how do I know about that ? I messed up an expensive drive shaft when mine hit the cross member. any way, at your Christmas party, you might start a new game. have your buddies climb into the back of the truck to compress the suspension & check for clearance. good luck & happy holidays.

Hi nvrdone,

In the picture it looks like there is not enough room, but there is,
I had 4 people in the back of the truck, and I have clearance enough.

I am very happy with the stance of the truck.


You a happy holliday, and best wishes for 2017

Bought a oak set for in the back.





I also bought New inner fenders the back




They are to big, so I Will narrow them done a little

Nice job in the mini tubs. I like the shape of them more now that they are cut down in width.

Got this little video from Fer, the first start up of his truck.
Due to very bad Wfi at where he is now, he asked me to upload the video to YouTube and place it here.

So here is the link, it sounds great!!!
