    dude... fuck that. i paid $200 to have a buddy paint my old fenders and then when i destroyed them i was pissed cause i just had them painted 3 weeks before that...lol

    think how pissed you'll be when you kill your $800 paint job...

    save your money... you could get some bypasses for almost that cost.

    rattle can that shit. :cool:

    In Bend? Hell yeah there is. OHV trails all over the place. I like China Hat and that area, and the Christmas Valley Dunes are great. The Fort Rock area near the dunes is full of great desert trails, and there is some neat touristy shit out there like the lost forest (petrified trees in the middle of nowhere), Hole in the ground (a big f'ing hole, it's cool), and the "nike" cave where the oldest pair of caveman shoes was found. In the higher ground around Mt Bachelor there are tons of forest roads to go cruise around on, good mushroom hunting areas, and some very good fishin'.

    No, but Oregon is my home of record, I own property there, intend on returning there, and I only work 14 days a month in california, 10 months out of the year (less if you count overseas travel). I pay Oregon taxes on my income as well as file a part year return in cali. I got out of the Army recently and took a job here until I can find something back home in Oregon. Anyone up there have the hook up on a tech job?

    Thanks.
    My whole body hurts, but yes, especially my hands. Busted the same damn finger 3 times. No full pictures yet. Fenders are still in the backyard. Been working on this thing since 9:00 this morning. Still need to bleed the brakes, test drive, set the ride height, and tie up a few little loose ends.

    I got my bedsides from them and am very unhappy. If I hadnt ditched my bed completely im sure they wouldnt have fit right. As is the tabs for tail lights were not long enough and I already have issues with the glass after less than 6 months. Only bought them becuase they are only a few minutes form my house, When I do it again ill get something better for sure.

    x2 my tailight fitment is really really bad, i suck at fiberglass so im hoping to find someone who can re-fiberglass my tail light section and then re-cut it to match up better with the lights
    my front is bad too but its not as bad as the rear(you can see bigass holes back there!!)
    Heres my "good side" there a big gap on top as well as the sides
