    Sounds like you're so close to the finish line... then "something" will creep up or he'll say lets do this add-on etc. etc. etc...

    Some town cops here in MA would have a field day with those tires sticking out like that... LOL.. I hope you can complete it (and get paid!) and it's gone for at least the summer!

    Here's a funny deal. Yesterday he was driving the truck around town and the local police pulled him over. The officer asked why he was driving all over town. Blake explained he just had me build it and he was driving it around trying to get used to it. The officer really liked it and was surprised how clean it was. He never said anything about the lift, tires, etc. That surprised me. Haha

    I do hope it will be gone and have no issues. It was such a pain, and we had so many issues, I was really nervous about it. Blake said yesterday it cranked long the first time he started it in the afternoon. This morning, it popped right off. That's good news. Just have to finish some cosmetic stuff for him, install his stacks, install some traction bars, complete the vacuum system, and charge the AC. The belt makes weird noises so I need to call ATI and see if it needs a different sized idler some where. But this is minuscule compared to a few weeks ago.
