    Heck in my neck of the woods we got quite a bit. Enough for me to be called in to assist with roads that were getting flooded. Checked the dirt roads today and some were washed out and some places were still muddy. I almost got stuck in the mud with my work truck and got hung up in a washed up area (damn open/open IFS:mad: ) glad I have a winch.

    I'm officially tired of working on the truck.

    Got a 3/16" skidplate sitting in the garage instead of underneath my truck and a front locker that has never been used because I don't have the switches done up.

    Blech.

    Now that the water has subsided, there are marks on the edge of the outside of the garage from the standing water level,

    3-4 Inches of water at the garage door going up to about 1.5" at the step.


    The last picture was one I saw on facebook taken at coors & Paseo

    Really pissy day. Just screwed up trying to cut off a bit of this front lip on the budbuilt.

    Nothing that isn't grindable to make it look better but things are definitely not going smoothly right now.

    I just finished remounting the stock skid to go off-roading tomorrow.

    Yeah Tom that explained it. We can just do some angle iron there and that should do it. Sorry about your shitty day. That sucks bro.

    Not much that could have been helped with. I can't cut in a straight line. The worst part was I veered onto the side of the cut I need to keep.

    After going off-roading tomorrow, stopping off at Lowe's to buy some more blades then finishing it off the best I can. I think there is more than enough that the support will be fine but won't know until I get it test-fitted.

    Kyle, that angle grinder could be of good use to deburr and clean it up as best it can be.
