    Maybe, maybe not. Inchworm was awesome, all pro was good until they moved to Montana and right before TG bought them. TG was started because the dude worked for marlin and they got in a fight about or something like that.

    The reality is if you want to build a 1st gen or a mini truck your going to have to learn how to weld.

    Yea but you are doing it wrong, early gen Toyotas are built with 110v flux core booger welds, not by trained people with TIG welders and stuff like that LOL

    If you're playing with a second gen 4r, chances are you don't know how to read anyway

    There are so many of them, and they're dog shit too (the way they're done up, etc).

    And it's laughable when you see them on FB MP thinking they're gonna get the same as a 3rd Gen 4R. People especially in Fresno are CHEAP AF.

    Priced out a glue laminated wooden beam to fix the saggy part of my living room floor. $1850... ouchy

    But if I sink a new vertical support beam in the basement floor and fabricate a cradle on top I can order it in two pieces and cut 1/3 of the cost.... but I need a new beam to be the vertical support too. :confused:

    Did they ever get their ifs LT kit shipping regularly? That's the last thing I remember reading about them. Seemed cool, in concept.

    Days where I get to go do stuff in boots and a hard hat always feel more productive than the office days.

    I have, but feel like the important part is the 'doing stuff' part. None of that happens at the office.
