    hey man, yeah im still on here an kicking, and tyler is right i got rid of my OBS for basically what id call my dream truck. took a huge loss on all i had invested but it was time for something new. its been a couple years since i did my swap but im sure i would remember most of it, the only shady parts is the wiring not sure i would remember it all but nelson's harness works great. but yes i did all the work myself and it still cost me a fortune but i tell you what that OBS is well known in my area for being a pretty nasty truck haha so im proud to say i built it even if i dont own it. i had about 9 grand into the swap when i was done but i was extremely meticulous and built it over a year and a half..The RST 6.0 is going to be much faster than the OBS when its done.

    Yeah, I don't doubt you had a ton of money and time into that truck, that was definitely one of my favorite OBS's around. Can't blame you for upgrading to the RST though, I love the interior of those trucks, good luck with the build! I'm sure if I do end up doing mine, I'll have a bunch of questions to ask.

That way you would get the most value out of the truck and then sell it for $4k-$5k when you are done with it.
    Thanks for all the help, Tyler. No matter how much people may bag on you, you've given input when everyone else ignores, I appreciate that!
