    Is it the frame that is the main problem? I can give you my swaybar and relocation kit (or just use the bolts from it) if that would help any. I assume the frame is the issue though :(

    Yep it's the frame. Rediculious. I have 2 sway bar relocation kits and all the hardware. I can see where the welded nut broke from the frame.

    I know, I do some pretty erratic movements on the roadways though. I remember when it broke the bolts, I was doing a Uturn . creakkkkkkkk BANG BANG! then a bunch of rattling. Checked out where the noise came from and saw the damage from the rusted frame breaking away.

    I was asked again recently a question. "What would you do if you had or were given $10,000 right now. You could use it on anything, but had to spend it all 'now' on goods, not services or investments."

    I thought for a couple minutes and had 2 answers for him.

    1. Buy a CNC Machine and welding equipment to start a business.

    2. Finish the build on my truck. Theres really not much in the way of things I want to do right now to it.
    --1. Spiderlock 20" Beadlocks - 5 of them - $2,500
    --2. URD Supercharger - ~$6,000 -> Might be less, Found a whole kit on eBay recently from a local guy for $3,000
    --3. Armor-> I think I could 'Swing' the rest here for $1,500 being new or used, or making them myself. For $1,500 I could buy all the steel or AL, welder, and pipe bender to do it myself.
    ------a. Full Plate Skids In AL for weight savings.
    ------b. HCRB with Swingout
    ------c. Sliders with wheel well bars

    That was all hypothetical. He was curious and wanted to see where my mindset was. Follow up questions were "why?" -

    To bring my family closer, to have something to pass on when the time is right. Memories are forever. Having a capable platform to build those memories is crucial. Starting a businesS?Well, building. I love making things, or improving on things. Some people take my ideas and run with them I never have the capital to expand on some of my ideas. Others have and have been successful with them. Eventually I will be there too. Until then, steady as she goes.
