    haha Yep... Fixed the carb issue and it's not running rich anymore since I adjusted the timing belt 15 degrees. It might be up to the task, Tom! Will see if I can make up some super light weight skids from scraps and maybe make a small spacer lift for the front end.

    I don't know much about that trail, Tom, is it pretty difficult or mostly just scenic?

    I'm not gonna lie..I'm a bit proud of this idea..and also shocked none of us thought of it before...

    But seriously could work. Should be somewhere you could park it..I'm sure you have lots of taco friends that have room...(come on guys!! Save the dragon!!)

    But fuck ya. Links here we come!!! :cool:

    Have to ask Max. Your clearance is so low that skid plates won't matter much. You need more of a bulldozer blade for the front bumper. ;)

    Hit me up anytime for the workout stuff. You can even come over for a taste testing depending on what I have on hand.

    I mean..lets see..

    Eibach and 5100s..easy sale
    Front diff..easy sale
    UCAs and LCAs..good sell

    Steering rack..good sale
    Cvs..easy
    Hubs..you bet


    Rear axle(assuming you go rear links too..which..come on..yes) easy sell
    Leafs..easy again..well..maybe..

    Rear shocks..also easy(profit too! :p)

    Assuming you keep the 37s unless you go 40s..easy to sell as well.

    Front bumper? For custom one?

    Lot of money there.

    Front bumper would definitely go as well. I've never really liked how big it is and the approach angle isn't amazing... For cheap, though, since it is bent and trimmed a bit. :laugh:
