    Well the test drive went well on Friday. I didn't push it too hard and put about 5 miles on it. The full manual control of the auto is pretty sweet. I even threw the plates on ha ha.

    Just a few little things to wrap up over the next few weeks.

    Well Jambo 2017 is in the books and the Shakedown went better than expected.

    All the new additions seem to be worth it. My wheeling buddy for the weekend.

    Just got my tom woods cv shaft. Ordered on Thursday shipped Friday. Talk about fast!
    Still waiting for my damn coils. I called PAC and they said they got em back from powder so should have shipped this Monday. So hopefully I'll have em this week.
    Then a bunch of little bullshit and I'll be ready. I'm thinking hidden falls some weekend for a shakedown and then Labor Day we're doing tree's ranch. It'd be cool if you wanna do either or both:thumbsup:

    Well the truck is prepped to hopefully get some wheeling in the next month or so. Looking at finally buying my own car hauler currently.. and maybe some Stickies.

    I'm kicking around doing a back half, 4 link and a 1UZ at the moment. That will be a ways down the road though.

    I really don't want to have to compromise the rear 4 link due to the rear frame. My buddy Dave has volunteered to design and build the backhalf.....so I just need to save up my pennies.

    I just need for work to slow down a bit so I can get some wheeling in.

    Let me get my trailer situation figured out. I hate having to borrow one all the time.
