    I think it's a great idea. We need to find out of she is actually seeing all of this to make sure we know how to get her the proceeds. I have time to try to do some organizing, etc. so I have no problem doing some of that.

    Never met mike in real life just her on taco land and I did it with my foot in my mouth. He from what I know about him was a great guy. I've lost way to much empathy for man kind over the years. Last week my roommate tried to kill herself and I didn't even care but when I read this I cried so hard my girlfriend though that one of my sisters had died.. made me realize that I wasn't just sad that he isn't going to be on here or I wont be able to wheel with him but also that he left behind loved ones that need him in their life. My heart and prayers go out to you..

    Yeah similar thing happened to me. Lost an older relative not long ago and I didn't shed a tear but I lost it yesterday when I found out. Something about a young guy who had passions and had stuff going on like going to school for gun smithing that really got me. shows how life can be taken from you at any moment. I just cried and held my kids. Then I thought about his wife, because they had no kids, and how alone she must feel. Then I lost it some more. We are all so lucky and rarely take time to realize it. That is Mike's final gift to us, to give us perspective on how we need to live while we can and love and be loved as strongly as we can while we are here.
    It is easy to get wrapped up in keeping up with other people and their trucks or other possessions but this makes me feel like I need to spend more time just getting out there with my loved ones enjoying life and the beautiful world we live in. Which is exactly what I intend to do.
    Sorry for the long post but I'm feeling pretty deep right now.

    X2 got my first taste of that with my rear bumper. Started up the dremel saw Max, looked at an almost-perfect bedside, said fuck it and let the sparks fly! At least those were straight cuts, I would be nervous with cutting fenders to clear tires.

    Hahaha that probably took forever to cut that with a dremel get the cut off wheel on a 4.5" grinder and go to town and yeah I couldn't do the first cut on my truck I had my brother do it then it was already done so I didn't feel bad about cutting up a brand new truck

    Big tires, big lift, Lots of stuff's.
    Yeah as we talked last night Id love too. Prolly a good idea to do it down south and maybe end in the springs. So people who can think of trail runs like a big loop down south that everyone can do so the stock trucks and random people can join in.

    The dremel saw Max is bigger and different style cutter than a regular dremel. 2.5" blade I think. It was pretty sweet actually. Got it done pretty quick.
