"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "

"I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves."

I appreciate it!  I try to keep it outta the rocks...but the bed was getting so torn up I HAD to do something.  Still got some carnage on the passenger side B Pillar and halfdoor that I need to fix...

Very very nice Ryan, can't wait to see it in real life! It's been a while, you should bring it over to my new house this weekend for some  :beer: and catching up. Plus I can't bring my house over to you to show you it, so you'll have to make the long drive across town man!

Did someone say   :beer:??

I'm there dude.  I'll be out of town Fri/Sat but home on Sunday and Monday.  If the boys at Marlin sent my goodies out today, I'll be installing some new parts Monday (hopefully).  Maybe Monday afternoon?

4.7's are and my trucks is S------L------O------W!!!!!!

Gonna have to actually wheel it now, I guess :disturbed:

I've decided to shorten the front driveline to alleviate a "bottoming out" condition, so that's tomorrows project.

Also, I've discovered a couple of tiny holes in the rear axle housing (musta got a little too close with the plasma cutter) around the shock mounts/spring pads, so I'll weld those up.

Front bumper plans are still gelling, so for now I might just go ahead and install my new Warn winch in the old bumper with a few mods...
