Had to bring in a 165 ton crane in today to remove an old machine and replace it with a new one. Had to take the roof off to get them out and in. Wish i could have gotten some pics, but it was hard to do when I was having to help rig it all up for the lift. Been a busy day today. I need another beer now please!!!!

belltech adjustable shackles in the rear, and that belltech sway bar will make a huge difference




check out how the shocks are, compared to your last truck and you'll see why it feels different

It happened so fast. Good to see the fans immediately help those in need.
