    Speaking of welding, you should totally pick up some gas. I got a 40CF tank for $120 from roberts, and it's the best shit ever! Totally worth it, and the welding wire is way cheaper too.

    This is what I was referring to. Fitment was fine, but with all the shit in the way, grinding off paint without tearing into the wiring harness was difficult. And it's a tight spot to weld in general.

    Aden, Culpepper, and Winchester were always stacked. I think they are hiding them from the rest of us heathens.

    Gotta get yourself a Middleburg girl to really win though.

    It really isn't. I don't know if you've seen one of these double shear kits in person, but it's not something I would attempt to build on my own. Just requires too much precision to get it all lined up.

    Bummer about the girl man...I bet if you went cold turkey on texting her altogether she would hit you back sooner than you think. That said though, I'm always down to spoil myself or truck I mean.

    I don't know if sarcastic or serious, but this is what we're talking about here. Fuuuuuck attempting to make that one my own, when I can just buy it for $90 and save the headache.

    I agree with Randy here. I would pay for it, not build it.


    But @inesshell reminded me of some other things that I need over this.. like TC race LCAs :bananadead:

    So @Justanotherhemi my V day will be spent saving my $ for the above hidden item. Maybe use a whole packet of flavor on the ramen

    Yea. And @Gunshot-6A a middleburg girl has the $$$$ for horse racing. *reactivates tinder*

    But actually I don't need a girl. Give me a spicy ramen, some wings/tacos, AND MY DAMN TRUCK BACK! And im good.


    Also, i applied to some jobs in SLC. Might need a basement to stay in :pray:

    Yeah, my mom and my sister used to compete in the Middleburg races among other places. My sister is actually a really accomplished rider. So much money though.

    I've got a couch you can crash on any time. What places in SLC did you apply to? May be able to activate the homie network for you a bit.

    Also, that ramen looks bomb.com. Bring some of that over when you come visit.

    I actually don't remember, and need to look back on indeed to where I applied. I am not sure that SLC has much in my field - back office banking/IT

    SLC has a hugely growing tech sector. Lots of financial opportunities as well. Goldman Sachs opened an office here not too long ago if you needed any convincing of that.

    I'm an accountant / financial analyst for a living. The opportunity is out there, just gotta find an in. BYU cranks out accountants all day long, so you have the local crowd to compete with. Lots of jobs, but fierce competition.

    I do the same. I almost exclusively TW while at work too. I save my personal time for fun stuff like riding bikes, and being a hoodrat.
