On a serious note, I see you've been taking alot of verbal criticism here lately some for good reason and some just because people like to talk. I have seen alot of excellent fabrication work by some members here and think anyone can learn from their advice. I, like everyone else here dont think the TB is a good idea. I only hope that if the truck does run you dont test drive it on public roads where people can be injured.

This, sadly, does not surprise me. About every 5th 99 or older 4x4 I see goes down the road 3" off from front to rear, because of people who do their own homemade lift kit from pieces of 4x4 from a pallet, or a piece of square tubing that was cut off crooked with a torch or sawzall. I always thought high school kids did stupid stuff, until I got older, and have seen what a grown man who doesn't know what he's doing, but thinks he does, can screw up.

wow this thread went to **** fast... First off I think its pretty gutsy what your doing to dive in and do the work your doing to your truck yourself only practice makes perfect. But you do need alot more practice I think this thread should have been more of an advice thread then anything not a thread were your trying to prove yourself as a fabricator. Don't take things so personal everyone here is only trying to point you in the right direction whether it be good or bad criticism. Look man just keep working at it and talk to some of the badass fabricators on here im sure they will be more then happy to help you out.

Having your front brakes is an absolute nessecity!!! I mean how or why would you even consider removing them!

I say there is nothing wrong with trying to fabricate and modify your truck but when you start messing with the safety of your self and others you need to think twice about it. Some things are goin to be out of your skill level you just need to be smart enough to recognize them and have a professional do that work for you or help you out through the process. I honestly have to agree tho with the guys that say your stuff are hack jobs. In reality they are they are completely unfinished unsafe and not thought through at all.
