It did fire up pretty easy when he started it for me, it had been sitting for more than a couple months without being fired too.
yeah if the wheels weren't off the back of it it would drive around too 
, but as we figured out they wont fit on a broke dodge

I was actually going to say I need to go help him put the back wheels and tires back on
Of course you would have to take out the ummmmmm (junk) stuff you have piled in the cab
lol some of its out already 
Interested
Too bad you aren't closer, I'd be willing to give up my 4wd CC frame for scrap price
Closer than me!!!! Except for silver lake lol
Interested
Yeah for a tow rig a 2WD model might be better actually. It could ride better, with better mileage. Lower it a couple inches, it would look killer. The only downside is you couldn't use it to tow your rig back from the trail if it ever broke severely. But I think if you are wheeling that hardcore you'll have buddies with anyway. I'm not a huge diesel fan, but for a tow rig, a Dmax swap in a 2WD 3+3 would be the sh!t!

Ignore this thread for a couple weeks at your peril.
Tell us more about the bender. How do you like it, how much did it run - you know, a full blown review.

ITs a Speedway special, and I can't really compare it to anything else, because its the only one I've ever used, but it is predictable with a learning curve. Eric used it, so he may be able to compare to others better than I.
It seems to handle 1.75/.120 DOM fine, will do only 90* though...maybe a bit more.
I paid 400 for the bender and 1.75 die set, and 300 for the other 2 die sets. 1.5 and 1.25.
I was looking for a cheap easy bender, and it exceeds that expectation.
The only problem with it so far has been a bent bolt that holds that front tubing loop to the die. I put in a grade 8 and its been fine.
If that bolt bent again its the second time. I replaced it while doing the cage ties because it broke in the middle of a bend. I had to straighten the U clamp also. It bent great other than that. an air over hydraulic bottle jack would be a great addition though.
Thats cool. it bent pretty good though.
Its kinda sadI got about $750-800 in my model 32 from JD2, had it for a year and I've already bent more on your bender than my own. And I only made 2 bends with it

Its rediculous how much the dies cost.
