    1.5" Wheel spacers all around, 2.0 fox coil over with foxes in the back to match it up, add a leaf. 285/70/r16 general grabbers. my magnaflow exhaust k&n intake just threw in some maxtrac spindles. Total chaos UPA. Bunch of other little things
    I just don't want nobody stealing my light so just a lil weld or something so someone isn't able to just unscrew the bolts and rip it off.

    Aluminum housing, steel tabs, stainless bolts. I'll just put a huge ball of jb weld on each side, then wrap it with barbed wire.

    Or you could go with my plan. I'm going to weld a small tube over the screw heads, then a washer on the end of the tube. This will allow you to lossen the screw to adjust or retighten the light, but as long as the tube is short enough they won't be able to back the screw all the way out to remove the light.

    Depends on what you like and where your job is, and where In SD you're gonna move.

    I personally don't like it and am moving in June, the traffic sucks (not as bad as L.A., but worse than the other states I've lived in) and there are certain neighborhoods you learn to avoid.
    The beach gets crowded in summer, particularly Coronado beach which is one of the nicest beaches around.

    Locally we have pancake rock, today truck trail, and a few trails in Ramona/Julian and a few off of the 8 1/2-1 hour east, and corral canyon.
    This has a good list of most of the trails http://www.dirtopia.com/wiki/San_Diego_County,_California

    He is comparing it to SF. Traffic probably won't kill him.

    Anyone have any recommendations for car dealerships (Used or New) in the San Diego area? I am looking to buy a truck within the next couple months.

    I grew up in SF. Love SD. Biggest thing was the lack of green down here. No forests. Weather is way better. I was in the sunset near ocean beach and the ocean beach down here is the most like SF out of any area but I wouldn't want to live there. You won't be disappointed. Girls are WAY better too
