this will be my first build post here so it better be a good one

OK so this is a rough idea of what I'm shooting for, I've been gathering parts for a few weeks now and I'm ready to start on it. the frame rails are 36 inches long and will have the cab sitting out front, 40-ish inches total. going to have the same axle lay out, lots of aluminum upgrades! and lots of time involved

Nice project! I look forward to seeing the boom design and implementation. Should be a beast when it's done.

I didn't mean that in a bad way, seems like the Mountain Dew is giving Russ a very vivid imagination. Carry on.

Hey Russ, when it's done will it be able to lift your cat?
