Incredible work, man. That ram tray/shelf/skid is tits. I look forward to seeing more pics of it in action.

[American]

THAT is the "most baddest ass cab truck"!

That is a sick ass truck!

[toyin]

This truck is rediculous. All the little details are sweet.

[brooksy1]

I must say that the Fab work is VERY impressive & attention to detail is good.

Nice job so far !!

[Fawk Awph]

i like how the grill just so happened to turn out looking like a skull. whats the drivetrail. . .other than the 609.

Callen

[DrVic723]

The front is a 9/60 hybrid w/ alloy USA 35spl inners & outers. Originally the 2.7, swapped for the 3.4 and SC is on it's way (notice no hood yet :D ). Stock 5sp R150 with taco supreme rear case. Drive shafts are .250" DOM with 1350s on each end. The rear is an Eaton HO with 14B guts & locker. Thakns for the props! -Jeff

[bigassedredjeep]

sick.

[BigWoodyWag]

Whats the travel look like on that rear end, looks like you built plenty of clearence into it. I really like the bolt together rear to front section where the backhalf attaches to the cage in the cab. Very well thought out.

Badass!

[BCzuk]

Beautiful work:smokin:

[snowdemon]

Absolutely amazing work. I would love to see that in person someday to appreciate the attention to detail a little closer.

[yotawatts]

[TejasYOTA]

DAMN GREAT TRUCK!
I thought the photos would never end! ;)
Now that it has been de-virginized, the doors..are you going to go with tubed doors and an exo-shell for the rest?
How did she handle?
Great job!

[DrVic723]

I'm not a fan of tube doors or exo cages, but the tube doors might be needed since neither door opens freely anymore.. went wheeling today, had a great time, I'll post some vids and pics within the next few days.

[Rokcrler]

I like the "experienced" sheetmetal:grinpimp:
post up the vids already!!!:beer:

you guys do awesome work, I love the idea for the kinked track bar for us guys who are lowering our crawlers, the only thing is the welded kink does look a little cheese. I was thinking of a bent tube with gussets?

[zabeard]

beautiful work! good luck on the sale!

[over's tj]

Nate, Jeff Thanks for the help on the parts for my 101" wb TJ project. your unique parts are quality AT GREAT PRICES!

That Toy is one of the best anywhere, I envy the "potential" new owner

[DrVic723]

Price drop to $13,000! Must move ASAP!

[gebraic]

sorry for the hijack but where did you get your taillights from i can't find clear ones

[Yjunk]

I just bought the Balistic Taco and had the chance to meet all the guys at the shop and to tour the facility. I was really impressed with everyone there; they take a lot of pride in their work and are extremely dedicated...

The shop is currently adding new Balistic coilovers to the rig for me and I'll be ordering a set of their new bump stops as well in the next week or so. From there we'll fine tune and adjust as need.

I don't plan on making many changes to the rig; if you know it, you already know it fawkin works. There may be some minor adjustmens made in the suspension to compensate for my need to go fast... Any updates we do make I'll post up and let you know how they turned out.

If you're ever in the Phoenix area and want to get a look at the Balistic Product Line in action... just shoot me a PM.

[Booger Weldz]

I'll say it again, like I do every year, maybe next year. :shaking:

yeah, but this year the price of gas is a very legitimate excuse...:( if yiou came you would have to stay for a week, wheel the rubicon, fordyce creek, barrett lake, then head south, outside of fresno(marlin crawler/trail gear) for bald mountain and swamp lake,maybe dusy....these trails arent hard like the stuff in arizona, but the scenery...totally worth the trip, especailly as a family vacation!

[AzRat]

Stroke, it must be the red paint! You guys gonna wheel over the 4th? I am not sure I can have my junk done by then.

[FAUX X 4]

YES, wheeling on the 4th or 5th will happen somewhere, done (fixed) or not.
