the rockwells are pretty popular. i am always behind the times. i guess it takes me to long to finish a project. i had 3/4 ton when everyone else had 1 ton. when i got 1 ton all my buddies had 2.5 ton. now that i am close on finishing my 2.5 ton truck, my friends are running 5 ton rockwells.

i wanted to list a few of the builders around and a couple of sites that my buddies are on regulary.
