Seems you both could lighten up a little on the assumptions as well.

There's are thousands of different ways to build a 'nice' vehicle. If someone happens to mention 'ways it could be better' it's from their perspective which has as much value as yours (high & low). Maybe the people that say these things can actually build a better ride vs you. I suppose you guys could be pros compared to me but I know & will acknowledge there are better builders than what I've put together. You can take something from what they said & make an improvement or you can ignore it. Simple as that.

If I stopped going to shows or gatherings because of some guy walking by my dually & saying how it's ruined because of how low it is.... Well, I would have a dually missing a bunch of opportunities.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
