    It’s that gross wheel well geometry that makes them angry. Honestly it’s the most ghastly thing I’ve ever seen on the nternet and in person.

    What is the correct way to do the cab mount chop to preserve the mechanical integrity and purpose of the original design?

    The correct procedure to ensure deflection during impact is to step 1) throw your fucking grinder off a cliff and step 2) roll your welder into a lagoon finally step 3) have a sandwich and forget your initial foolishness.

    Why would you put a plastic rear bumper on a pickup truck?

    While correct, it’s also a half truth. It’s “you don’t buy a truck for it’s wheel well geo, HOWEVER, you DONT buy a truck BECAUSE it has GROSE AF wheel well geo.” So it’s an issue of do and don’t. I obviously don’t, because I didn’t.
