Lot's of stuff going on the car... so I need to get my ass off here and get started! I'll be updating later with more pics. Here's a couple for now.

That's actually my girlfriend's parents garage. Yup, they do take offroading seriously! They have currently:

Yamaha Warrior 400
Yamaha YFZ450
Yahama Rapter 660
'87 Honda 250R with a 350 motor in it
2 Polaris Scramblers for guests who don't know how to ride (fully automatic, 4 wheel drive, and electric start).

Those are the quads. For trucks they have:

2003 Ford F150 - stock.
199ish Dodge 3/4 ton. V10, lifted, 35 in. tires, lockers, etc.
1993 Silverado 1500, 6 inch lift, 35 in. tires.
1990 Jeep Wrangler with a Chevy 350, Ford 8.8 rear end, lifted of course, 35 in. tires, and some other goodies. This one is a BLAST to take out in the dunes.

If you can't tell already..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) the calipers, brakets, and rotors are getting a POR-15 treatment. This is primarely what has been setting me back. Stupid me didn't realize just how much prep is needed and how much time they need to dry between coats (4 hours). I figured I'd have all the prepping and painting done in 2 hours. Not even close. But it's ok. Almost everything is done except getting the parts painted and put back on the car, and then flushing the brake fluid. Will definetly be done tomorrow.
