Yeah McFlurry has some video of the thing hopping around a bit last night. The half inch valves are super fast and super loud. And the lift we get out of the thing on a 25" dia tire is pretty awesome. Brings it almost to stock ride for a 2 wheel ranger at 80-90 psi. Now its time to remove the cab again and run some brake/fuel lines. Its starting to get there just in time to put it away for storage and give CRD his garage back for the winter. ---

Well Ive worked for the past three nights till past midnight and it finally rolls as one piece again. all the air lines are ran and valves are all wired up. Floor is finish welded underneath and undercoated. body is fully mounted and it even has the side mirrors back on. It will be towed away this weekend and put into storage for the winter. Plans for next year are to tear the whole thing back down and do a V8 swap into it. Then get it running and dragging down the road like it should. And yes it does lay the doors on the ground and yes for all those who wondered it tucks a 18 X 9 back wheel to the lug nuts. ---
