For those interested I have taken some photos of build up that I did before this years Tuff Truck. It started about 6 weeks before TTC when Matt said he wanted to compete in TTC so I said if he helped me out we could enter the Firetruck. My mistake Matt managed to help out for one weekend!

I started a list of what we had to do and it went something like this:

-build from ground up front and rear steer SOLID Industries "SOLID" Dana 60 Axles,
-stretch and build front suspension (brackets and control arms),
-rebuild and stretch rear suspension (diff brackets and A frame),
-make new rear shock mounts (suit coilovers),
-install new bumpstops and mounts,
-mount and install Atlas,
-mount and install POS front and rear double ended rams,
-make up and install Eaton orbital valve, steering column, reservoir, Vickers rear steer valve and Eaton hydraulic braided hydro lines,
-make up new Aeroquip braid race brakelines (manual aerospace quality fittings),
-make new caliper brakets to suit GQ patrol disc brakes and calipers,
-mount and install cutting brakes,
-remove front cross member, front relocate winch and make new cross member and winch mount in order to have 100% approach angle,
-install stainless steel roof,
-install 6 Narva Spot Lights,
-install 6 rock lights,
-mount and install front and rear Warn Rockcrawling winches,
-mount Staun 20in Double Internal Beadlocks,
-mount Procomp Super Sticky Comp Spec 40x20in Xterrains

etc

Anyway I will try and explain my reasonings for why I did things a particular way and why I chose certain products. I will also try and answer any questions. I am unlikely to post up the photos in any particular order so bare with me.
