and any update on those tires from treadwritght?

I am getting my plates through the state of Maryland, and I can't get new tires till I have some more $$ (just had my 3rd kid so cash it tight until Jan). The turret is going to be for show only, I will be able to put it on for a car show and then take it off for the ride home.

I was at a U of A party this weekend, and I was in the basement looking for brains, And I found a movie called Zombie Strippers, So, I borrowed it from them. One of the dumbest movies out there? heres the IMDB > http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0960890/

None the less. How heavy is herculiner? I was thinking of throwing a layer on my tent trailers me and my friends use for weekend getaways lol

The liner wasn't too heavy, Id'e say about 10 to 15 lbs a gal.

I love that truck but Those wheels look like a rough ride to me.

Sadly my friend has dropped off the face of the earth, no contact what-so-ever, and mine is back in my possession and am not getting a new rig....yet

But....all ball joints have been replaced, so it rides smoother and will sell for more, and now the only thing wrong is the Trans and I still don't have the money to get it rebuilt.

Hopefully Texplorer keeps his X a little longer, cuz I have another potential buyer offering $3200, even with the blown trans!!! Can't wait I hope he's legit!!!!

YES!!! It's perfect Stripe! And a Ranger will come in handy cuz it has more cargo room and could also b a transport for survivors.

With some work it could be a ZAPV...

Idea on the ranger, if you do turn it into a ZAPV, do a full bed cage with "armor"
