well it was an originally a diesel 3/4 ton. its been switched over to one ton suspension, at some point someone put in a t.b.i 350 with a 700r4. its got aftermarket lowers on the front and a not so good two link with bags on the bars out back. engine driven compressor, 5 gallon tank, 8 valves, 10 switches. the interior looks as if someone pulled everything out of a suburban and swapped it over. (i'm guessing that's where the motor came from). i was gonna see if anyone had any pictures of these squares with a four link out back. just looking for some bar lengths and set up ideas. i'm not opposed to the two link but i definitly need to add a pan hard bar if it stays, but i'd rather just put a four link in and be done.
little garage info for those who care. its just a hair under 1200 sq feet and there's enough room that i can stuff my daily in there during the winter if need be. i'm just glad the dually fit in there and there's still room to get around it.

i don't know where you're in relation to columbus big bear but i've got a cousin over there. not much of an update but i did get some of the wiring under the hood gone through and cleaned up. lets just say there's lots of butt plugs and masking tape everywhere. maybe i can get some pictures up in a little bit. have you checked out ? there's some garages/shops that i could only dream of having, plus there's some really nice stuff tucked away inside of them as well
