    I have to say, building armor yourself is a challenge in itself but building armor for you daily adds another level of difficulty

    So true. Luckily/unluckily I have to tear the front end of my truck a kart anyway thanks to a shitty driver. It a bit of motivation.

    Still need to do some alignment but it's on for now. After the hood and grill get fixed, I will finish up (aligning with body, fill plates under grill and head light, hoops).

    It super sucks. I work for the city of Seattle and they are self insured. Which means they want to cheat as much as possible. I also learned that Pemco ( my insurance) is almost useless. I will be shopping for new insurance.
