Mounted the bedsides


How she sits today



I took it to Glamis for New Years and it did great until i broke the flange that the U-joint sits in at the end of the driveshaft. Once i get some good action shots ill post them up.

As for the lift i sold it already. Thanx though

All the parts plus having to pay a shop for labor to install everything im guessing like $12K. I didnt pay that much though

Im down for a trip sometime towards the end of Feb. I have to much crap going on for the next few weeks. Lets plan something.
