Now that I have my trucks and my tools, Its time to do some work. I turned my truck over to my good friend, Shawn. As of today he is swapping the motor, re-installing the transmission, brake lines, fuel lines, trans lines, painting the motor and firewall, and many other misc. things. I will post pictures of his progress shortly.
As for my trucks, I started with the Durango. I need to "part it out", which means that you take the entire vehicle apart and sell individual parts. Here is the Before Picture.
A good friend, Kyle, and I began to dissassemble the vehicle Thursday night. We got the entire interior out, the glass out, and the doors off; leaving us this. 
This morning we picked up where we left off. We decedided that the frame and the body needed to be separated. Which is a difficult task for 2 people. the body weighs about 700lbs. and the frame is probably 1000lbs. We made a plan and went with. In advance, I would like apologize to my parents who would kill me if they knew I was going to do this. However no one got hurt. It is a little ghetto but a very unique process that has been mastered by rednecks all over the country. Here is step 1:
Step 1 - Jack body up with jack and firewood pillars!
Step 2 - repeat on other side and in the rear of vehicle, and connect the 2 pillars with a 4x4x8. The key is to get the truck high enough that the frame just roll sout from under it! Like this
