Which stacks did you go with? I ordered a set of 7" mitres from Grand Rock 2 weeks ago and still not here

Anyway, put up a pic for all of us to enjoy. I planned on putting a little 1/8 or 3/16 hole at the bottom, but the flex should let water drain as well.

Stainless flex is worth its weight in gold. It is the only thing I will put on customers trucks at work. Also put it on with a little never seize for the repeat customers.

Yea, I learned quick, but the gf didnt...the other day she opened both drivers doors and started it cold, soot all over. Then she put the baby seat on the ground in the soot and then on the back seat. Then she started to yell at me because the truck smokes and gets soot all over...hows that work??

It starts when you give her her own set of keys, or she takes your's. 130k miles, my wife hasn't started it yet.

Haha, yea she just grabbed mine off the fridge and started it. I wont let her drive it anymore...last time she spilled a drink all over the dash and center console and didnt bother tellin me about it and didnt clean it up so now its a big sticky mess all over

Told her she isnt mature enough to drive it...that didnt go over very well but apparently its the truth!!
