Fenders finaly showed up from Glassworks unlimitted (about a week and a few days late) o well at least there here and my painter buddy said he would paint them this weekend.

HOLY CRAP... i wish i wouldnt have been so busy the last few weeks ida been down to come help.. i like workin on ur rigs, every time weve worked on ur truck you always have beer on hand lol . dude that is going to be amazing, im thinkin me and nicole are gonna have to follow you guys down to the dunes for its maiden voyage. infact i may have to come over and check this thing out friday night or saterday.. and maybe pick up my random tools and hitch from ya lol ... btw did i ever give you your shovel back?

... now when this thing is streetable i might know of a place in clackamas that you might be able to give it a little bit of air time lol the runna might take the hit a wee bit better than a stock height 2wd standard cab ranger with blown out shocks lol ill have to try and find the video we have of it, we hit the lip at about 60-65 and ya im suprised we didnt rip the oil pan off the motor, it shaved the drain plug down about half way and stereo flew out of the dash and hit the rear window lol
