Yo man, wish I was as fast a builder as you, lol. Yo guess what the first thing Andy did when he got home, flexed her out on the drain ditch at the bottom of the road. The lil bro is already trying to buy lift parts, lol.

Well, at least now you can change the spark plugs. You gonna run the 4.0?

I will make sure my project doesnt interfer

I am planning on running a 350 (on the 'pane), th400, atlas.

There are 4 large expences i bugeted for: Tires and rims, shocks, steering and winch. Since the steering is going to be cheap I thought some bling was in order to set it apart.

oh yea joel won.

 

[SSWaters]

Cool Man!!! Looks like mine right now - a mess with potential.

I dunno, but they look like you got them off a dump truck or something. WOW!

 

[pheery]

those axles are obviously samurai axles. good plan to keep it narrow.

 

[Rich]

if you don't go 4 wheel steering with rockwell's, you're just half-assing it

Thought that was funny when I heard it..

Don't forget some $$ to make a cage...

 

[StudNuts]

Thought that was funny when I heard it..

Thats a Greg one liner for ya

 

[scarface]

I am going to address that after I am done doing it this way first. Plus i have 2 rear axles so economically it made since to go no rearsteer this time.

So, if I steal my kids lunch money and buy another front I'm a "complete" ass instead of "half"? Hee, Heee!
