I REALLY wanted to get some TLT stuff done this weekend also. But SHIZNIT it's nasty here in the midwest. It's not the heat it's the humidity. Try working on it early in the morning, maybe that would help?

You should check out ORUs Blazer. It has been narrowed front and rear, and has awesome tube work in the cab and the rear suspension/frame.

I priced the Jugg leaves with my LHS and they were REALLY cheap, I thought. I am saving to get a Diaz chassis to do up a leaf spring mudder/trail truck I just saw you said "FREE" budget... my bad |
