haha maybe it might have some odds and ends hardware or parts i can get btw cat hardware is the best. But i like the yellow as a novelty and it adds alot of flare. and the PO had put a skyjacker lift kit on it but i have no idea how big or really what else he did to it. It will probably stay that height for a while what size do you think that is 4 inch?
