Hello everybody, I used to be registered on here back on the old site but keep forgetting to reregister. Anyways My names Brian Riggs, I own Illusive Design & Fabrications (www.illusivefabrications.com) not trying to advertise or anything some people just know me by that. I have known a few of you for some time now and have met quite a few others at shows. I have a 91 4 dr explorer thats trying to get finnished being body dropped on air. And I also have a 00 Ranger ext cab thats my bagged daily. I'll try and get some more pics up later but heres one with a customers chassis I'm building. Crappy pic but oh well it works for now lol.

Not much man just been trying to get stuff done since I got back from Carlisle. Buyin those new rockers lit a spark for me to get goin on the X again soon! I just need to get this chassis out of here so I can have more time to spend on my trucks.

whats left on the chassis? nervous bout everything actually bolting/swapping over formt he truck since you didnt have it to measure from throughout??

Subject: Re: Whats up from northern Ohio. Tue Aug 18, 2009 2:02 pm

Na the chassis is fine I'm not even doing the body mounts the motor shop is. I'm just doing the main structural work and the air ride. I still got a little left to do on it. I was waiting on steel to come in so I could cut out the shear load gussets and some other things but I'm about to get more done to it as soon as I finnish up a couple parts orders.

Thanks everybody I'll keep you all posted on the rides for sure. CJ me and Charlie bagged it the first time, then I bought a welder and redid some of it my self. But it was only down for a week when I did that lol. I think I drove it for a year baggged Dropt N Destroyed 1, Mini Truckin Nats at Nashville Super Speedway, and Indy. Then I decided to body drop it one day after me and tony 4 linked it to get it off the leafs and thats where it all started and I figured out how much of a pain in the ass explorers are haha. Yea I can't wait to drive the damn thing again!
