1) NICE TRUCK!! Very "AdamFoote" like!

2) Let me guess...........$15K Snap-On setup?

I had a buddy that had a Snap-On box kinda like the middle lower section (it was bigger) and I know it cost him $7K just for that.

Your Close

The box cost including the side lockers cost $16k. Since I have been in the field I have purchased including the box about $50k worth of equipment. The reason I spent so much is because I have had jobs doing everything including which requires the tools (special tools) to do everything properly. Heavy Line (engine rebuilding), Front End (suspension), Manual Transmissions, Automatic Tranmissions (only for 9 months), Diesel Engine Repair (more experience than you could ever imagine), Diesel and Gasoline Drivability (all I do now unless I am out of work and have to take some of my guys work- check engine lights and all engine electronics-) Differential and Driveline (I thought the smell on me from friction modifier would never leave), and last but not least A/C and Electrical and what I hate most TRIM (I hate trim, told my shop foreman if I can't use a big screw driver and I hammer I shouldn't be touching it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!):D :D :D :D :D
 












THANKS GUYS.
 






You've probably mentioned elsewhere, but how about listing the specs here, like size and brand of tires, lift winch, etc.

Looks good!
 






Six more inches added, spring over on rear!

I love that "a small change over the years" hahaha
I fell ya.
Looking good, hopefully get to wheel the same trail with you soon.
Any updates? I know you have banged up some sheetmetal since these pics :)
 






well I figured I would put this pic on here since its different from the last one and once again next week the X will change and I'll add one more update. Its gonna look quite a bit different.

man that thing looks cool. How's it doing so far? :thumbsup:

thats an awesome rig u have.
 












first pic on this thread, how much lift do you have on that? And thats with the TTB right, not solid.
 






This is one of my favorite rigs. I've always loved your cage with chop top. What do you have planned for it next week? Are you going through with the coils in the rear and chop the back off the X idea?

I have a solid axle up front a full width dana 44, I think I have about 7 inches susp

BMX, I want to chop the rear and put a real deal 5 link front and rear but will have to wait until next year to pay for the parts so it will be right (fuel cell, coils, shocks, linkages, etc.). With the new kid It kinda limited my budget this year. 3 kids + 1 wife + Xplorer + house + new vehicles = little money, thats my current equation. But next week I am changing the paint on Saturday, I found some paint I forgot about thats about 1 1/2 yrs old but it is free. So I'll post a new pic up on Sunday evening its gonna be a sweet deal.

Thnx for the comps guys. :D

Dmb, So far I have found only 2 weak links, Once in Moab I ripped of my trac Bar bracket but have now reinforced it and its holding up fine to my abuse. The other is the front axles, with the full spool I tend to snap a front axle about once every 5 to 6 trips, however I have now purchased two complete axles ready to go when one breaks. (and all my axles are covered under a life time uncondtional guarentee thnx to 4 wheel parts).
