    All in good time. Sorry we couldn't get yours done as well! At least you know what it's going to take now. Brush up on those grinder skills :D

    Ha I know! I'm tempted to just cut them myself now. Where did you get that weather stripping? I liked the large edges it had to it

    Pretty sure you can get it at Home Depot or OSH, but I just snagged some scrap from work. I left a bunch with @inv3ctiv3 , so there will probably be enough left over to do yours too. If not I can get some more for you

    Nice! It isn't too hard to get those guys in. Just heavy.
    Ha I haven't installed them yet... I've fully flexed my rear and there was still room. But I'll get them in soon. My dad might help me out this week.
    I'm done with finals but still have 2 more big tests for my EMT certification.

    That makes me feel better. I'm nervous about how long it will take to install. I think I am going to wait until I head home for break to do the brake lines. I have to fix the brakes anyway so I'll have the wheels off.

    Dude that is awesome! My girlfriend just got certified as an EMT this summer and works for station 17 on campus. It's a really cool and rewarding job.

    Yeah my girlfriend is at Goleta Valley as an ED Tech. I'm hoping to get into Search and Rescue. The vehicles they have there are drool worthy. Might be able to drive their military hummer in the future :D

    I'm so into it. Everything they get is through donations and through the sheriffs department. But SB seems to be pretty generous with all the vehicles they have ha

    Here we go
    Got the fender flares off and the underlining
    IMG_8127.jpg
    Then came the first cut. Saw @inv3ctiv3 cut his so I wasnt worried at all. I knew what to expect and kind of knew what I was doing
    IMG_8131 (1).jpg
    Winged it and just freehanded the flares. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be to get them looking straight
    IMG_8132.jpg This is before I adjusted everything and I still need to paint/weather strip the edges. But i'm more than happy with the bumper on my truck
