So I have spent all afternoon reading this thread and trust me it has been great sunday afternoon entertainment. LOL! I Love It! I really believe you need to start your own show on SPEED Channel. I think it would be great. I would never miss an episode! Matter of fact I would probably DVR them. LOL!

HeeHeeeee.......I've been approached by SPEED, but to advertise on one of thier wrench shows....it only costs $16,000 to do so.......I laughed when the proposed contract came pdf, this after numerous phone calls consuming 5 hours of fabrication time over a month, atleast....Faxed them back suggesting 30K in my pocket as......Why should I pay to make you popular? Never heard back from them, GOOD!....quit waisting my time.
I suppose for a large company with offshore production, 16k is not a big deal.......little guy like me, hell.......my Jeep would be done, the wife could have a new kitchen.....kid could have a fresh, steady stock of Lego's and
we'd have have a personal grounds keeper for 3 years........
Nothing against SPEED, we just have different ideas of cash flow, but it's nice to know I somehow attracted them......(must'a been my personal hygiene)

GLAD YOU LIKED!!!

Well first off, i already like the attitude on this forum more than the others im a member at.
Second, A wonderful build thread, i love the fabrication, the pictures (especially the inappropriate ones) anytime i can see a barely clothed woman while reading a build thread i am content.
And last question. Ive been checking back on the site for weeks man, i want a tailbone for my 2k sooooo bad.

After i finish my degree to take care of the military's checklist of promotion this summer im going to take a welding class at a local CC. And maybe one day down the road ill go crazy and do everything myself. Thanks for the inspiration and for adding one more bookmark to my web browser.

Looking forward to getting back to it as well, some crazy so-cal dude is sending me some sort of sound system for it...........who am I to say no?......I'm thinking the amp will need to go up in the cage some how, we'll see when it shows up....lol

Glad you all enjoy the thread.

Really need to somehow find the time to get this things act together.....As far as steering goes, I went to YJ steering because it was cheap.....(I found it in my loft...lol)...Yet to try it out. Crazy Brian from SoCal sent me an entire sound system, Kenwood head unit, speakers & amp, I'm thinking the amp will be mounted up in the cage, as far as the rest....I'm seeking out 4 new, undamaged doors.....so no sense in mounting speakers yet......Another week or so, I'm going to attempt to get this thing near completion.........ya right......what am I thinking...?
