      Auto Rod Technologies Parts Runner SRT-10

      Last summer I picked up this truck and I really wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, after driving it through the end of summer I decided that some suspension upgrades were a must, the truck handled really bad, bump steer was horrible and it would bottom out on just about every bump it hit. The truck was previously lowered and was not done properly, the front coils were cut, the upper control arms had to much angle and the mounts were not raised to correct the upper control arm angle. Rear bottomed on the frame and the tires would rub the bed, the drive shaft also rubbing the cross member.



      Paint work was rough in a few spots to which really bothered me so between needing a paint job and suspension work I decided to tear it apart and re-build everything that I wasn't happy with and also a bunch of upgrades along the way.

      I decided with a full paint job and air ride suspension. with some audio upgrades as well. The truck will lay the frame but it was built to also drastically improve the handling, I'm anxious to drive it for the first time and i'm hoping the truck will be a great all around truck that will be good for daily driving, shows, and I'm hoping to test it out for a few laps at gingerman just to see how it does.

      Here are a few pics of the truck before I began repairs.
