Jarrett's Truck 2.0

Fair warning Jarrett, people don't like Raptors as low riders here... build is looking good man!

@svc what is the time needed for a client build like this?

Obviously I'm a little different because I work on this when I have time.

For a client, with all hands on deck I think 4-6 months is realistic.

Certain items like Fuel cells, shocks chosen, rear-ends are what adds to the time frame. As long as we map all that out up front and have a complete game plan going into it, then I believe it can be done in 4 without changes. Yet somehow changes always seem to come into play.

Don't worry, I think these 4.4's need a little more ride height to stretch their legs. To give you an idea of how big they are, the coilover shock next to it is a 3.0 in

**** man! You guys have made a ton of progress since I was there just a few weeks ago. Impressive how much work you can get done with such little time.

On another note, those jack stands are killer. I use the same ones

those "jack stands" look to be pipe stands that any welding supply shop should sell. also @svc what would a build like this cost?

Man that's always a tough one to answer because these things have a tendency to jump really quick. So much of it depends on the components chosen by the customer. Are we using an off the shelf fuel cell or a custom one built with some style? Is the motor being built, blowers used, interior getting decked out, the biggest shocks available, full Tubeworks rear end, or less expensive Currie? Things like brake packages, lighting, Tig welded vs. Mig welded, what kind of panelling will the finish product have. Full front clip or normal fiberglass? Is the truck getting wrapped or is it getting a 5-7K paint job? You can see how it can start to snowball quick.

Basically for a truck like mine, with all the hours into it, and still way more to come, I think it's safe to say you are in the 80k range plus or minus a few. But you can go North of 100K real quick if you go with the no expense spared approach.

Hope this helps.
