I'll be there most of the day tomorrow doing my own thing. As soon as I'm done though, I'm sure I'll lend a hand as Jen's going out with friends.

yupp its all together and a good 6in taller. I can see the top of my diff and the very bottom of my a-arm spacer sitting under load.

i realized the yeti test is good for up to 42 gallons of gas, thats twice the capacity of my tank.
No floor board or filler tube protection yet, that will get finished weds ish. I'll snap some pics when the light returns in the morning.

For everybody that helped in anyway, even if it was just keepin me from flippin out a big thank you!

LOL Georgia...you should rent him out for life-cycle stress testing...sort of like gorilla on the old Sampsonite commercials from the early 80s.
