Are those knuckles quick-release???:D

Those aren't brass knuckles, it's a paper weight---

At least that's what the guy called em' when I bought a pair.....

not meaning to hi jack the painting part of the thread, but do you have any more pics on the expanded metal grille, and how you made it(mounted it up..)

If it helps, here's Glen's (Depdog on here) old write up from ORC. I think it was written about 5 yrs ago, but I doubt anything has changed: http://www.off-road.com/chevy/tech/customgrill/

They should be- actually these are Tennessee Ernie Ford Sixteen Tons or Big Bad John sized so that they have a greater visual impact. 3/8" steel plate and about 7" diameter
 
Sure you'll see me around, it's a pretty small town in size (thinks it's a lot bigger than it really is) I think you'll like it here. Most people seem to, but I've got conflicting feelings on Reno. It's the number one housing bubble in the country, yet there really isn't a lot here. Maybe I'm just a jaded native, but I don't see what the big hullaballoo is about :confused: Weather is actually decent this year, and you see quite a variety- from 20" of snow in winter to 105 degree heatwaves. Close to a lot of good wheeling, except the growth explosion is quickly cutting off every off-road entrance. Housing developments are now blocking old public trails, it really peeves me off :mad: One of the lowest median incomes in the country, highest suicide rates, lowest education, among the largest number of illegal aliens, fastest growing (meaning services have fast been outpaced), etc. An OK place to live if you have a good paying job and live near it. Not sure how everybody else makes it here, cost of living is Los Angeles level with barely any income or benefit levels.

You can tell I'm not mad at Reno or anything :rolleyes:

You are not the first person that has told me that stuff about Reno. I'm still going to move there because I've got a good paying job and a place to stay already lined up. Plus, I need to get out of California because of all the stuff that has happened to me here. I'm sick of it.
