Well I dropped it off a week ago or so, but they couln't finish it, without setting seat pressures with the new springs/retainres, seals ect... so I am hoping I get it back early next week with my crank/rods/bearings ect... but we will see. I want it all done and running in 2 weeks so I can start breaking it in for trips this year lol

Yeah no kidding huh lol, Well, Immediate plans are limit straps and bump stops... but a winch is in order, ****** block and other reovery stuff...... then alloys. Then Hydrolic assist.... then I should be "done" till its cage time and the next thing breaks lol

Then that will be all, untill I can afford a Tow-rig/DD

then I will wear the tires a bit and it will probably be on 37's, some time it will have dual cases or a D300 with 4-1... But thats a Pipe dream at this point...
