    I usually back into most spots so it happens more often, someone will pull in and their passenger door will be 6" from my driver's door because people don't pay attention to a damn thing. As long as they can get out, who tf cares if the guy next to them can get in

    It's bed liner actually

    I never really thought about what kind of money they make, but whatever it is you couldn't pay me enough to do it

    Speaking of wheels, I'm in the market for high -offset wheels (over -25mm), 17", preferably grey or bronze, beadlock or not, but under $2500 a set. Any suggestions?

    That might be the worst bedliner job I've ever seen lol. But it'd be an even worse rattle can job to be fair

    I'm not a fan of it but it actually looks a lot better when it's dry, in that picture it's wet

    I'm sure they do make good money especially if it's a privately owned one....but I just can't imagine how stressful it would become to be in that environment all day long, every day...be hard not to bring that home with you after awhile.

    He's prior military so like me, he's already messed up and desensitized as fuck :rofl::bananadead:

    I can say from experience that, it doesn't take a brave person to take on a fucked up job

    It takes a fucked up person :anonymous:

    Pretty easy to look up average salaries per state for stuff like that.
    Certainly doubt anyone is breaking six digits. I'm with @eon_blue though, big nope. But like @Kwikvette said, takes a certain kinda person to jump into that kinda gig.
