    exactly. pretty big differance from running a perimeter cage with stock parts... or running a perimiter cage with swapping in a wider axle, notching the frame, and maybe having to run a cell :rolleyes:

    I know you're young and pouring your heart and hardwork into this truck, but don't forget your need for basic transportation from point A to point B. What I'm saying is, make sure you have enough money that when something breaks (or worse) that you can still get to work/school on Monday.

    A couple grand can cover most breakages/repairs associated with LT, and in the worst case scenario could buy you a beater car.

    We've all been there, it's part of the game. Building the truck is just the "buy in" price.
