    I would totally be down for that, I am off on Thurs/Fridays though. I think I have one Saturday off in March, so if you think we could knock it out during a Friday night and Saturday we should set something up.

    Seems like with some fab skills and a trailer axle one could be built fairly easily. Registration and insurance probably are tricky. The crap that is on the road here, I imagine they will register anything.

    ya i didnt really have a plan on what i wanted when i bought it other than to move my dirtbike around and fire wood. well it evolved quickly and now its a dang hotel, but girls love to camp with me now. registration was easy because it was military and i had the correct paperwork.
    if i were to make another one it wold be from scratch.

    Let me know the Saturday you have off. We should be able to bang it out in a day if we have all the right tools, easy.


    Slut. You say that about every state. :D

    I believe it is the 12th. It is the preliminary schedule right now though. I will keep you updated once it actually post. I have just the basic set of tools nothing fancy. Not sure what you all have.

    If you were willing to drive I may have a shop to use down here. I would have to check. You get the coil-overs pre-assembled?

    It'll get there. Working on getting the fix in motion already. Working on it now as we speak in fact!

    Driving doesn't hurt me! Coil-overs are pre-assembled. Just need to order extended rear brake lines and adjustable panhard.
