But then again there are a lot more builds for me to check out over here! Personally I like them all and if I had it my way I would have a lifted 4x4, a stock height 2wd daily driver and a lowered/bagged custom for fun but the driveway and HOA aren't that kind.
Hey Dan, Your right that a gel cell battery probably wouldn't have the acid leaking problems but those darn things are expensive!! I like your idea of having multiple trucks with different attributes,,, maybe after I recover from building this one I'll build another one,,, heck I bought all the equipment,, might as well use it!!

I spent most of the summer & early fall working around the house on the honey do list as well so not much progress on my end either.
Well to be honest I'm right in the middle of hunting season,,, which I pretty much skipped last year,, thought I'd better re-fill the freezer ya know? I did manage to strip, de-rust and paint some of the frame. I also had to completely re-do the roof,,,the plastic tarp blowing in the wind rubbed through my etch primer and the roof started to surface rust. Hate doing things over.

You'd better get to work on yours,, 2 and a half feet of snow is on it's way to your area soon!!! Sorry,,,didn't mean to jinx you,,,Just hope you can get back on that big block bad boy soon!!
