    Walmart no longer has the Goodyear authority so they replaced it with a duratrac. I like the tire it just doesn’t match, so hopefully I’ll catch more trash in my sidewalks in the near future.

    I also hit a pillar in a parking garage about a year ago and have been driving it like this until today.

    Found this fender at a local JY for $45. Grabbed it the morning after it showed up on CL. It’s not perfect but I’m happy. It’s not easy running across tacos here lol especially ones that are a close match! I was able to straighten up the bumper pretty well too.

    ...well, Ben's still running stock skids, so he's right that you don't need them to do tons of adventures.

    He hasn't touched it enough to break it which is saying something since it is basically trash when it's new.

    If your busy don’t sweat it. I’m a little out of the way anyhow. Once my truck is done I’m planing on heading your way to catch up with you and Leo.

    Pshhhh. Just get out there and experience it. I slept in a pop up tent wth a cot. Not bad really. No need for a RTT. Do light trails and ride along for the harder ones since your armor isn’t up to par. You’ll still have a good time. Plus I usually jump the truck at RT if I’m there and everyone gets a good laugh. Just really fun at RT.

    Stop making excuses :p You have some of the best wheeling around you. For me to get to a good trail I have to drive 2 hours north to an offroad park and pay $25 to wheel a day. All the good local trails are closing or take under an hour to finish. That's driving 2 hours just to wheel for an hour if that. Then another hour to hit another trail. Stop complaining and get out there :smack:

    So that one other truck is where this one came from. I really think someone should make them. The aussies have the best tricks for sealing up an alu shell. Maybe borrow some of their techniques and apply it to this thing. I’m excited to get my RTT on it.

    Moab is the armpit of southern Utah. Keeps getting busier and busier. Worth a visit for sure, but there's 100 other places in Utah I would rather go.

    I'll be drinking a beer while Tim works his magic. I'm sure he would be happy to help you with your Kings, but I'm not going to be detailing his process.

    Sounds good, and yeah, you're the wrong direction for me. Alternatively, if you're not in the middle of cage building, stop by Tim's while my coilovers are getting rebuilt.
