    you don't have to have talent to be an artist, just have to know how to sell your shit to people and make them think it's something more than it is

    I'd say at $350 it's a good deal. I think those All Pro ones retail for quite a bit more. I got my Avid one for $250 used but it limits usable bed space quite a bit, this one looks like you get to keep a lot more of it.

    lol

    off the top of my head, here's a few:

    "Friends don't let friends use spacers"

    "But spacers, Bro!"

    "When it absolutely, positively has to be destroyed overnight:
    Balljoint Spacers"

    Get ejected and fly over the Jeep? Still sounds pretty gnarly

    That guy was in a car but wasn't wearing his seatbelt and got ejected through the windshield; landed on the overpass freeway sign and died on impact. Was pretty brutal....but he was driving like a complete idiot. Played a stupid game and won a stupid prize, just glad he only hurt himself if I recall the story correctly. No surprise it happened in Glendale...so many awful drivers in that town.

    I'm talking about the youtube video floating around of a guy on a bike that rear ends some car, and he does a front flip and ends up sitting on the roof of the car. Car slowly pulls over and the biker is more or less unharmed...

    Bet the freeway sign guy was dead before he hit the sign...

    Well I didn't really kill the Jeep, fucked his fender and bumper up, bent a wheel and slashed his tire. Flew over the Jeep, broke my pelvis haha, it was super fun :rolleyes:

    Reserected from the dead.
    Why?

    You still need to do flushes and fills.

    A new rad cost around $110 bucks. A rad flush and fill is $90.

    I'm gonna go with a new, standard rad every 80k or so.

    Every rad that I had go bad, died of blunt force trauma. I fully expect to take out rads in the future. I'm not so upset about killing a $100 rad. Those aluminum units look nice, but the price is not worth it.

    The engines run at the same temp using either. If you are racing your truck and need the extra cooling, then the cost probably isn't a conscern.

    Yeah pretty much. Blows my mind how expensive toyota coolant is. But I care about my truck so I pay it. My car I fill with a garden hose

    I haven't seen any convincing evidence that paying the extra for the Toyota coolant is really worth it. Engine oil, too.

    More expensive doesn't always mean better.

    True, I just figure even though it's expensive it's in there so long it's not that much extra. Oil I wouldn't go broke over though, Buy good filters though
