Its cool you konw how people get on chucks and it can turn in to a s#!+ storm real quick thats why i like this site better

No dought i understand. But i had no right to talk about your truck as far as a match up ive never pulled against you. How ever if u go back and re read what was on trucks that guy wanted to challange your truck against Cliffs or something for that matter. IIRC he made the comment that cliff will out pull you win in a races and yatta yatta yatta. That why i posted them vidoe's of him getting beat buy a truck that a DD And you notice him say well if cliff wants to built a bad truck he will. I understand that but then he is wanting to take an all out pull truck and match it against a DD its like matching a stock diesel against a top fuel drag car

The SAS is going to happen on the 2000 CHUM soon. The way ahead is plan is an SAS on the 2008 DMAX. Both will get a D60.

The 205 won't hold-up behind a near stock 24 Valve? I'm out $0 on the 205 but if I have to switch trans/x-case. She might see a notch and drag radials instead of a D60.

I think the 205 will be just fine behind a diesel. I think that offroad unlimited put a divorced one in a 2wd to 4wd sas conversion, Black CC duramax with 35s in diesel power a while back. JMO though.

The truck is still unfinshed as u can see the rear sits 6 inchs lower then the front. I gotta get bigger leaf springs. And get my traction bars made up. Also gotta mount my tcase and build my driveshafts. more pics to come when its fully finished

I hope to be hitting the road with it tommorw. I thought i would be driving it tonight but i ended up have more obsticles thrown my way with the truck. I must say it was a major experiment and a huge learning curb for me. Hope to be putting my front 60 in within the next 6 months or so. I gotta get this thing ready for the mud holes:D
