I have to sell the 86 to afford the Lightning and so I dont have to pay for 2 insurances. Wish I didnt have to. I love that truck. Yea I got the Lightning yesterday. Its sooo nice.

I left my camera at my uncles during Christmas so these old pics will have to do for now.

Nice lightning. You are on the young side aren't ya, I imagine your insurance would go up substantially for that thing. Probably best you lose the 2nd vehicle to save some cash.

Tell you the truth I haven't even looked into insurance for it yet

Sure it will be quite a bit more then the $70 a month for my 86.

You don't have to notch the frame but I would. I only have like 2 inches before the axle tube hits the frame. No issues with the kit, I love it. Wanting to order the 3/4 kit for my Lightning now.
