I like it I do everything after the thing gets shot all the way to wrapping it and putting it int e freezer, its fun. I just bought a guitar to build up (Gibson, for 240 dollars) and yeah I plan on saving up next couple of pay checks to buy a disk brake conversion kit (There are no barkes parts in the drums lol)
4x4 Front Differential Disc Brake Kits

Jesse, you should look into upgrading that stock highboy power assist steering when you can. I got rid of mine on my highboy, it's a terrible design. If everythings solid it may work but I wouldn't hold your breath. I used a F150 steering box and "custom made" a setup. I've got about 100 bucks in it total. It's not perfect but a lot better than stock. I'm not sure how easy it would be to do a crossover steering setup on it with them knuckles, been a while since I've read much about that and don't recall.
