Definitely not small, weighed in at 115 lbs...but after cutting off the sheet metal and the crappy Marlin bumper I only gained about 30 lbs or so I think. Next up is making a custom spring pack out of an extra set of springs I have laying around. I got some free Rancho rs9000's from a buddy with the adjustment knob on them so I'm gunna be dialing those in as well. I think they are about an inch longer than stock as well.

How is the optima holding up? Guys around here that I've been talking to have less than glowing reviews of them. A couple of guys had their optima's burn out after a year. Still, the price is better than the odysseys by a fair bit, so if they work well, I may give one a shot.

Yeah, it was really good quality...I bought it for about 540 shipped or so if I remember correctly and I got really good use out of it for about 3 years and then sold it to a buddy for $300 and I probably could have gotten about $400 for it, it looked almost brand new besides normal wear on it, no rips or tears or anything it was tough, and convenient to take off when needed.

I'm building a swing out tire carrier and tubing for side protection, should be pretty cool, I'll update with pictures as soon as I get something picture worthy, possible thursday...it's hot working in the garage right now with 110 degree vegas weather...
