this body work sux major you know what..... i had to fix the brand new driver side fender that came in with a dent, had to fix the brand new 04 hood that came in dented (for my danger ranger) and had to fix that white hood the fiberglass busted on the front lip ...... that is the thing i hate most, bodywork..... painting to me is a piece of cake....

HUGE update. i actually drove the truck to town today. put in a new radiator, got everything painted and installed. still haven't put on the fender flairs and inner fenders yet..... got the front end aligned and they had to order some camber adjusters cause they couldn't get quite enough out of the stock stuff.... the toe is good now and it pulls ever so slightly to the right instead of hard to the left...... here is some crappy pics cause i forgot to take them in the daylight

still gotta pull the steering column out and replace it and the steering wheel and airbag since it broke in the accident and pull the airbag light out of the dash since they are inoperable as of now.....

i have 30x9.50's on it now.... i believe i could go with 31x10.5's with the right wheels. but right now $120 for one tire is a lot cheaper then 4 and 4 wheels and spindles..... bit i could prolly turn up the torsion bars and get enough lift out of it....

would have been sooner if i didn't have to work.... i prolly could have had it fixed in 2 weeks..... i have painted a car in 2 1/2 days start to finish, sanded off all the peeling clearcoat, minor body work, sand whole car, full primer, 1 night, sand, base, clear coat, next night, roll it out of the shop the next day and let it bake in the sun and un-tape it, black out door jams....
