    Well truck drives and motor doesn't move. When I pulled the steering shaft and failed to mark the position of the top vs. the bottom and now my radio controls on the steering wheel don't work. I need to disconnect and rotate the wheel one turn back left and then pull the steering wheel and redo the wiring. When I turned lock to lock left went well but turning right I hear a crunch before reaching lock and now shit wont work..........Taco problems. But easy fix, just need to get some time to get out to the truck.

    On another good note.............[​IMG]
    Need to make my mounts and get them welded to the roof rack then wire up the thing so that I can blind those horrible people that like to slam on their brakes in front of me. :drevil::rant::brianr:

    No actually. I put in my order and had my shipping info by Tues that next week. Was yours one of the ones that had to be ordered past what he had in stock? Maybe that is the reason for the delay? What did you order?

    So.........Thanks to NYCO for setting the dates (2014 Rock Therapy) I now have a list to work on to prep the truck. Let's see what I can improve on in 5 months.

    Here is the list......
    Bed Rack (RTT carrier so I don't have to tow the Trailer)
    Skidplates
    Window Tint
    ICON Rear Shocks
    Custom leaf pack
    Extended Length Brake Lines
    2nd Optima Battery
    Dual Battery Tray
    Dual battery kit (National Luna) or (IBS)
    Wire in flashlight

    Yeah now lets see what I can get done. Just told the wife that I wanted to go and got a bit of a stink eye. Problem is that we have to go to Fresno CA for Lobster13's wedding at the beginning of the month. So it will depend on how much time I can get into my time bank at work. So we will see.

    So Rock Therapy 2014 is out for this year. :( With a buddies wedding in Cali and some new family additions the added expense to go won't happen. However did pick up a leaf pack from NYCO this week that will go on the truck. Then the truck leaves to the trailer.

    Plus some new changes for the truck are coming this summer.........suspension, racks, lights, and interior, and hopefully a dual battery setup.

    Hopefully new 14" springs for the coilovers and hopefully a set of 2.5 remote resi ICON rears. Then the leafpack that I got from NYCO is going on the truck and the truck leaves are getting blown apart and combine with another set and the current ones on the trailer to make a bit of a Frankenstein pack for the trailer.

    I may be able to help you with the coils if you can use the kings, my new ones will likely get ordered this weekend. Do you have a spring compressor for something that heavy duty?

    A 2+ kit would be awesome. You thinking the TC kit or the All Pro?
