Thanks Mini

I actually might have to compromise between the FJ80 axle or a new set of tires.. I don't have as much debt this summer, but I still don't think I'll be able to pull everything off

1. Rewire the whole thing
2. Make a fuel cell
3. Plumb the fuel and oil lines
4. Make a flat bed
5. Make new seat brackets and install the "new" seats I've had for a year

1. Win lottery
2. It'll fall into place since I won't have to work.
3.

sorry, I couldn't resist

In reality, to make MCR5 I would need:
Lift
Tires/wheels
swap gears from my wreck
new sliders at the least

it'd be tough, but I could make it like that.

1. Buy Truck
2.

3. Chevy's/rears up front
4. Buy trailer
5. Show up for MCR6!!!
