I know that leaves a whole year but I will be testing in the next two weeks and will have pics and video to prove it. Jon at CastleFab finished up the little stuff I needed this past week. He put stops in the ram to limit the throw as to not rip the steering box off the frame. He mounted the mini fenders for me, changed the resi fittings on the rear coilovers and reinstalled my bypass shocks I got back from FOX. Mini fenders go to paint Monday and a windshield should follow next week and then testing. Here is a picture with the mini fender mounted by the bolts, the hood hinges had already been removed, and some misc pics I took of it before it went to CastleFab after we mounted up the new Nittos.

Cant test without a steering box. Still waiting to hear back on that thing. Once I have that back I will be heading out to test. Klaus and Curtis will be joining me to make sure we have video of it.
