    Considered Red letters for a hot second, then I realized I wanted to do more than pose at malls....

    Technically I guess there is a mall at Primm but since it's just an outlet mall is that an even more shameful level of posing?

    And I never get bro ho's. Gotta be doing something wrong here!

    The truck will be out around Vegas all week for the Mint. Las Vegas Blvd for the parade today, Fremont St for tech on Friday morning, and all over Primm and Jean on Saturday for the race! 11 V-6 leaf sprung mini's signed up to battle, should be a good time. Come and say hello if you see us! - Jason

    Hahaha! If they work well for you that's all that matters. Great desert tire because of the plys. I had bad experiences in ice and dunes with them, neither of which they are designed for.
    Good luck at your race!

    LOL no hard feelings, just joking around! They've been good to us and GT supports the "little guys" like us more than any other tire company in the sport so we appreciate it. Our truck doesn't see much ice or sand so it works out ok for us!

    The gears in my head are turning a bit. Any of you guys ever make a press brake to bend 1/8 and 3/16 plate? I don't see me ever doing anything as large as 1/4. For example I saw that swag makes one to attach to a 20 ton harbor freight press. Plus I've seen people weld up their own fixtures. Do you get a bend that looks like garbage or just better to have a place bend up a part you already cut out?

    I've built two. Pretty easy and handles 1/4". I get bends that look just like they were done on a larger press brake.

    Better to ask what I have not done.
    I feel comfotable bendinding 3/16 up to 30inches, 1/4 up to 22inches, and 1/8 chromoly the full 37.5 inches wide on this press. The lower bars if you do not debur your edges of metal will get buggered up and cause gouges in your piece your working on.
