Thank you. Yeah, I plan to chop the top in a couple of weeks. I've never worked with fiberglass, so it should be interesting.

On another note, are you and they good for this upcoming WoodPecker run on Sunday? I posted up for a show of hands in the Az Roll call thread... I don't feel worthy of wheeling with you guys with your SFA lifted and locked rigs. Kinda makes me feel puny with my DD.

Thanks man. I should be good for this weekend, not sure about anyone else though.

Wow, the power-welder, 'bob', 160A of Lovely, .......SICK! And btw, ... WOW that thing is looking to be a HUGE, formidable beast!

Forgive me if'n I'm misrepresenting, lol... But did you say, somewhere, that you were planning to motor swap with a 3RZ? Might have been another recent 'BEAST' thread I'm following, lol... Curious.

PS> Have a good'n, Nate!

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures so that you can learn from my mistakes.

Thanks Chef! No motor swap in the works as of yet. So far these little 22re's have been enough for the type of wheeling I do, with proper gearing of course. I'm not ruling an eventual swap out though!

It's awesome man! A little noisy, but probably the toughest thing on the truck.

Gonna do some sort of rear bumper first, nothing fancy, just enough to keep the tailgate off the rocks. Then I'm hoping to start on a cage and maybe a front bumper.

I can relate. I've got a 7 year old, a full time job, and go to school full time.
