You were posting while I was adding an edit...
ETA: I just put in an order for 4, anyway... I asked for a SWAG lead time, but even the one I get will probably be pretty optimistic compared to when I actually get them...


But no, I don't order the next batch until I get the first order of the next batch... Except this time...

Mike



SO to clarify, you will have 4 more for sale? will they be the powder coated steel ones with the bolt head protectors too?

Got my tax return, so I can fill in some holes I have found in what I want to keep for wheeling. Now the big issue is time between now and then to get all ideas/work completed.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

I am afraid to report that I need to pull my truck out of this trip. I am sorry to admit that due to a dumb mistake I am going to be unable to drive for a while. I am however, still hoping to be able to ride along and be able to learn. I am hoping to be able to ride out with Hardtrailz, however am looking for someone that will have a spare passenger seat on the trails since Kyle will have Barton MD with him.

I am ashamed to say yes. I blew .1 and Indiana is a .08 state. I felt perfectly fine to drive, and really didn't think I had had that much to drink, but I know everyone says that. The sh**y part is that the reason they pulled me over wasn't because I was speeding or swerving or any of that, it was because "they heard my truck peal out when I left the bowling ally." Now I don't know about any of your trucks, but mine, without a tune and 31.5" tires, can't break the tires loose no matter what I try to do. The truth behind it is that the LEO's in that town have a reputation of watching the bars and drinking spots and pulling people over as they leave.

Sorry to hear that, man. Hindsight is 20/20 and I am sure we have all done something like that at one time in our lives. Don't let anyone ostracize you for being human. Hope you can make some kind of a deal, cause that charge is expensive.

Dont be ashamed. The system doesnt work well to begin with. Im irish so it should be 2.0 instead of .08 for me hahaha. But I drive prof., so I almost always avoid driving even after 1 beer.

Ok you're on the list... you'd better make it this time. Although, I understand it's a long drive for you.

We'll see. I'm hoping we can do a TECORE this fall.
