    Yes for sure! I will have some time after next Monday and we will figure out a solution to that issue up there and get it fixed. So just hit me up week and we can lock something in sound good? I think I PMed you my number if not let me know via PM and Ill resend it.
    And I can give your truck a good look over and look for anything else I would recommend and try and give it a clean bill of health, lol.

    Both so there is an Airgas In San Marcos on Grand and also Westair in Escondido I have accts at both, but I go to Westair Escondido location more often just because I feel like they hook me up a little better

    Yup really limits time to do anything else, let alone fab work, not to mention that it takes a lot more time than people think to do stuff right.
    But it will be sooo worth it!!

    Talk to JJ, he's cool and will usually throw a couple stamps on the nitrogen tank (if you have one) refill card.

    Plus the fruit punch they have there is delicious!

    Anyone know of a good San Diego, or SoCal, shop that can build custom coilovers (including body length)? ADS, FOX, or KING preferred.

    Only place I am aware of is Downsouth Motorsports. I know they can do custom shocks, I'd assume they can do coilovers as well.

    Yes, DSM can take care of you. Expect a long wait time especially on custom length shocks. I don't believe they do any in-house Machining so everything would be coming from the manufacturer and that's where your wait time is going to come into play.

    Ads is a fantastic shock. Their craftsmanship and their service are right up there with the best of them. That's what I'm going to be running on the Frank-n-Yota

    Sooo, my baby finally got her first taste of blood. Here is my bumper. Unfortunately, my phone didn't save the pic of the electric kia. Thanks to Pelfrybuilt for making a strong bumper.

    It was a four way stop. The other driver thought I was turning right from the left lane.

    Who's at fault on this one, the person who didn't yield?
