just an update. got my front brakes completed and holy **** this thing will stop on a dime now. also got the track installed after rough country screwed up my order and sent it to florida instead of illinois to some other guy under my credit card, they did do right by it and didnt charge me anything and sent it out quick. ran into a few problem with install but fixed those problems with a hammer. hoping to get a few more things done before the cliffs trip on august 18th but i doubt that will happen since i am pretty much broke right now and still have to save gas money to move back to iowa in a few weeks
