Really turned out great Brian! Hopefully you'll be driving it soon. I took my truck to a show yesterday and it got more attention than I expected. It just took some time to get there at 35mph
This was the first show for the truck since completion. We were driving home about 6:30 in the evening and a good size deer came hauling *** out of a cornfield from the passenger side. I never saw him until the left front corner of my bumper hit him in the behind and spun him around 360* and he just kept on going. If he had been a split second slower he would have hit the p/s fender or door. We dodged a bullet ( actually a deer).

I do have a 2 speed axle out of a parts truck. Have not had the time to inspect it to see if its worth installing in my truck. I need to retire!
