I just read over the last six or so pages and all I've got to say is Dang! You have been busy and it's looking great! The 37's look great and the full width axles look better than I imagined.

zack i know how your feeling with the project thing. i dont have another car to drive while im working on my truck so if i start something i have to finish it enough so i can drive it. like this last week i painted me truck so it would look a hell of a lot nicer for prom and it took me 4 days and about 30 to 40 hours to get it dont but thats just one thing on my long list just sit down and do a small project and mark it off. my interior is half done its driving me nuts but i dont have time to finish it right now.

thanks guys.

Josh I'll give you a ring, I am sure I will be out there LATE tonight.

I got my fuel cell adapter in last night, cut the hole for it and its ready to be tig welded.

The fuel cell I would really like to get in there and mounted by the end of the weekend. I keep smelling gas fumes so I need to get that closed up before I go welding :)

That might be a smart thing to do! I don't want to hear an explosion this weekend.

"And in the news tonight we have this just in from the city of Columbia in Indiana: an explosion of unknown origin ripped apart a large section of the town, setting off seismographic warnings at monitoring stations as much as 500 miles distant.

Authorities are on the scene now combing the wreckage but they ain't found sh*t."

(sorry, borrowed the Spaceballs joke, lol...)

No I am at work, I was going to open it once it was in the bed of the truck but it has what appears to be 6 rolls of packaging tape on it and I didnt think I could open it to easily with my bare hands.

I got several things accomplished tonight. no pics, left the camera outside. still working on the front frame and remounting my steering box. i should finish all that up and the D44 can slide under the front tomorrow.

eh the Tcase is just in "ok" shape, i guess it is to be expected for only 225. might mess with it tomorrow but i doubt it.

Ha! No I will still keep it as clean as I can, but now i feel I am more prepared (ready) to beat on it.

I got quite a bit done today, may not seem like a lot but by yourself its a lot.

pics coming...
