    Bw s256 turbo with 3 in glass pack dumped pre axle raptor liner bed and top rails and fenderflares and rocker panels. Hunter side steps. Plasti-dipped upper fenders and emblems. satin black spray paint here and there inside and out. 5100's set to 1.75" up front . C channel front bumper. Maxxis bighorn 255/85/16
    when they first came out I read several articles that said it was a pretty crappy shotgun and a pretty crappy 45... but .410 handgun ammo is much better now. it still wont penetrate enough with anything but slugs and possibly buckshot (I'm pretty sure that buck shot is still gonna stop around 9 inches but I may be wrong about that) I suppose they have a good place as a trail gun for snakes and stuff, but I couldn't see myself getting one, especially since you can get #4 shotshells for .357/.38 and they are gonna do about the same thing and I have 7 shots in a smaller gun

    That's the only one I'd own. The cylinder, barrel and mechanics are steel, so the weight is just about right. I bought it as a snake gun. :D

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    did you get road hazard? i got my stt pros from them and it turns out that wasn't just a popped bead, there's a gash in the sidewall. less than 5k on it.

    No because I didn't buy my tires from them. I had the tires on long before I moved to Huntsville and started using NTB.

    Also Huntsville residents, where would you take your truck in for Oil Change, etc.? NTB won't do it unless I buy oil from them, and I like to use my own choice of oil.

    Before you bash me for doing that, it's always been worth the whopping 18$ to have Havoline Xpress Lube in Arab do their like 20 point inspection and change my oil for me. Saves me time, and on my old trucks they helped me locate like 3 things I never would've seen myself that I needed to repair.

    There isn't a Havoline Xpress Lube in Huntsville, so I need recommendations.

    I hear this place Brian's is pretty knowledgeable and honest service. Only downside is that you can usually catch a little smack talk while there.

    Drive to Arab?

    I do my own oil, but if you are happy with their service then continue.

    If Brian will do the 20 point inspection then sure haha.

    If I can find the time I am going to. With Moab close I am not sure I can find the time to get up there when they are open.

    For real if you just want a good oil change, express auto / tire engineers is a good place I always go to.

    I'm going to call them and find out cost.


    NTB just called me and my front brakes are basically shot, so getting that taken care of now too. Guess I'm getting fully ready for Moab haha!

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    meanwhile I am getting unready. Took of my back icons and put factory back on, they were leaking badly after last trip. Debating whether I should leave the fronts on or put back stock+spacers. I know the left has lost some oil but think it stopped after i tightened it up. The right may or may not be OK.
