Lightbulb OK, So I have a major decision to make and I need help!

ok, so I got my tax returns back the other day, and I WAS gonna buy a set of StopTech's for the Suby....but then I started thinking....I have another project that I have been saving up for, for like 3 years.....and I dunno what I wanna do now.

The other project is for my truck....not the suby. I have been saving up to put a full rock crawler 3 link (front), 5 link (rear) coil over suspension complete with a Live (solid) axle up front, fully geared -n- locked up. Here's some pics of the same setup on a Dodge Dakota....imagine this on a 2 Door Chevy Tahoe.....






what to do, what to do, oh what, oh what am I to do?!......

I emailed the Truck Place for a quote, so I guess it all comes down to that....I am expecting the truck to run me in the vicinity of $10k when all is said and done.

werd, i'd definately go with the truck. my tax return will probably go into my motorcycle, although the suby could use some wheels...

like this 2 door chevy 'crawler?



of course if you wanna build a real rock crawler, it doesnt have to be that big and get a buggy that is built up to begin with:



a local shop, www.wickedfab.com ,i ran into the guy a couple weeks ago.
