Funny thing is that opinions are like a--holes, everyone has one. You need to decide where you want the truck to end up at and work towards that instead of trying to jump in over your head and tread water. I, like most on here have spent many years building up our vehicles bit by bit and enjoying them as we go. My current rig took a year and a half to build but I was still wheelin the pee out of my old one that went through too many changes to list.
