Personally I like the one from Front Range Offroad. If you want to make it yourself, it look easy to duplicate to your specs.   |

 so i ordered all this on monday. on monday the 4.7 gear set cost 349. today trail gear decided they wanted to put them on sale for 249. i am definately a little irate  . i called trail gear to see if there was anything they could do. i just thought it kind of sucked cause ive spent a lot of money there and am going to be spending a lot more. im pretty much getting everyhting for my truck from there. it would have been nice to catch some kind of a break. dont want my money back, 100 bucks off next time i order soemthign would be cool.  but i understand if they dont hook it up. ill still give them my business. so after calling a couple of times and talking to a few different people i finally got a straight answer. no dice  . they said that they could not honor that kind of a discount. i also asked about a military discount and really didnt get a straight answer about that one either. i guess its on a case by case basis depending on how long ive been a customer and how much ive spent. i guess im just a little but hurt at TG right now.  ill get over it. |

kevin and ted gave me a hand the other day in pulling the gas tank. got rewarded with exacatly 5 gal of gas. started to hack up the back of the truck. think i've pretty much got it how i want it. i have to find my camera so i can take some pics and ill show you. but im essentially cutting out all of the rear except the bed/ im gonna cut that even with the frame. the sides ad wheel wells are going to get cut off to right behind where the rear seat will be. also got the ceramic clutch in. i left the pressure plate all nice and shiny so i can still have some bling. dont think ill get the cuttin done by the time we head up north to go camping on friday. but im hoping to have some picture of it up,
