So how did the suspension do?

It did awesome, especially after I relearned how to drive my rig again.

After the Hammers run, my buddies nicknamed it the "Tarantula"

I wonder how much shipping would cost to send Don my truck to have his way with it!? Lol...dreams!

Just put on a solar panel to keep the batteries charged!!!

How much draw do you have that you'd need a solar panel?

Cool either way.

I put it on there because sometimes I'm on the road for months at a time and I also run 2 ARB Fridges and if its hot outside, they'll kill a batt. fast.

Got a Brunton 15 watt panel and the regulator to keep from over charging about $250 and 20 minutes to install.

So since I knew a guy that knows a guy. I was able to score a 07 4.0 1GRFE V6 and keep it from getting crushed a few weeks back. Originally when I got it. I was going to save for something like a 1450 race truck or a buggy build but have since then decided to swap it into my rig. Still have to get an ecu, tranny and misc other stuff before it goes in. Not to mention trying to figure out how to get the wiring harness and all that crap to work. It will probably be a while before its actually in the rig but I thought I would share some pics of the new power plant. $Beer Chug\'n$
