I'm down to do some installs. Don't know how much I can bring to the table but it never hurts to have an extra hand.

Eh just me essentially tearing my truck apart and installing all this crap I bought. Or we could all just crash Fred's place and actually have a party. Don't know how his wife will like that haha.

Hide yo kids hide yo wife.

Y'all are more than welcome. Got a two bay garage, and plenty of room. The wife is cool about this kinda stuff. Keeps me out of her hair.

Plus my brakes and pads should be here soon as well.

Shit it is only 70 miles from Norfolk to Richmond.

C'mon...

For all intensive purposes make sure you have the required gear in your truck. Dont rely on us repeat eventors to bail you out.

you dont know who will be in front or behind you, if you have new people in front and back, and they dont have gear either, well then it becomes a cluster %uck getting recovery gear.

If your unsure wether or not to buy a kinetic recovery rope or just a strap. Buy the strap, they are inexpensive. A kinetic rope used incorrectly can become very dangerous in a hurry.

Also, do not use a "hook" that slides into your hitch to pull someone out. Those are only fillet welds and are not rated for the forces required for recovery of a vehicle. Stick with shackles and the pull loops on the front back of the truck.

The more you carry yourself the less you have to rely on others.
