Did a little towing today, about 5000lbs. Towed great. The heavy duty Terra Firma springs did pretty well.

I wish it was my house! I picked it up for my brother. Probably better that way, I can use it and not clean it or pay for it. Lol

Looks good Jeff! You need to market that mod. One mod for the AC mount area and one for the ACE mount area.

Hot tubs are lighter if you drain the water first

Haha, sorry to disappoint, but I'm not going to be making a kit for it. It's pretty easy and doesn't require any special work:

0. Delete a/c compressor!
1. Cut plugs off harness
2. Solder in 16 AWG extension wires
3. Wrap bundles in vinyl tape, then wrap again in Tesa engine harness tape
4. Zip tie extensions to fuel rail
5. Cut a suitable piece of aluminum sheet with a jigsaw, drill holes in sheet to match a/c bracket
6. Use L-brackets affix coil packs to the plate
7. Get suitable spark plug wires
Done!!
