    That's actually a big issue in schools today.... need shop class back in high schools. There is absolutely nothing wrong with working with your hands and tools for a living

    Best class I ever took in high school was auto shop. Use that shit all the fucking time. I did the whole college thing and got through without loans, but now don't use my degree in my line of work. I love working with my hands.

    I may not be able to flirt, but I can fix her car. At the end of the night I get the same result

    Its funny that you say that, but some schools still do. But im talking about people i their 30s and 40s . I know alot of them. Cant even turn a srcrewdriver let alone cut wood. Flat out worthless and shouldnt call themselves men.

    Funny you say that, my ex's step father was a foreman on a job site yet the guy would always have someone put together anything he got from Home Depot or whatever. I found it shocking in his line of work that he could have the job title he had yet be so retarded with basic ass furniture. I went to school for design and stuff, but I always wished I did auto in high school as I would of been working on vehicles much sooner in life.

    Looks good! But how much lift will it provide? Did you have to do the cab mount chop? Will you need spacers ?

    I just started teaching a special ed class - I want them to have real life skills. Bought out my local HF of all their small tape measures so each student has one to work with in my math classes. I almost didn't graduate when I was in school because I spent all day in the drafting and shop room messing around with stuff and forgot to take any electives. Luckily they let me use an engineering camp for a class otherwise I would have been living with my parents still lol :rofl:
