Or just ask sharx to borrow it. He MIGHT let you, if you give him some collateral.

hehehe not a problem...however if you recall I just upgraded to the "Hot Box" and had to drive stock for a week...it almost killed me...its about time to get a rep somewhere other than here, everyone knows my truck now and it makes it very hard to play Handling is great, the problem is over 100 and it feels like its going to lift off, not that Id ever drive it that fast...I think I read that some place...yeah thats the ticket

Kind of funny what some people think their lil gassers can do. My boss just got a new toyota tundra 5.7, this guy told me that his truck makes mine look like tinfoil and challenged me to a pulloff. I told him I have a brand new towstrap under the back seat and lets do it right now.. Needless to say it never happened.. big mouth,small truck! lol

The other thing that would kill him, is that Ford's LSD unit SUCKS! It breaks away at like 120 lb/ft of difference between the two tires. It would be more accurate to call it a "limited traction" rather than a "limited slip".

Now the one in the AAM 11.5's is awesome IMHO. It's built nearly identical to a Detroit TrueTrac and is pretty stout with tires up to 35's.

Another thing is that you'd have a lot higher ground pressure on the front axle than him. That extra 500 lbs of engine weight will play a huge difference once the tension is on the chain / strap.

Everytime I saw this guy I'd be riding him and wouldn't say anything to him other than,"Put up or shut up". Everytime I saw him it would be the same thing until he finally breaks down. Then give him the Parking Lot Express in the rearview mirror.
