    I want to give a big thanks to Kaer Coating here in ABQ. They not only fixed up all the holes after sandblasting but they also powder coated it twice for extra endurance since they dont give military dicounts :thumbsup:

    Honestly I didn't know much when I was in the market. I knew I wanted a truck and I knew I wanted better Mpgs than my old car. So I got into this. Loved it then my buddy Silas got me into TW. The rest is history :rofl: knowing what I know now I would've done a lot different. But I'm happy with my current set up and what it can do.

    :cool:

    The last two sentences probably apply to a LOT of people on TW.... I know they apply to me. Just an excuse to start another build exactly the way you want it from the begining. :D

    yeah we'll see what happens in the future. The plan is to pay this off then who knows what'll happen later

    edit: glad to see you're alive! haha I haven't seen you in FOR EVER!

    Thank you!

    Thanks dick. That flare will be fixed this weekend, Just need some ammonia, 3M tape, and some heat... As for the gap I can barely notice it myself now, but no there isn't. Apparently when it was getting welded it got warped, it's the price I paid for getting a WIY kit. I'm not too bummed about it
