Haha as if I don't give him enough cred! Can't wait to see the rest of this mongolian masterpiece!

chuckamazuk · Nov 8, 2011

Thanks y'all! I updated the OP.

Hugetanker · Nov 8, 2011

Love the rig. I always did like that color X. And you have a lot of time into it. Lokking forward to seeing more.

xearth · Dec 1, 2011

Great build! I knew I had seen that pic somewhere before. I think I might be doing a little "up chuck" myself here shortly

AbuseTheElderly · Dec 1, 2011

Nice build Chuck and congrats on making the magazine! I too will be doing the Up-Chuck mod after my BL, it's a great mod!

Xterraforce · Dec 2, 2011

Very nice build.

AaronsX · Dec 2, 2011

Loving this red X! I really want some of those neopremes that match my paint it makes it look clean!

I second this. For some reason, I don't see a lot of red X's around.

BigMeanTam · Dec 4, 2011

Dang, that's a lot of work you've put in. Your truck looks great, and nice going on getting all famous with the magazine pic! ;-)

NismoFire · Dec 5, 2011

Where could I find some of those seat covers?

Jmac289gt · Jan 5, 2012

very nice there chuck, I seem to like that color too for some reason, I just can't put my finger on why though. Really like those seat covers too.

Jmac289gt · Jan 5, 2012

Hey, what did you end up doing about your rear bumper after the hitch flip? Any pictures?

Ricel · Jan 6, 2012

If I remember, he couldn't get the bumper to fit over his hitch. I did it with the 'curt' hitch and it fit perfectly.

chuckamazuk · Jan 6, 2012

I made some spacers for my hitch so that it sits down an inch below the frame. These will give me the clearance I need to get the OEM bumper over my hitch and below the tailgate arc. Now I'm just working on drilling my bumper holes out to accommodate the 2" BL. After that I'll cutout my bumper. I'll get more pics up later.

** adding more photos **

Timrich · Jan 6, 2012

Lookin good Chuck!!!

chuckamazuk · Jan 8, 2012

I got some work done on my rear bumper today. It's not mounted yet but very close. I'm not sure if I want to cut it some more or leave it as is. I need to get some edging for it to give it a finished look.

Jmac289gt · Jan 8, 2012

Looks very clean from the picture. Do you offroad with the tire underneath or do you put it up when offroading?

chuckamazuk · Jan 8, 2012

Thanks! I put it in the cargo area or on the roof.

Macland · Jan 8, 2012

That looks clean man. I think a little trim would just be added perfection.

xearth · Jan 8, 2012

The trimming you'e got looks great! And I was gonna ask about the tire too

Jmac289gt · Jan 9, 2012

I have gone out a couple of times with my spare still underneath, it does hit the ground sometimes but my hitch is still there taking most of the impact. I want to remove the hitch for this reason but then I don't have a tow point from the rear, which is why I need a new rear bumper.

chuckamazuk · Jan 9, 2012

I cleaned up my cuts, made a couple of notches, and finally got my bumper mounted this evening. I couldnt find any edge moulding today; I'll try again tomorrow.

*added some door trim to cover the sharp metal edges*

Jmac289gt · Jan 9, 2012

Very nice night pitcures, the spare tire is really sticking out like crazy now.

chuckamazuk · Jan 16, 2012

Added trim pic to post #34. I need to give everything a good paint job but I'll probably put it off until late Spring after I graduate.

chuckamazuk · Mar 20, 2012

I finally got some truck time in. I fixed the squeaks that have been bothering the crap out of me; one being the front bumper (due to broken bolts during the BL) and one being my rear passenger side body puck. The bolt had backed out some and allowed the puck to pivot (and make a ton of noise). Both are fixed [for now].

While I was at it, I painted my OEM front skid plate and put it back on the X (it was off since my last oil change).

drbandkgb · Mar 26, 2012

Hey Chuck.. When are we going to get a XN sticker on that rig

Roninjiro · Mar 27, 2012

good idea with the tow bar... would have never thought to do that

chuckamazuk · Mar 27, 2012

I have one on there; just no pics to prove it. Ian got me one and I put it on right away.

Thanks, Roninjiro.

Timrich · Mar 27, 2012

The X looks bad a$$ man! Keep up the good work!
