New information:

When I met my wife, she had an Acura RSX. Some people may know, but my inlaws live with my wife and I. My wife is Taiwanese, but born and raised in Brazil. Long story. My father in law chartered a boat from Taiwan in 1957. Landed on the shores of Brazil and raised a family, two kids through college, etc. Didn't know the language, very little money .. you get the idea. He sold shoes out of the back of a VW Bug to make a living.

When my wife was going through school they opened a Chinese resturaunt in Brazil. they did fairly well until the resturaunt was robbed at gun point. This made her decide, she was leaving Brazil and taking her parents with her. Her sister is still there. (Rio)

So, all that said. Her parents live with us. Her mom is now driving the RSX I mentioned. In November, she is leaving the US and going back to Rio to help my sister in law. Recently divorced, two kids, and needs some help. She will be gone for 3+ yrs.

That leaves an extra car. If I put billets on my truck, it's now less of a daily driver for me. My wife and I work at the same place. Same hours, same shift. We ride together 95% of the time. When I say this truck would be a 'daily' .. it's not really an every day thing. On nasty days, I can drive the RSX.

Better idea ?? If I put billets on this truck, it takes it up about 10 notches in my opinion. You guys know me. .. if I can work out a deal, I'll do it. I'm trying to buy the ones Eric has for sale. I know they're 6" backspacing but I have other connections to make them work We're only talking about 1/4" or so. Remember, the big brakes on the back might (?) change the rear track width a little? Also, I'm replacing the wood in the bed. I could also trim a little off the wood to add clearance to 'tuck them a little more.

Stay tuned.. I love my wife! (HER IDEA!)

Lucky you! I wish my wife made suggestions like that.
