That's a really nice truck dude. Just as impressive is your shop, what I can see of it in the pics. I just got my shop (2 car garage) in October when I bought my house, before that it was the dining room table in my condo!

Thanks, and congrats on the house!

RCDAD I must say the work you do is quite inspiring are you happy with the diameter and wall thickness of the chrome moly you used on the cage ? and so my question is how did you bend the tubing because most tubing benders I have at work wont go down to 3/8 tubing, And that truck is bad to the bone! If you put that OBR 8.2 in do you think the truck can handle that much power

The tubing has held up to a few rollovers. I even cartwheeled it down the street with only scratches to prove it. I did not have the body on. The street cartwheels would have killed it. LOL This is the tubing bender I use. I purchased it from Harbor Freight. I don't see it on their site any more though.

I do want that OBR reed. It can handle it. I have the 7.5hp in the XB and that does great. The 8.2hp in the MT would be a beast. As long as you don't run the huge MT tires the drive train will be ok.
