haha well first it was simple idea... then "we could do it this way......" which ended with me tearing the truck in half and going all out. Kings are my friends that he let me borrow.

i will have it finished up before i leave tho. even if i have to fly back out here 4 days before i leave to pick it up and drive it home then leave

coil overs and bypass came in today, just waiting on the upper springs now. those should be in by thursday or friday.

i am hoping to pick the truck up in about 10 days and then i will pull the a/c pump, re wire some of the truck and i have to build a new intake. hopefully have it running and driving around mid january. will be looking some some used bypass shocks out back so i can get the whole truck somewhat dialed in
