    I understand but I don't think it's fair that I get lumped into the group of dicks. And his (@TacoFMS) comments about me not knowing what goes into fabbing definitely came off as rude and condescending, especially when he doesn't know me or my experience. I never dicked you all over, and I was just giving it back to him as he was giving it to me.

    I wasn't asking for a handout when I said I would be in line for a Casper bracket. All I meant was that I would be interested in buying one from you if you decided to make them as I think you are one of the nicer and more genuine members I have interacted with and I would be happy to support you. I don't know what he took from it, but I didn't appreciate his input and if he is intending to be a dick than he should expect people to be a dick back.

    I never got my panties in a bunch. I have no problem with give and take. It breaks up the monotony. But if you would rather, I can easily stop all together towards you.

    You can proceed however you want, just give me the benefit of the doubt when it comes to knowing about fabrication or lumping me in with the rest of the "one click" snowflakes.

    Yes it was unfair to have lumped you in with the others, at some point if I ever get another welder I may start making some things like that to sell but rt now I have to use somebody elses, and I may perhaps have chip on my shoulder about the whole scene up there which is not fair to those who never did me wrong. Justins opinions and attitude are his buisness and they have been developed for good reasons I don't argue with them and i understand them.

    So have you settled on what your first big mod will be? I would imagine a suspension, wheels, and tires? Or armor?

    Most likely tires. I'm changing paths and am likely going to run 255/80r17 Maxx just like you. The tires are just so much cheaper! I can also run them on stock suspension until I sell the current tires on it and that'll fund the lift. Tires won't come for another month or two though.

    IMHO you won't be disappointed with that tire size or tire itself

    Agreed. Last time I checked they're $185 shipped from discounttiredirect and you just can't beat that. I was wanting 285/75r17 but those are like $50 more a tire, and then I'd need wheel spacers. The cost-benefit just isn't there to run 34's.

    Damn that's a really good price. I ended up getting mine locally last year they met the cheapest price I got online I believe $210 per tire including mounting, balancing, and lifetime rotations
