im picky when it comes to parts dealers

that is looking mighty nice... i think i am going to have to go to Fazzios to get a ton of sheet metal and some "square tube" cause i have this awesomely great idea for a diff. and much better box in the back and maybe a spare tire mount... also to make my own front winch bumper and a rear bumper... i was thinking of cutting out the inner wheel wells and fabbing my own to make the bigger tires fit better... but i like the way that looks with the lights in it... gonna be sick... now all you need is lights for the sides so we can see everything... lol

thanks and i was thinking about it i will figure someway out to get lights to point to the side that wont make it too gawdy

motors 99% done...would have been completely done aside from finding a crack in my stock intake...so i made a call and i am having an aluminum intake delivered to me tomorrow night or saturday

truck is coming along running great but while filling the rad and going over things i noticed that there is water in the oil and with the block and rad holding water and not rapidly dropping the level and having very vandictive people near me it is my belief that someone put the water in the oil. will know later when i drain the oil and do another oil change then once i get that squared away i will be able to finish cam break in and button it up the rest of the way
