WOW, really? ON MY WAY!!!!! hahaha... actually, I would LOVE to do that... Granting it would save me some money from grabbing an Addicted, etc., ya know? lol.... I'm sure it would. Could we do dual tubes and a lil squared off stinger, level with the hood????? Maybe sliders, EH?? hMMMMMM! hehe...

Seriously, you did a great job/HAVE DONE a great job so far on everything, man! I'm impressed!

Thanks Chef, you've been a great help to me as well as hundreds/thousands of people online! I know your busy with work/family/etc but when time allows, PM me and come make whatever u want. You can measure/design it all on Bend-Tech Pro, bend it on my air/hydro bender, then Mr. JD2 will come make it fit nicely =D. Haha Team Hobart(mig and plasma) are available to you as well. (And YES we can easily make exactly what u described for ur bumper)

The rod of the brake proportioner can be manipulated to give you better braking. I installed a turn buckle under the back of my runner. Then I ran the rod through the bottom eyelet of the turn buckle. This allowed me to adjust it by turning the buckle up or down, thus raising or lowering the arm. It was a real life saver for me because I installed disc brakes in the rear of my runner. Everything is looking great. Please do not think that I am another one of the @ssholes that likes to slaughter other people's initiative. Cannot wait to see what you do next.

Thanks Stu, appreciate the info, its a great idea for manipulating the lspv. I removed the stock lspv and put a wilwood manual prop valve right by the MC in the engine bay so i dont have to worry about the stock LSPV and rod. =D

Quick question, can you get a pick from the bottom of your steering box bracket? The way mine is mocked up the bracket is below the frame about 1/2 inch.

Looks good man, I think that should be plenty of room for the 37's. Only one way to find out!

That is just BEAUTIFUL! lol... Hey, what exit ramp is that? Leave the keys in it, ok? hehehe.

Actually, I'd LOVE to take you up soon on that slider and other stuff help... As the movie is named, "I love your work!" lol.

I was just messing on the 'where's that at?' question... it just looks familiar for some reason! haha
