Thanks for the support, putting the tires on is going to be one of my last
steps in my project as is, for the sheer fact I have a good buddy of mine
that lives on a long dirt road..well with my current setup..heads turn when
a Dak goes screaming down that dirt road at 60mph with tinted windows..I
think they are personally just baffled at seeing a new modeled truck run by
;)
I did have a little POS Ranger attempt to rag on me on the turns of a
driveway at my job..of course all I remembered seeing was him bouncing
around and his little thing looked as if it was about to flip. He also hated
to admit they were in the same class as mine took up the entire parking
space and then some, gotta love Dak Intimidation.
