    Don't worry about that, the King sticker pulls bitches, the FOAs leave you with enough money to take them to a classy restaurant, like Sizzler.

    Bed cage looks good so far, what are your plans for the upper shock-mounts?

    he told me that when he came to pick up the files, looks like christmas came early for him haha

    so what made you change your mind on your rear cage structure? In all honesty I like the design of the first one better...

    p.s. sweet rear crossmember lol

    well i built it before we did the frame notch
    so the a pillar/down tube didnt land exactly in middle of the notch
    so i couldnt mount my bump can where i wanted to
    it would have worked i guess
    but there was some shit talking that i didnt want to deal with
    and im pretty stoked with this new bed cage anyway
    im just not sure what to do about spares and rear bumper

    now that i look at it its actually in about the same spot haha
    there were also a few gaps that id rather not talk about
    and the a pillar would have been really close to the bypass
    might even have hit it
