I know everyone on here knows it but Greg is very helpful and answers all your questions. He really knows his stuff. I know he can be hard to get a hold of, but I would say worth the wait. I always found that a phone call was the best way to talk to him.

Nice build thread Scott!

Thanks again for the coffee and donuts on Saturday...an unexpected treat.  Also enjoyed trading Xterra/SCCX stories, always nice.

Hope we can catch you out on the trails one of these days!

It's your fault John. Got me all jazzed up on Saturday.

The better you get to know John, the lighter your wallet becomes...and the more mods you NEED for your rig....it's strange...

Installed the gas tank skid and transfer case skid last night.

Don't think I am going to be able to use the transmission skid with the drop bracket. Not as worried about this area, since it is up higher. I would have to modify the skid quite a bit to make it fit.

The gas tank skid was the one I wanted most, luckily no problems there.

Hey...it's infectious for sure Scott!

The better you get to know John, the lighter your wallet becomes...and the more mods you NEED for your rig....it's strange...

Hey Christiaan...you did the ultimate MOD...you replaced the whole RIG!!!

Thanks John....you had a hand in making that decision as well!!!
