I must be crazy

Not #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& crazy with a sawzall but... Tonite I was out in the driveway drilling holes in a bumper of a vehicle I jut picked up less tham 5 hrs ago. This was on my Dodge so I know the welded ring is crooked that holds the tubes. It took me a while back then to figure out why it looked slightly crooked.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Niiiice Ride!

naaaah yer not crazy...
I know a guy who bought one just like that, same color and all, 3 years ago, and with 53 miles on the truck was driving it thru the salt water puddles on the inside trail at Nauset... THAT is Crazy!
don't worry about the bumpers, GM bought him new ones after two years

Best of luck with the new ride Mac!

No slide in for this one. My main thing was gas mileage. I am getting an average of 17.9 combined. Much better than under 12 the dodge was gettting.

Worm out the high side so's it comes down.
Them pipes look high watch out for tree branches.
People see me driving all over the road from one spot to the next with one eye on the traffic an one n the tree's they think I'm drunk.
I would cut em down.
Good luck with the new ride looks sweeet.

Triples only for me from now on.
