[alpha_nett]

build plans for this summer. Maximum budget $10,000:

-In a nutshell here is my summer plan:
new dual ultimate crawler box, all new suspension with new mounting probably the 6" MC's, new 3rds with ARBs and 5.29s, moving up to 37"s, 2" drive train lift to achieve flat belly, cutting out firewall and center floor to accommodate drive train lift, bob rear 13+ inches, reglass shell to fit, redo rear bumper, new front windshield(if i have time), repaint...different color???, take poser shots, break the stock birfs at Niagara Rim, switch to longfields, make it through the 'con with no issues, start saving for next summer.
