From State Farm

 

metal came in...

 

New shop?

 

Thanks!

 

Off topic, any of yall ever had any experience with turning a lease in early?

 

Finally fixed my smoker.

 

Hell ya I’m hungry. Can I get a delivery

 

I have a bit of brisket going on mine tomorrow.

 

Chicken is off, ribs are wrapped, and queso is on.

 

Getting there


Needs just a few tweaks and coating. Didn't want to put the stock bumper back on, so I had to improvise for temporary license plate relocation

 

good times tonight thanks @Bigdaddy4760 for hosting once again. I went there with 5 beers and 3 pizzas and left with a double wall whiskey glass, moonshine, and a gun

 

How was the fit?

 

The fit was pretty good. Maner said my frame was slightly wider than yours, so the plates were a tight squeeze, but nothing a BFH couldn't handle. The tube pieces on the sides were hugging the truck pretty good, so we cut slightly and banged those out at an angle. The holes could use a little wallering out to make install a little easier. Thanks to you and Maner for making a damn fine looking bumper for me!

 

What size is this? I just bought some land in Bluff Dale and will be building a shop/weekend getaway. Wondering if 30x40 is about right.

 

Glad it’s not too far off. Ideally you build part of it on the truck so you know it fits when you’re done. That wasn’t really an option in this scenario. If we did a bunch more of these I’d build a jig to start them on, but it is what it is. I’m glad you’re happy with it.

 

Had a badass time out at bridgeport today

 

Was it weird having one of the newest trucks in the group?

 

I actually didn’t take mine lol. Rode with my friend in the red 1st gen 4runner. I was stacking rocks and guiding a lot. I was super impressed with a 4x4 converted 3rd gen on stock suspension and 265s.
