I didn't know the dump was closed on Holidays, so I'll try throw that junk away on Monday.

**lolife99** · 12-31-2011, 08:02 PM

I don't need another truck,... but this one would go good with my blazer.

Nate, what a nice jester.

**jocko** · 01-02-2012, 04:07 PM

I really like the re-painted plates! Dumb question, but is it illegal to repaint newer CA plates in black and yellow? (I know yours started as black/yellow) but am just curious. Can't imagine why CA would care, it'd still be the correct numbers and letters, etc and would have current tags (if I did that).... Hmmmmmmmmmm

Love this new truck by the way, can't wait to see how it develops. Quite jealous of your buddy bucket stash, by the way.

Thanks, I just removed the Bardon bumper and what a big improvement, technically you're not suppose to touch your license plates at all, but I've never been one to follow the rules.

Wish I still had that stash of seats, I could use one right now.

**jocko** · 01-02-2012, 04:32 PM

technicalities, schmechnicalities.... (but I know I'd be the first person in history to be busted for it, I just know it!)

I thought you had a stash of buckets to choose from, but it would appear you've had plenty of opportunities to use them before! Ha! No wonder I can't find a 72 short wide....
