    First 2 days you're pretty much up for 48 hours, make your one phone call letting your parents or whomever you choose to tell them that you've arrived safely and whatever else for the 2 minutes they give you. Shaving your head, packing all the goodies that you'll need for the next 2 months, and yelling at you for a little bit. Hardest part is staying awake IMO. I'm not sure how they do it now since that was 6 years ago. From what I hear it got pretty lax and it's even more of a joke. You'll be spending a lot of that time folding your clothes in a specific way and marching. It's stupid. You'll make it through.

    Stock set up. no.

    If you weld a mount to the frame and a mount to the axle you can do it no problem. Travel might be an issue though.

    Ya it's a thing. But it takes some work.
    We have coils and shocks so you just combine them for ultimate performance. Plus a bed cage through the floor.

    Yes, but there isn't a kit available for us driverside drop transfer-cases. So you would have to build your own setup.

    Nothing comes close to a drum brake for strength on an E brake

    I hope they do. I'm a bit older so I understand more. But I could see some 18 year old with no life experience shit themselves.

    If all goes as planned my job will be called Aircraft Structural Maintenance; basically if a plane gets shot up/broken I'll have to fix it.
