The short of it is get to know it, see what you have, as you plan your build. Then find out what a build is. A real build is
@Plumber1,
@toximus ,
@nicksjeep,
@DrDmoney, @ tworley and many more ....it isn't just changing stuff or seeing what the biggest tires you can put under it are .
It is knowing exactly what you want it to do , where to go , and what you need to do to accomplish that.
This is the right place for that.
