AWESOME!!! As you were backing it up, I was thinking to myself that you need to spin out. A few seconds later your back end spins a little. I was cracking up.

Great video, thanks for posting. That had to be a blast. I can't wait until I can do that.

Hey 54,
I didn't see that little guy tucked away in there
until you went down the driveway. What did he think of that ride?
What color are going to paint it?

Looking good up there in Ft. Worth!

Thanks guys.

Joe- the little chip was unintentional but I may be to blame for the second.
Jimmy- it got hot today. Gota get a tan before I hit the beach (water park) so sorry for the bright leg glare.
Ross- I tried a little body work a few years back. Need to fix that crap
Ben- O he was all about it. Every time I see your truck I know what color I'm painting mine (beautiful choice you made) then go back to the other colors (John Deere blitz black, White, or *Original (dark green).

Looking good. You have a nice build going.
Noticed you put a slight tire mark on the drive as you pulled in and out. My did the same thing the first time I pulled her out, I used a tape from the frame rail to the tire to get the toe setting closer till I went for a alignment.

Thanks Topmoo.

Jack-Yea, I have a bad alignment problem. I saw as I drove it that it settled down in the front an inch or two. Didn't expect that because that caused my camber to get out of wack. I tightened all the upper A arm bolts (which were not that tight). I also needed to adjust the tie rods out, then in, then out. This is all exciting though. I like the idea of tape.
