Hmm, you're right, my accent is insane. Hope it gets better this summer when I'm in Canada...

Canada eh? And yeah, I assumed since you are German you'd have a bit of an accent speaking English... Same thing if I were to go to the UK though I'd have a Canadian accent lol. Coming to Ontario?

TOPIC:

Have you come up with a plan for supports?

Hi,
I`ll go to British Columbia, so, it`s a bit far to go to Ontario...

Also interested in the supports...

No idea what to do for the supports, it's pretty strong as it is. Won't hold up to climbing over boulders or anything but it's strong for what it is. There is a pattern in it that makes it stronger than just any piece of sheet metal that's really weak. This is meant to be a skid plate I think.

Still don't have my bumper brought up yet, hate having it dropped down like it is now. Going to have to drill an extra hole in the frame or something. 31's are producing a lot of road noise and I'm loving it. Still got to find a way to get some better gas mileage all the same..

Took on doing a custom looking grill in the front, not looking to bad so far but I always seem to run out of daylight with not having a garage. I'm building one this summer because I hate not being able to work at night.
