Why did you stop building the s10? I mean obviously to build the other truck but why not finish one before the next?

lol i've been building on the big green/multicolor one since about 2004 lol . . then started on the s10 . . got it for a good deal . .had some parts laying around . . and i was pretty much done with the full size until i got pissed about breaking front axles and went to the 20 tons . .

the full size first got 36's with no lift . . then 3 inch body, then big block, then 4 inch suspesnion, then 39.5's for 1 week, then 3/4 tons and 44's and an th350 . . then a th400, now 20 tons and 53's with a 2.5 ton case, full hydro steering etc. etc. . .

i know i'm crazy . . and yeah someone said looks like a box of crayola exploded on my truck . . .lol . . . . thinking about getting some black primer and some beer and calling a few buddies over . . . but my luck i'll be the one doing all the work while they sit back and drink beer talking shit lol

floor done cell mounted . . might change it up still dunno if i like it . . . still need a -8 AN 90* fitting so hose don't come up all funky like . . . and still planning on putting an aluminum box around it so people can't stand on it .. . .

looks good . its gonna sux puting gas in it were it is mounted (but it not like this is a dailey driver ) mines was any spills and you are getting high off of it .. just a thought but when i did my cell i just made a box the same size as the cell and flush mounted it near the taligate and also made a space for my batteries too . and since it doesnt look like you are mounting a spare tire back under there that would be a good spot. that and you will have more cargo space to haul . but i dont think you made this truck for convience just to play in the mud.. my cell got stolen where u have your right now . just my two cents. nice build

well i don't haul much in the bed anymore (no more 2700 lb junk metal runs). . maybe just a tow rope and some people lol. . . i'm making an aluminum box to go all the way across the bed and you won't beable to see the cell that way people can't step on it . . i was trying to decide where to put it because i don't wanna move it again . . was trying to plan for a roll cage and all . .wanna run stacks but probably take them to the outside of the bed . . . . if i ever go trail riding i might take a spare but don't know how in the world i would get it up (tow truck i guess) then just kick it off . .somewhere around 600 lbs for tire and wheel . .lol
