Mine from a few years ago. Pretty mild compared to what all is going on now, but that old truck would still wrap a pyro around

Notice how it thins out near the bottom of the ramp ?

Used to be an Ol' Smokey - - -

Thats about where mine is at minus the grind down low, I tried to keep it stock for the smoke police. Funny the pin is so hard you can get it REAL thin and it still has good integrity.

i took the dremel to mine the other day.
what is the science behind the grinding? i basicly followed the stock shape, just went about as deep as i could.

That's the correct scientific terminology too, I believe.

Why cant you just remove it like a fuel plate on a p-pump? I read somewhere it would leak out of somewhere??
