That should work, deer season here usually doesn't start until the last week in Sept, or the first week in October. So I shouldn't miss anything important.

Not the final product, but close. May be able to get them in white/red carbon fiber vinyl, but those wouldn't be freebies that sh!t's expensive!
Dropped ortb part cause most of us don't need it on our trucks 20 times!

I want to go, just for the sticker. And all the rest of the fun, of course.

I no longer need to have them made, I have full access to a cutter, so now I can sit down and design what I want and cut it!

Silverado and Colorado are one thing but we can't be seen with a Ford! Plus that thing weights a shitload, it'll take all of us to tow it when (not if) it breaks down...:mrgreen:

I've pulled a modified one out before. 4 door crew cab, 8 foot bed, bumpers and winch, on 37 M/T's pushing 9800 pounds. He BROKE his front hubs for the third time and lost 4x4 and got stuck. You know, just being a ford.

. ROFLMAO

Like I said above the ford is a work truck, If I were to take it I wouldn't have a job at AT&T when I got back. I don't think my TB would be lifted or anything by that time anyhow. I don't think anyone wants to drag my sorry stock TB around the trails. Haha Lol
