buddy you are missing a bolt, put one in before it falls out (like your front shaft)
ROFL
hey uhh, did you make one for snafu and one for 83lux??? if not then you are not a very good mate, and they should charge you to pull your junk out of bogholes when you get stuck. They will be cruising by as they have better rigs!
1 tow = 1 Crossmember (rates increased due to rudeness at time of manufacture)
But seriosuly, looks sweet, and the bends are in the right spot which is good for strength! |
