    Fires?...ohhhh I see what ou did there :p

    Nope no clutch. Tomorrow is the day I think.

    Just finish the stereo which is awesome. Battery cleaned up. Piaas back in. Figured out how to put em together sorta easy. Bulbs come tomorrow.

    Just mounted my front skid

    048cccde8dd6f9d6e8b5e27348587ba1_zpsb6f3_2ed1f731a0785c8627fcf5257a2a4e3988bed070.jpg

    Which I just realized was probably a waste of time as I have one more cv to do. I got the new seal today. And was going to ad a bit of gear oil...oh well. Ill take it off on the lift tomorrow.

    Now just cleaning stuff up and putting my interior back in and get stuff together.

    Yea I'd thought about it. Be damn expensive belly skid tho..400 or more. But it's also a tranny skid..so maybe that's reasonable. Idk.

    Hmm, yeah. But for how lightweight it is I wouldn't think that it's terribly expensive considering regular ones are near the $300 price range.

    thank you. was going to mention that, but did not have the stats to back it up. :thumbsup:
    see but that is just a shitty personal opinion. There is nothing fun to be about dealing with a clutch when wheeling. nothing, zero, nada. With my bike...totally different. I get one appendage to one operation. not 2 feet to 3 pedals. thats just retarded. Monte. your argument is shit and based solely on a biased opionion. you are arguing like OZ now. stop.

    I wasn't really arguing...I mean I even said I like my auto in my dbl cab..it was you and Brady who rushed in to defend your auto honor haha

    Manuals are fun. And yes. Fun offroad. I offroaded plenty in an auto. I'm not an idiot. I have more time behind the wheel of an auto offroad then you do. I'm well aware of them and their greatness.

    Manuals are more fun.

    Don't like that?

    Then shutup and respect my opinion.
