I think you should go with a bigger tire the one in the picture looks a little small! Just kidding, looks great Mike. I like the ford parts too .

So changed my plans abit.
Motor = 5.3L vortec
Trans = TH350
Stock engine has more hp and is alot cheaper to build up
Order my axles, suspension joints, trans kit and some others today. They all should be in in 2 weeks

Hmm...

What axles are you going with?

Going with an older or newer model 5.3L?

Are you still interested in helping me out with curring those designs into my corner guards? It won't be possible to do the rockers :(

Ya I can't wait to get back out on the trails. But atleast it seams like a good time to be building, lots of stuff is on sale. Just picked up a set of ORI's
