That's the one you did the swap in? Real nice man. As with the rest of your garage.

Yessir!  And thank you.  Going to pick this lil guy up sometime this month and build it into something:



Already have brand new reproduction steelies and 33/10.50 BFG KO2's patiently waiting in the garage for it's arrival.

well its been about 13months and i just went to call them to have the form sent to me and they said they only return calls during tax season! 

There is not a chance this is true.  It's always tax season; between quarterly tax estimations, non-calendar based fiscal years and the like.  Keep calling.

Anybody on here work for a Santa Cruz dealer?  Met up with the factory demo yesterday and fell in love with the 27.5 Hightower.

Budget.  Budget.  Budget.  Do some forensic accounting - narrow down where every penny has gone so far in 2016.  See where you can eliminate any waste or excessive spending moving forward.  Only you can break the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck.

You have another life you're bringing into this world in just a few short months.  NOW is the time to develop a plan and the financial habits that afford you and yours the financial security you need.

Regarding your credit card debt and your credit score; how does the balance you're carrying compare to your total overall credit limit?  If you're serious about improving your credit score quickly you need to drop your balance down to under 30% of your total revolving credit limit ASAP.

Do you have any savings?  Where was this down payment going to come from?  What sort of car notes are you carrying?  Buy or lease?

Soko - you have been stacking that paper my man, great work.

Thanks man.  Trying to make hay whenever the sun is shining.  Actually going back and forth on an offer to move back to Europe, Amsterdam this time.  3 year commitment however ...

Did a bmxer make your tube bumper?

Now that you mention it ...

Some pieces back from powder coat and after what seems like an eternity the correct pitman arm has been located and installed.





Exhaust and some final plumbing and possibly ready to fire next week!

Trail pimp, you gonna have that frame blasted? That should be cool. What drivetrain are you planning for it?

Yeah. I will have my cab on that chassis mid June then I need to do shockmounts, transmission cross member, fuel cell mount, compressor mount and tank mount and bed ounts. Then I'll be pulling everything off and sending it out to get blasted and epoxy coated then build it back up again.

I'm looking at dressing down an LS motor for it.

Have an LS3 in my 72 vette and went with the connect and cruise LS3 this time in the F100.  Couldn't be simpler - 4 wire hookup with 480HP on tap.

Me gusta. I'm still amused when I come across your posts on pirate

4.56 or 4.88? Some of the desert Chevy guys run deeper than usual for more horsetorques

With the slowdown of BG, Pirate is where I kill my time nowadays.  HUGE bunch of bitches in the Ford forum there though.  Grown ass men crying like lil girls.
 
4.56's in the rear for now, actually thinking of going to 4.11's.  500hp at the crank as is ... for NOW!  Haven't even finished this and already am scoping the next build.  Friggen sickness.
