    is it pretty hard to chop your cab for wheel space? Or can you just basically use a grinder to cut enough space out

    it took me around 15 min per side to cut. only used a 4.5" angle grinder with a cut off wheel then a sanding disk to finish profiling it.
    then ran out of welding gas lol. so getting welding this weekend

    I stash a tank of straight argon and c25 at my house cause I'm the only one at the shop who gets welding gas before it runs out so mine always gets stolen when they run out of gas
