    Too many to list now.
    After I went to fastenal I went to underground and talked with nick about putting these on, convinced him to do them start to finish so don't worry about having someone put the arms on.

    This is gonna take some orchestration on our part but we NEED to do them all the same day. Perhaps a weekend. It'll have to be cash and we'll be paying most likely 150 per truck. Not bad at all to get these done. And I know you guys probably don't know nick like I do, but there is literally no one I'd rather work on my truck than him. He is so anal retentive and perfection oriented that mistakes are not made. And if they are, he's also very honest and will take care of you.

    So the stipulations for getting them all done at that price are:
    -weather permitting - we can't have soaked underbodies for welding, it's a mess
    -150 cash only
    -in order to get that price we ALL have to be in on the deal
    -we've got to organize it so we're all there the same time same day.

    In addition to this it's also a good time to do the cab mount chop. I MIGHT do mine that day but if any of you are considering it, like I said before nick does it better than anyone I've seen. It's not a hack and weld job and when he's done it looks factory. You gain a couple inches of clearance that Watson if you're considering running larger tires (like my 35's) I'd suggest you think about it. Probably run you 250-300 but web you're not rubbing anywhere at full stuff - priceless.

    so if one of us doesn't go this route, then everyone gets screwed? :(

    I found someone that I trust that was willing to do mine.

    If I'm out of town, I'll have someone else drop my truck off for the work with Nick.

    It should be fine if one or two of you drops off but I'd seriously think about who you trust, this is a permanent modification to the bones your truck. I'd want it done right. Not saying anything of the quality of others, but just sayin you know. Price goes up for us as more people drop off.

    Let me know if you drop too low.

    This guy was a welder for many years.. now turned mechanical engineer. I ahve had many conversations with him about fabricatoin and such and am confident that he knows his shit!

    I know it needs to be done right... which is why I am not attempting it :p

    When in doubt, weld it more!
