OK.
So as far as TECH goes, theres alot of information on the web on how to do this and that, but really the only way to learn it is to go out and try it yourself. If your anything like me youll wanna try it yourself with as little guidance as possible. But its always good to have some sort of lifeline.
So me personally building a one ton set up thats pretty out of the box....
i chose to rely on billavista for my technical guidance.
so heres the first TECH that any offroad enthusiast should familiarize them selves with.
