looks like y'all have a great group of people here, i am glad to join and share my new build i am starting, and i am sure i will be asking lots of questions.

so i bought a rolled over 2004 2500hd 4x4 6.0 truck and plan to make it a wheeling RIG, plans so far are to chop the front suspension off and sas 4 link with a superduty dana 60 hp front axle. rear plans are 4 link and shorten wheel base and frame a little.

going to remove factory t case and replace with clocking ring and a 241 C manual shift with fixed front yoke for 4 link set up.

i removed the rest of the windshield and straightened the roof back out good enough to set a new windshield in. that install went smooth for being my first windshield garage install. and cheap. purchased brand new windshield with two tubes of urethane for $55 out the door at john r glass in Madison heights mi.

You talking to me lol? I would normally just do what i want, but we're in the process of building a 40x60 shop on the 40 acres we just bought, and in the spring we're starting to build our 3000 sq ft house, so spending 20k on a toy isn't going to happen right now. I'm going to try to get weights dialed in, and get my shocks, springs, and air bumps. Build the frame and cage, then the plan is to build my axles.
