SILVER Star
I bought this rig last year and have only done some minor projects on it since then. I've been meaning to start a build thread to keep track of what I've done and share what I learn in case it benefits others. So 16 months later, here we go.
I guess I kind of cheated as I didn't start with a stock 80 like so many guys on mud have done. I was just getting ready to kick off a build on a stock 40th that I bought in Houston in 2012 when RS6toFJ80 posted his 80 up for sale (link to that For Sale thread). It was about 90% of what I wanted to build mine into (with better options selected in many areas of the build) and the price was right so I had to jump on it.
Here's the highlights of the baseline that I started with when I bought it last March:
