Nice punisher in the dash... I love it!

Need more details... 350? What else do you have planned for this beast? Looking good so far.

Any plans for that John Deere rider too? Hehe... sorry im a small gas engine tech.

Still trying to figure out what I want to do with the suspension.

What needs to be done:
  • Registration.
  • Insurance..
  • Rear shocks
  • Y-pipe
  • Inspection
  • Need to cover the bed area with something. (Rubber bedliner or spray/rollon)
  • and the summer TPI swap
  • >>>This list will be growing longer as I think of things.
