    My understanding is that it's easy on 1st gens because everything just bolts up. IIRC on 2nd gens it requires some fabrication as the front crossmember is different so there's no where to bolt up the front diff.

    ^^^^ you guys :D


    I don't know much about 2nd gen conversions but either way there is always going to be headaches involved. The question is it worth it to you. For me it was one hell of a project but now that it is done. Way worth it.

    I seen a write up some where on someone doing a conversion on a 2nd gen but I don't know where. It was a while ago when I was doing research. Oh and a lot of your time is going to be needed. Good luck!

    Today's asshole on an airplane is the guy sitting directly behind me who has shuffled his deck of cards as loudly as possible about 600 times so far on the tray attached to the back of my seat... This plane has wifi, why are you playing with cards!? Jerk

    Yeah I fly a lot and the noise canceling headphones are worth the money. But it still does not stop a small child from kicking my seat. But don't say a word them or Homeland security will be escorting you off the plane. :D

    This is why I really don't miss flying; I'm just barely old enough to remember flying before 9/11. Quite a different and more fun experience!

    The flight I was just on as I was walking through security getting my things, I saw a very upset older gentlemen yelling at the TSA agent because he was not allowed to take his ratchet wrench on the plane. After it all the TSA agent says "have a nice day" and he replied with "no! I won't have a nice day cuz you just ruined it!" Then she tosses it in a bin and he yells "don't throw that around you jerk!"
    Haha.

    I went through Security, at 5am one morning for work, and forgot I had my ZT0350 in my pocket... As I emptied my pockets in to my back-pack.

    The TSA agent said, "you do realize you can't bring a knife this big on a plane?!"

    The first thing came to mind was to say, "I don't expect you to allow any knives on the plane! I'm really sorry."

    They were cool about it, I jumped out of security and put the knife in my truck. They told me as I went back through that people forget they have their EDCs and CCWs a couple times a week.
