    Fancy Pants!

    BTW how do you notch your tubing when you do you fabrication? Do you have a notched as well, or do you do it the difficult way and cut them by hand and try to match up the cuts the best you can?

    Picked up the Kings from @NC15TRD over the weekend. Got the 700# springs here ready to go on. Need to take some rust remover to them just to clean them up a tad.

    Got a new battery on the way. Autocraft platinum AGM group 34. 4wp kept moving the backorder shipment date on the odyssey so I just got one at advance auto. Need to get some nice weather to turn wrenches and get stuff installed but until then :mudding: with the 2-3 feet of snow predicted for Friday and Saturday.

    Been kinda dead in here..

    Have been working on cleaning up the kings. Used WD-40 Rust Soak, expensive stuff but worked great. Dropped the shocks in a pvc tube to soak then wire wheeled them. Shock bodies got clear coated as did the resis; hose fittings and resi brackets got Glam™ silver. Swapped the 600's out to 700's this afternoon. (600's are for sale if anyone is interested)
