Talking Optimus v4.0 - HE'S DONE!!!!!
Finally!!!!!! Here are some quick pics. He was still quite dirty from being worked on but you get the idea. I still have to get the fender lining finished and some touch-ups on some suspension components but all in all; Optimus is finally done!!!

The only two mods I didn't do (and don't know if I ever will) are the stacks (because of how much extra work is needed) and the new fuel tank (because Transfer flow's is only for automatics!!!)

Let me know what you guys think.

I will try to snap some pictures with him pulling my new trailer tomorrow or Sunday.

Enjoy!








Here is what the stock flares looked like for reference!

Those front tires really make the truck look huge.

Great combo if everything!

Holy Guacamole!!! That is the best, badest truck IMO!!!!
It will be silly for a magazine not to pick-it up for the front cover.
Congrats David...Optimus is the best one yet

Thanks guys! I will get some better pics when he is clean!

I would say I am at or past the $250K mark on this project.

I hope a magazine will put it in; I just don't have any contacts with any of them. Also, if I can find my camera, I am gunna do some YouTube videos with it.

One Mean Looking Machine. Rear Fenders Are 1000% Better.
