This is coming together very good Cody, glad to see you making so much progress so quickly. When you do the motor pull can you do me a favor and take a butt load of pictures so the amature inside of me can calm down a little about pulling my motor next month haha. I read your write-up about the engine harness, so that will become handy and I also read Jim's write-up about pulling the motor and that will be handy to but I'd like to see some in depth pictures to kind of show a timeline progress or the more intrecate parts of it.

I was talking about Rockee. Those are Goodyear 235/85/16 Duratrac's.

Richard, I'll do the best I can on pics.

Travis, the plan was to work tonight after midnight. But I got called into work. So I have to work OT tonight. I'm going in at 10.

hahaha exactly Travis. And it wouldnt be as bad if I had another vehicle to drive around if I effed somthing up.... but I don't haha. But that would be great if you could, but again don't go out of your way to do it. When it comes down to it I'll pull it with or without them, so it just a luxary.

Steve, you didn't interupt the truck building, you interupted the bringing home of our new to us deck boat from the wife's grandmother. LOL I'm sorry I couldn't provide the answer you needed. Jim actually got back to me later, but by then, the day had already went to hell, and I wasn't thinkin' about your injector anymore. Sorry man. But I do have the info on that tool now if you need it. Jim sent me a link.

Cuz then you can hang a sheet load of weight way out front where you really need it.
