    Yea man that's some annoying ass shit. There were a few cops that had serious ego issues that I had met there. One cop tried to scare tactic me by pulling me over for 37 mph in a 35 for the fact that I didn't want to sit behind him the whole way. I ended up asking for his superior and then he pleasantly changed his tone and told me to have a nice day, likely was a rookie. Another was an old guy that handcuffed me outside my house saying I was wreckless when he said I "rolled" through a stop sign with an attitude that to this day I am convinced I sat at for a few seconds, the guy was so smart he was convinced my exhaust was modified. I eventually grew tired of his bullshit and told him to simply look at my exhaust...the dumbass could not tell that my exhaust was simply cut before my leaf packs. This is what landed me in cuffs for a minute, but it was great roasting that guy in court over his overbearing attitude.

    Long story short Im happy to have relocated from VA.

    I dont blame ya man, damn CA has the nicest weather out there. Also you would be surprised at the wheeling climate here...folks make a plan in minutes and then head out. I went from wheeling 3 times a year to almost weekly. Damn truck got pinstripped completely this weekend to where its hard to find fresh paint anymore...aye.

    I found a very cheap Warn bumper for the 95 Toyota truck. I believe fab'ing it to fit a Tacoma shouldn't be a big deal but I'll need some help.

    If you want wait a couple months I'll be down the end of may. I'm still getting my feet wet but have been doing minor fab work on these trucks for about a year now. CMC, shock relocate, stuff like that.

    You're gonna be a busy man here in VA.

    If your willing to help fab this bumper to my truck, I'm willing to pay an honest wage.

    That's what I'm hoping for. I like doing the work and it's a great way to make a little cash on the side.

    And I'd be more than happy to help. I haven't done anything quite like that but I'd be happy to try, and charge accordingly. I'm not gonna ask for professional prices when I'm just a garage guy. Like I said, I'm still learning as I go with some things but I enjoy the challenge.

    Remember him saying he could possibly do fab work when he’s local
