    First part is to restore the CM back to OEM using parts from the DC so that I can sell it and pay off the loan. Gotta get the dents on the cab repaired and possibly repaint.

    I also have to take apart the DC, chop off the crossmember for the drop bracket lift, then use the chopped off piece to weld onto the CM.

    $30k would be nice, doubt it though. 2016 with under 90k miles.

    Taking the back seat and storage bin (do DCs all come with storage bins?) out. What's a good price for black leather seats?

    And so it begins. I removed the back seats and put the bolts back in their hole but still managed to end up with an extra bolt :confused:

    This ad reads differently for me. It says "Hey you other FGTs! Come to NorCal and run the Rubicon with Cruz. If I can do it, so can you!" :p

    Divert them to a nearby UPS store then bring them home and hide them when she's not looking.

    Didn’t know UPS has a delivery map that shows where the truck is with your package like Amazon. So I kept stalling the :ballchain: from going to the grocery store until the truck was close by :rofl: She left and the truck came. Timing was executed like a movie heist :D
