    Lolololol you win a free ride in the front seat if you ever see me out and about! Yup, gotta start with the basics then move on to more expensive repairs. Good call

    Thank you! And I’m glad the tablet mount is treating you well!

    However, I must confess the shop is owned by a friend of mine. I’m blessed with how generous he is, and we worked together along with another homie to build my truck. It takes a village to make these trucks work, rarely does anyone do it alone.

    Been ogling over your truck and tflow51’s truck for the last hour or so... exactly how I am trying to build my truck.
    Clean style and function, professionally built, and top level performance.
    Can’t wait to head up there this summer and meet you all, and continue saving for a dirt designs DD 3link...

    Your lucky man, I'm on the east coast the roads are salty af. I need a heated garage and my own undercoating kit if my truck is going to last.

    All the good trails are for quads, fucking spruce trees everywhere scratching my baby. Dreaming of the Socal lyfe

    Travis's truck is so much more dialed than mine, you'd pass out if you saw the inside / bed cage up close. He's done a great job polishing it up, I look forward to getting mine even close to that.

    I just went for a BITD/SCORE legal roll cage and back half to get the max performance out of the truck and if I ever wanted to race it, we could. I've spent a lot of time with a multipurpose offroad truck and it ends up being inadequate for heavy desert use and utility so I just wanted to go full purpose built offroad.

    The 3link DD is putting out is so dope, you can't beat the ride quality of a linked truck.

    Legit wall paper!

    it's crazy how much different off-road is outside of socal, you'd almost have to have somebody in social build the truck and then you tow it home. I know a few people that have done that

    Rust scares the shit out of me, so I can only imagine the salty roads. We have it bad enough here in the pismo area because the beach is 3 miles as the crow flys so things rust out VERY quickly here too.

    Socal dezert* lyfe is awesome, the rest of cali life is bullshit. The government of this state is a disaster. :bananadead:
