Ahhh, ok, thanks. Oh, btw, I don't have to do smog this year, so I guess I had the guy look it over for nothing for now, lol.

Best wishes on the PASS/GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! agenda, Brandon! You guys will get it, quick, and cool on the springs, btw. So,.....you guys are gonna press in the new bushings and make sure everything fits/adjust, etc.?

Ahhh, .....okayyyyyyyyy! lol. jk,... I'm sure you've researched all that. I just thought they took some decent effort, greased up, to get em in. Didn't know it was that easy. COOL, then you're pretty much good to go then, eh?

Should look pretty wicked with all 4 33's on, and can't wait to see it done, bud! Have you ever thought of putting a bed back on if you find a nice clean one for cheap? Just curious.

maybe but doubt it, I kinda like the look of the stake beds. Other than the frame gap, which is easy to fix.

Yeah, i do too. I really love Spearo's FB, ....that thing is SICK. I was just curious cuz you said "You were kind of on the fence" on it, .....and also that you were gonna paint pretty soon(summer, right?). So just wondered if that was a project in the works before painting, lol.

Ok then, well, have fun!

na, that bed will stay on there for a while. Almost impossible to find a good bed around here and if you do it's almost always 500+ range.

WOW! Down here, Pick-u-Part has em often, no rust, etc. Not sure what they charge, but I'm SURE it's not 500$. Well, if you ever decide to take a road trip, I'll help ya get one and get it on there, B! lol.

You guys gonna get pics of the spring install, before after stuffs, etc.?(just reminding ya to bring batteries! Lol)

Yeah, then you could just load it to storage on the Puter and edit it up, later.

Brandon, is that what people like ericthecarguy on youtube do, etc? They just film the whole thing through the computer and then edit out what they don't need(90% of it, lol)???

stuff is safely stowed away in my garage.....weather looks like it's going to be better than initially thought...HIGH 50, LOW 45, no rain until saturday night.

that tire is absolutely gigantic. seems weird being a 33......must be the 12.5 width.

PS....i heard that noise again.....sounded like it was moving at least twice as fast as my rear tire....maybe my diff???....U-joint??? only does it in reverse.

before another page goes by. Decided to paint the front of the wheels with flat black. Probably not gonna hold up very well, but it looks better then the rust/chome dealy.
