Thanks guys.
This thing won't have whitewalls for a while. The owner said hes going to drive on the stock tires for a while since they are new. I was a bit disappointed to hear this, since the rear is set up for a 27" tall tire, and the stocks are 24", which means he will lose some lift.

Because its a bag on axle setup, and sleeve bags get more lift and ride better when mounted directly to the axle.

Great work as always, Seth!Are you keeping the 2 piece driveshaft? I'm up in the air about it on mine right now... What are the plans for the bed? Just going to cut out the floor, or raise it up to hide everything?I'm itching to cut into mine- these pictures aren't helping!

Yeah, I'm keeping the two piece shaft. I just need to get it shortened and have the Toyota end put on. And the bed isn't going to have a floor. And he gave me an old wood box to mount in there so he can put stuff in it.

I don't have a punch. You must be thinking about the dimple dies. You can get them just about anywhere that sells tools online. VanSent, or Xtreme4x4.com.
I sprayed the frame with semi-flat rust tough paint, in a can. I like it.

what do you use to make the dimple dies make the holes press?

You buy the dimple dies. Use a hole saw or drill bit to make the holes ( I drill up to 1" holes, more accurate) and then use the dimple dies in a press. You can dimple up to 1/8" plate.
