Was it life in general or more body or drivetrain related? I have this conversation a LOT with one of my good buddies; how far is too far? How many times do you drain the bank account, how many all night wrench fests before its not worth it? There has to be a happy medium. Was that happy medium when you were on 1/2 tons and 36's? (I think that's what you were runnin lol)

My happy medium will be the ability to grab squawk third gear, and wheel indestructably on 37s while going 1/2 or 60 mph. Havent been there yet, and I think Ive got a ways to go, haha.

I liked the CheapThrills BII when it was at that point in its build.
