    More. It had a nice front bumper till someone didn't believe that the stock shackles on the front will Banana peel the bumpers. Why you don't hook to them for things that are really stuck.

    Simp's M816 Bringing back from the dead thread

    Well here we go with another project to add to the list of too much crap I have to do. Picked up an 816 from CSM Davis this week. Needs some work. Said to have a spun rod bearing or something in the lower end. I haven't tried to start it yet. Worse case scenario it will need an engine, but we...
