    :ROFL: that just made my day. and on a ****ty day like this, thats an accomplishment.

    the front rides over waves and things okay, but sucks very much over rough road of sharp edged bumps. the rear has almost no compression til it bottoms out. ive gotten used to it. its still fun to drive it. rear is first to get changed. then redo the front. but right now, its sitting downed while i do some stuff to the motor.

    here is the very long awaited photo update of this truck. ill give tech specs later. videos still to come. ill keep the words short and let the pictures say their 1000's of words. they are taken from my iphone, so they arent too bad. i tweaked the contrast, saturation, ect; and cropped them. ill use my good cameras to get some shots soon that are really crisp.

    without further wait :D

    Yeah James I got a passenger glass and rear flat window. No seal for the rear. Make an offer.

    And thanks guys, it's coming along nicely. Ill post new pics tonight or tomorrow. It's cab and front is all polished up. Finish that tomorrow and wax it. Just in time for the weekend. Ill get some dope photo sessions with it. I have some real cool ideas up my sleeve for that. Keep your eyes peeled.

    and no, i would never put an 18r in something buddy. its a 22r block with domed pistons and a 20r head. heres a cool picture. i run my gauges in that combo alot. ill have the oil pressure gauge hooked up soon and install my air/fuel gauge. that wont be hooked up until i weld in an O2 sensor.
