    Speed freak I feel your pain with bills adding up and little money coming in. I just had another kid and it's been tough, but keep working hard and things will turn around. If your in the area come on by id like to see some of your work and I definitely like to show you some of mine.

    Yeah it was a dope little day, nothing like costing the only legit 5lug guy on the west coast some money and time. But lunch was bomb followed by a stop at the brewery and nearly loppin off my pinky with a flying rock. Brian's a chill dude working on some nice projects producing some legit work.

    I think the only thing cheaper about a 5 lug is initial purchase cost and gas. Otherwise offroad parts are equally expensive. My 5 lug is a money black hole.

    I love the 5 lug frames because they have better ground clearance then the 6 lugs. Eventually you upgrade or fix the problems with the 5 luggers but the frame mounts stay the same in the end... unless you center mount of course.

    Nope, was a great upgrade. No more squeaky uca bushings and never had to replace the heims either.

    I'm really considering it, how much are heims for that typically?
