    I have a hole, roughly half-dollar size, in the driver side section of the frame. I really need to crawl under and spend a day grinding and cleaning to find any other holes. It's definitely an area that can be patched with a plate. I would entertain the idea of a full frame swap in the future but need an intermediate fix.

    No rush on the time frame. I live in Belchertown but will drive a decent way for a good shop.

    I live in Pelham, on the Amherst side near the school. My sister in law lives in belchertown so we’re over that way quite a bit. Looking forward to seeing that cavalry Blue in person. I was thinking about getting one too. I have a Barcelona Red sport 2015, pro rims, voodoo rack.

    Nice! I got mine at Balise for MSRP in May. I've heard some Pro mark-up horror stories on the forums...a lot out on the west coast though.

    And does anyone need bigger tires? I have three brand new cooper stt pro 315/70/17 that I bought as extras for my jeep. Jeeps gone and too big for my taco build. Sucks cause best tires I've run. Seeing if anyone here needs some. The tires are new build had a few months. 600 takes them. Located in western mass.

    443-0046 is number. I had him weld in some C gussets and lca braces on my jeep. Does good work, just getting in. Usually easier to swing in if you're local enough. He's always working so phone is iffy.

    That is what I figured. I tried calling one day and went right to VM. Once I get my truck operable again, I will try to swing by his place.
    Is it on East St.?
