Congrats! You must be a very happy man right now. Posts like this make me miss the workforce and despise seemingly endless years of school. :bang:

Rick,

Why Nah on the superchargers? It seems like they are almost a necessity after you load these 80's down like a sherman tank.
 
Wow, this economic downturn really bites.

i am going to make a bad ass rear bumper, set of sliders, and a giant skid plate at the end of summer just have to go pick up some steel and come up with some designs

i will also re-gear about the same time i can live with it being slow for a little while i am use to driving that heavy pig of a 4runner around:D
 
well to day after work i got the tires taken off the rims, power washed them, sandblasted them, acetone them, primed them and painted them.. WTF its been a long day:bang:. Tomorrow I will muscle the tires on the rims pour in the dyna beads and stuff the 35's on the stock suspension with pictures, for your enjoyment of course :popcorn:

like a $20 parts blaster:crybaby: it was a pain in my side kept cloging up and i would have to tap the side to get the sand out but it got the job done. im thinking i may have to modify it:D
