Don't know, I can;t get on facebook here at work on my work computer. He would have to post them here or email them for me to see it. But Im pretty sure he only has one big tan Ramcharger there, So i would assume it  is.

A doubler and steering box brace for the frame.

Some cool stuff in the works. Couldn't tell what color the top of the truck was from underneath. :tongue3:

No, I did that on the M880 and still need to work on that. I think on the RC I will do a shackle flip and Longer springs.

Well Noah and I got a good bit done this time around.
Steering
Zero Rate blocks
Dual Exhaust
Tcase bushing
clutch pedals
wireing is started

Making progress. We also did all the suspension on Noahs truck. We are both making great progress but who knows when they will be ready to go  ::)

After letting my project sit for six years, if I'd known it was gonna take this long to get it to where it is now... I'd of let it sit six MORE years...  :tongue3:

Wow, 6 years is a long time to not drive your rig.  It's gotta be killing you.  Mine has been for 2 years and I'm getting the itch.   :steeringwheel:

@ Noah and Eric, great job guys  :13:

Well, considering I TEST DROVE my first Ramcharger from a dealer in 1987... and it took TWENTY years after that to GET the truck... then sitting 6 years, and now another 18 mos. in shops... yeah - I guess I am getting a LITTLE antsy!!!!   :confused2:

I've put all of 50 miles on it, since it passed inspection a year ago.  And now that I have the perfomance ECU, I gotta drive all the old CHEAP gas out of it, and refill it with PREMIUM... so I should TRIPLE my miles on it right away, whenever I finally get it back!!!  :dontknow:
