got my insurance quote today ..

:[

this should be a summer only rig so 4 months out of a year will be manageable,

had a cop tell me it wasn't " street legal " also because of the 6" lift...........

dont' like being rebellious but he can get bent . i've seen bigger chevy's and fords running around on a dialy basis .

never drove it stock, it was only like it came from the factory for a week or so .....

i'm shure some high end shocks instead of the rusty's and a rear addco and dual SS it would be pretty drive able.. no death wobble, just feels like it's a cruise liner

They've had a history of bad costumer service and faulty track bars that have led to serious damage. They would take no blame for the damage either. That right there is enough for harsh words and all I said was you get what you pay for.
