Congrats on the grooms cake and getting hitched. My marriage started with something similar and I have to say that it is a good omen! My only advice is to spend at least a week in Moab each year to keep the marriage happy...secret to our success 
Truck is coming along nicely as well!

Rot Box, I'm going to be bugging you for pics of your A/C setup in a few months...
I have most of the parts, but no clue where they go.

My AC works great! between the rust holes in the floor boards, the leaking back window--non existent weather stripping and the extra holes in the firewall it works great in January and February but July and August are a whole other story!
I had a parts truck once upon a time with working AC. Stupid me for ever getting rid of all the parts--I wish I had it now

Hey Brandon, what's next to do on the truck? Oh, I also have a clutch with 80% left, and a flywheel. I'll throw those in when you come pick up the tranny (if you want them that is).
The front suspension,knuckles, steering, and axle... I am torn though because I dont have the money for longfields right now and I am rebuilding the front axle and feel its kinda dumb to put the weak links back in "Birfields" so trying to figure out what to do with that.

talk to panos, he found a cheap way to do it without much breakage. He just ran stock shafts with an upgraded birf, and hub gears. He was on 37's.

Yeah, panos was just running TG's hub eliminator and the stronger than stock birfs. He said the next weak link was the short shaft, and he just carried short shaft spares. They're really quick to change on the trail, and they're easy to find. He only broke one a year on 37's locked front and rear. That would be the economical way to do it.
It'll be nice when you get longfields though. Then you won't have that nagging worry in the back of your mind.

I'll race you Brandon. Let's see who can get their truck done first. You gotta try and make it out to my maiden voyage run on Sept 10th.
