    Me too. But that's about to be fixed. It seems like the more i mod the less practical my truck is.

    Haha. I'm going to. Maybe you can help me with the pinch weld. Did you fold it? Which direction should I fold it and how much plastic should I cut out? Do you have pics?

    I can text u pics tomorrow when there's light out. But I didn't really do it correctly LOL. I tried using a BFH to hammer it down, and it just wouldn't bend over. I ended up just cutting it off and putting RTV silicone on it

    Never thought I would drive something like this but the point of this cummuter mod is something that will require low cheap maintenance and get me from a to b. I am leaning towards this kia rio. I can't believe I just said that. How big of rims can i fit on it with a lowering kit. Let that modding begin. Haha. Wait that's how I got to this point.

    If anyone tries to stick their head where they can see said smash and spray technique, hit them with said hammer... Or just 'unfriend' on Facebook.

    But really, once sh!t gets dirty you can't tell the difference regardless.

    Good to know.

    Nice. I was hoping someone should get my humor. I think I'm just going to tint those clear windows and take off the hub caps.

    Exactly my 35's took some hits in the desert that I think would of caused a blow out with different tires, but I could air down to 13-15psi for some crawling and they barely flexed

    Bike = Id like to but the wife would kill me

    Nice. You need more armor...

    Nice. Im excited. The 295s in the trail grappler are huge... Almost 34s with all that tread... I was looking at 295 BFGs but they run small.

    I was from pleasanton till last weekend. I sold the house and moved to discovery bay. I still work in livermore. There are some carnegie shots in there and bear valley, tahoe, hull mountain, hollister, and a bunch of other places.
