Re: Project Down Range.

Looking really clean. Are you going to cut a hole in the bed floor or raise the entire bed floor?

Re: Project Down Range.

Reminds me of a quote I read on a poster at one of my old jobs; "Due to economic constraints, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off"

Re: Project Down Range.

4.11's really? I took my 4.11's out because I was getting 8 to 10 MPG. maybe with the fuel injection you'll get better mileage. It definitely pulled hard off the line though.

That frame is looking awesome!
