    Offer to loan him your truck so he has a truck to engineer/design them. :)

    I already have them designed. I don't think I'm going to market them though.

    Thanks for the assist Clevsix - I would gladly loan out my truck, but I live in South America, so kinda more than a day trip.

    But hey Ryan - If you ever want to take your business international....

    Thanks anyways, and best of luck with your business and products!

    All the skids are out the door.

    Bumpers, unfortunately are going to be delayed a bit. I had a huge mishap with a home remodel I'm doing and now I have a bunch of my furniture in my garage I can't be welding and grinding around. Grrrr.

    It's cool, when I ordered a Shrockwork's for my wife's Xterra it was a 6 month wait. This will still be way faster than them.

    Haha too late. I bought 700 square feet of bamboo flooring for my house, went to lay it so I moved everything into my garage, then most of the flooring I got was wrong. The right stuff won't be in for a week or 2.

    Oh MAN...tracking says they've been delivered...and I'm stuck at work. Luckily the weight will probably discourage someone from taking them from my front porch.

    My Star Wars Force Awakens Bluray however...better still be there or there will be hell to pay.

    Not bad for a few hours work. Another coat or two of red, some clear coat, and ready to install!

    3/16" steel is no joke. I probably should have moved them from the porch piece by piece instead of hurging them all at once.

    That stretch wrap was kind of a pain in the ass to remove, but it definitely did the job.

    Thanks Ryan!

    I'll have mine done being painted this afternoon. Won't get them mounted until Sunday though - going to a buddy's house with a vehicle lift which should make it substantially easier. Especially with two of us. :)
