Nice!!!

Well, we can't say that it's gonna be 100% similar to Papa's truck. Heh, my truck is way better than Papa's though, I assure you this...;P

Yea, there are a few differences between them. Papa's truck had 4 UE Supershocks and no reservoirs, Strobe limiters, and naturally the electronics will be differenct, but aside from that, there pretty similar.

i actually saw papa'a truck in the UE gallery when i was searching for pics of the cf chassis, and when i saw it i was like, "yep, i think thats what i want!!" So yeh, this truck definately took some cues from papa, Not sure if i can do this, or if you'll be able to see it if you're not on the UE forums, but heres the link to papa's gallery, http://www.unlimitedengineering.com/...s&c=279&page=7, scroll to the bottom

A year seems like a long time, but i was in year 12, which is the last year of high school in Australia, so between studying and exams, i needed this parts hunt kept me sane!!

i'll be sure to post progress pics along the way, thanks for the great comments
