| Just a quick update on my planned build, I will not have to lengthen the frame. I will have LED lights, a smoke stack, Winch, brush guard, and new seat. My estimated cost for the build is about 7k to 8k, my plan is to get a brand new engine from Kohler built to how i want it. | |

| Not enough. I wonder why so many people don't finish, maybe they underestimated what they were doing, forgot about it, or maybe they did finish but just didn't post them? | |

| Life tends to get in the way, things don’t go as planned. Parts you thought would work don’t, budget runs out, wife gets involved on said budget, etc | |

| We had a transmission we were gonna use but the gears were messed up from sitting with water in it. We didn’t have the budget for a new trans so the project died | |

| I never set a budget, but I am sure I blew it all to hell . I had to deal with back problems, work and lost interest a few times. I need the full build time( plus and extra week). I don't think I would have planned such a sophisticated build with a shorter timeline... but I didn't see it taking this long either | |

There were a lot of those this year. and Tater, you had your back issues pull you down. You did give a good run at the end until your back kicked in again. I hope not too bad. - Doug wrote:

Why yes you did! | |

| To be fair the turnout has been on-par with previous years. 6 out of 24 is still a quarter of people.
Havent done much in terms of planning for 2018 but its year 5 so there may be some extra incentive, who knows. Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

| 3rd time this year for this cr@p. I get to spend more time on the couch, beer and muscle relaxers and sleep alot for the next 2 or 3 weeks. Taking it easy only sucks when you have sh!t you need to get done. We have a hot tub now. That should speed it up. Cold weather and tight muscles dont mix though. | |

| Tatar, I recently put in a hot tub too because my back acts up (not as bad as yours) and my knees, ankles and feet ache a lot too but after a 15 minute soak in the tub I feel like butter. Then I do some stretching afterwards which is really important . At work we have an inversion table that I can hang upside down on which kind of helps my back. Doug, ooooo don’t tempt me with extra incentive next year | |

| I think i did most of my build in 3 months... but it got strung out over 9 because it always felt like I had alot of time left to get it done. The sprint at the end is what killed me. | |
