    I got ya. That's what @The Fluffer is doing now.. kind of a special situation. But yes.. we're growing like crazy. ADD might not be a favorite of many.. (I'm not a fan of their 2nd gen bumpers.. older design) but they have absolutely locked down the market for Raptor shit. Jesus.. we do a lot of raptor work. Lol. They just keep pumping money back into the company tho.. we ordered 3 new pieces of high end machinery. A first for ADD.. and I get to be a part of this growing, new shop. Definitely cool and a fun place to work. Lots of little perks and cool shit for us truck/automotive enthusiasts.

    There’s definitely snow but most been wheeled. Also, it’s been pretty warm during the days, so it’s melting quick

    As luck would have it I just so happen to have a lot of experience working with 2D plotters for my business so I'm sure the laser cutter would be right up my alley.

    @XPOTRPR I'll shoot you a PM! :D

    Some, Suspension and stuff, tires, maybeh some armor.
    Fuuuuuck. I am already spending way too much money on the new vehicle.
    BP-51's and ICON uppers being installed on Friday.
    Now i really have to decide on a tire. I had Falken AT3's on the taco for a while, but didn't have a chance to push them offroad. I am also looking at the new hybrids from Nitto and Toyo.
    I am looking at 285/75/17 (preferred) but might do 285/70/17 if the price/tire is right.

    Any of you guys have real pro/cons/better suggestions?

    I am not going to run a full MT anymore, i do too much pavement.

    Thanks!
    Gonna take mine off and give it a try.

    Still gotta trim my fenders and pinch weld. Skeered!

    Do you guys remove the fender liner to bend the pinch weld over or just pull it out of the way?
    And I assume about 6" of the weld needs to be folder over? Or cut it out?

    By that time... That's hopefully what I'll be doing. Haha. They've got me on the fast track to get out of the shop full time, and back into more of the R&D/ Design type stuff I used to do. Been killin it.. and showing them my old parts I was designing and producing. But... You should still come over.. bwahaha.

    How you liking it? Been looking at them vs Saiga's myself.

    Received and replied :thumbsup:

    Replied! :cheers:

    Haha. Andrew and I don't even get to really work with each other. I'm out at 3.. he comes in part time around 4 or so. I did see his pretty face today tho cuz I was there late. Lol

    I digging it so far. No crazy about the cheek rest. It's to far forward for me. I tip it out of the way and it seems fine. It did grab a few beard hairs today.

    AMMO AZ has them for $799.

    If the tax man does not take away this year, going to put papers in for another can/silencer for the 45acp pistol. Any recommendations for a can?
    Multi caliber is always nice but not needed and don't care if it is the quietest but do like it to be on the lighter side. The Omega K looks good right now.

    I have a Silencerco Osprey .45 and it's really nice. Haven't tried it subcaliber yet though. I can't help but admit I like the look of it too.

    Doesn't the Saiga's need to be converted?

    The Osprey can is pretty nice as is the Omega 9. I have both.
