    Money. The billies were $150 a pair and I can turn around easily and sell the fox shocks for $200 and still come out on top. Happy wife (fiancée) happy life.

    How did you enjoy the cutting and grinding of all the OEM mounts?

    Used a plasma cutter :thumbsup: minor grinding after that although I had @NwiTACO handle the prep work since he was doing the welding..it's all about prep with that kind of stuff and I wanted it to be done perfectly.

    1st wife; Sweetest woman on the face of the earth. ALWAYS wanted what I wanted....NEVER complained. That all changed on Saturday afternoon when I pulled a ring out of my pocket and put it on her finger. Apparently Hitler had a daughter. The woman hates to see a man with a smile on his face.

    2nd wife; Among other things I noticed when we first met, I liked how "thrifty" she is. That's now high on my "no go" list if there's ever a need for wife #3.

    Live by the concept that it's better to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.

    I didn't ask for permission for the Billies. I admitted my mistake about initially ordering the wrong style shocks AFTER they were already delivered.

    Thanks again to @NwiTACO for all the help and availability to get this work done! This was his first time working with @JLee 's kit and he lived working with it! Great job on this kit Jerry!! Also shoutout to Marie and @HeadStrong Off-Road for getting me the Billies on time!

    Thanks to everyone who made this possible and now I will be able to wheel at my bachelor party!!

    Now I need to try to grab @GARSHA91 to have him "spot" me while I can flex this..hopefully today!!

    Gah your Satoshi turned out great- but after reading your details I've come to the conclusion I'll settle with the flush mounted standard mesh grill from Custom Car Grills D:

    Yea it's not easy..the 05-11 grills are cake compared to the 2012+ grills. I have plans to help my brother @GARSHA91 with his but after that, don't plan on making anymore..just going to leave it to the master @HomerTaco

    You just have to cut out the middle of the insert, right?

    If you're doing a flush one. Yes. If you want it to be set back. No lol

    That's why I bribed my brother to help me out. He's done it before. I've started but ran into some problems myself and instead of trying and failing multiple times im asking him for assistance.

    I believe it takes a special kind of OCD to make a satoshi
