    Anyone just never have time to install parts?

    I pretty much have everything I need for a full build laying around the house, just never have the time to actually get it done.

    Some of these parts have been around for 5 years, literally.

    I know @Spare Parts sympathizes with me.

    That ARB compressor is at least 5 or 6 years old.

    That ADS setup has been laying around since November.

    I could see how this could happen, especially through a winter without a heated place to work. I usually try to only get 1 or two projects ahead with my parts supply.
    That, my friend, is a lot of parts!!

    I have a couple items that have been lying around for, well, years now that I haven't installed. Nothing too big though. One is my bed extender and the other is my water hose/pump setup. My additional automatic trans cooler was becoming one of these items, but I just ended up paying my mechanic to do it. My other items require custom working and re-working.

    Would you be willing to pay someone to just install them?

    I think I'm gonna have someone install the ADS setup.

    I have a mobtown bumper coming in a few weeks and i have nowhere to store it.

    I'm forced to install the lift.

    That being said, I'm working from home due to all this Corona stuff.

    I'm going to have to work on that pile of parts.

    How about just hiring a good shop to install it all? I'll assume that if you have the cash to just buy and store stuff you have the cash to pay someone to bolt it all on.
