    I'm trying to find things to do. Got to clean one of my AR15s after the range with Matt yesterday. I need to pick up a few groceries. I can't think of anything else. Maybe move the rock lights around so I actually have all four wheels lit up.

    That’ll look nice, the roof black would look sharp too. Rattle can? Consider a wrap?

    Ahhh rifle cleaning. It’s relaxing. What brand rock lights do you have? Where are you thinking of moving them to?

    Some no-name Chinese ones I got for free. Only 3 out of 4 lights work, so I'm going to move it around so two are up front and one is in the rear

    Ive been thinking i may paint the roof black when the cheap maaco paint job fails inevitably. Will probably do the same paint as on the hood and sliders so its easy to touch up. Still interested in your hood though if you decide to go with a skewpless one! Would like to convert my truck to the 12-15 front end

    Cool, I found a cheap 6 pack on flea bay if you want a link

    Softball sounds like a good time! Good luck, always steal second!

    you know every time I think I want one I look at mine and like it. I just need to color match it already. Know any good, reasonably priced paint shops?

    That's the key, just take your time, heat and stretch it evenly.

    So last time I went out to HF I sliced the sidewall on the front driver’s side tire. It held air for a few days and then decided it didn’t want to anymore. I’ve got a full size spare but that tire is garbage, more of a trail spare than an actual spare. Discount Tire said they couldn't repair it and would warranty the tire out. However, BFG KM2 is on back-order from the factory and not available anywhere. The manager came out and offered a sweet discount on some KM3's and a fair price for my KM2's. So my beat spare is getting replaced with my best KM2, the sliced KM2 is getting replaced for the price of the warranty ($40), and the other three KM2's are getting swapped for KM3's for the price of two new KM3's. So, in essence, buy one get one with 4 brand new tires at the price of two and I got my spare swapped to a tire in much better condition. I think that's a win.

    Yep, same size. Think I've only seen the tire in person once but I think they will as well.
