now for the work updates

exhaust is off
tank is drained and removed
towing bags are off
rear overload stoppers are unbolted from the frame
brake lines, wiring harness and fuel lines are unhooked from cab back

bad news:
realized the engine and trans need to be lifted 3" so they wont drag!!!

good news:
we already figured out what has to be done to make it happen

I hope it works out in the 2nd alternator position, cause I need my ac! I'm going to go and poke around and see what can be done about this......
