I'm not sure about that, but I'll have a few "gifts" that you'll have to haul down.

Basic "prep" entails tearing the entire suspension off of the truck. Then rebuilding spring packs and shocks if needed, checking all welds, cleaning, WD-40ing (the frame/cage have no paint), building new spare parts and replacing every nut and bolt with new hardware. That is the jist of what was happening in those pics :mrgreen:
