    Well, im thinking of going a different route with the suspension. I want to replace the torshions with coilovers in the front. Rancho makes a sick new setup that allows you to adjust the suspension on the fly. I can get a good deal with them and for under 1200 bucks and I do some fab work I can have near troughy truck style setup. It takes a few to load up so be patiant.

    Ended up painting the hood insert today. It started as black, after I put a foot print in it, ouch, it ended up tan because I ran out of black. I think it happened for a reason, it looks better then if it was black. So now im stuck. I cant decide if I should paint the rest of it camo. It already has alot of green, since I left the plastic black it already has that color and with the insert being tan it might not look good.

    Well, if my tags aren't enough to discourage road rage like that (ARMY VET} vehicular assault gives me the right to defend myself in any means necessary. No one screws with me around here, no one has the balls.
