Well those bastards didn’t want to come out. Significantly heavier with the trusses and guts.

They fought back, but fat man power conquers again.

Here in WA they charge a HUGE amount for personalized plates.... It's over $230 per year here to have them.... Not worth it to me.

Yeah, the south tends to be way less. I think it’s like $20 here. I haven’t had this plate since probably 20 years ago in Mississippi.

You can even use symbol characters like $, lol.

Been traveling for work like crazy lately, starting to feel the crunch to be ready for EJS.

Finally broke down and ordered wheels and tires. 17x9 Thret Maze Beadlocks custom cut for 8x170 -14mm, 40" Trail Grapps.

Grabbed all the Barnes heim steering stuff during black friday.

Have to make a decision soon on whether I'm going to bite the bullet and order coilovers. Leaning 3.5 front 5.5 rear MC Dual Rate coils and 14" 5165s for now.
