    I like the picture with the wheels and stuff.

    The truck is clean, and it doesn't even smell weird!

    I don't remember taking that picture, but it's probably the best out of all that I shot!!!

    Seth you might want to take another whiff. That truck was used to haul around a 100 pound German Shepard!!!

    Since a lot of material is removed, and I build things in a weight saving matter, a maximum of 100 lbs is added. The control arms I build are actually significantly lighter than stock.
