gota luv carnage pics...

looking forward to seeing the completed unit..

p.s. if u get selected to the 4Wheeler top-truck comp, will ur truck be ready for the show ?
I leased a place that I have to be out of by the end of the month to do the fab work. I was panicing wondering if the Comp was in April. I found out last night that all votes are due by Mrch 31st and the Comp is the first week of June. I'll be ready April 1st so that gives me some good seat time to prepare. I'm not taking it to Hollister before the event though. I don't want any whining about me having an unfair advantage.

I hope I make it. If I do I'll do my best to put on a show. Getting her ready either way and make some serious changes to bulletproof some stuff.

That's awsome! I never seen how large the wheel bearings are on the Rockies, look as big as the stuff I see on OTR trucks!
