    ha ha yep. Got sick of working on them for other people and decided to use my degree and have the ability to get one for myself. Except now I don't care much about them and am looking to buy a vacation home in the mountains

    Out of the 3 I'd take the mesojdm truck. It's probably worth almost as much as the other two with all the custom work.

    Good choice. I can only imagine how anal the owners can be. Luckily my Dad is the opposite, he will pull up to th 99cent store and hop out in flip flops(true story)

    yeah man, just stopped being fun. When I first started in my early 20's, it was a cool ass job. Wrenching on high end exotics and having full access to a beautiful air conditioned shop for my own projects. But all that quickly wore off, become exceptionally routine and in no way challenging. Same problems on each model. Took almost zero diagnosis. Read RO, know right away what problem is... Take test drive, flog the piss out of it, confirm issue, pull into my bays, take five minutes to fix, clean tools, dick around, repeat... every single day.

    Yeah lights behind the grill are a little tacky to me IMO. With the letters dark camo they will blend in just enough to be stealth, but upon closer inspection the detail will stand out:D

    WAYY late to this party. What did I miss? Better yet I'll get caught up, you keep building and we'll meet on the flip side (looks outstanding so far).

    Gracias :hattip:


    Well, what would have been a 5 min job to adjust my coilovers turned into a nightmare....:boom:
    Went by my parents to use the lift( just needed to lift the front end up a foot to remove preload).

    Long story short, No one told me the air in the hydraulics needed to be bled so it shot straight up to maximum height. I nearly shit myself as it catapulted in the air. Luckily my beef steel skid/bumper took the beating and caught the arms..otherwise it would have been worse.
    No this was NOT planned:frusty:
    [​IMG]

    Bumper was tweaked a tad so we rednecked it back in place. All is good.
    Shoutout to @EddyRRT for a solid product

    I was over the truck fiasco so I decided to work on the Grom Build.
