Seriously i can't catch a break. The only GOOD thing to happen to me in the last month is Ryan with the sct. Otherwise Murphys Law applies everyday.

Little brother drove it like this 3 block to school to drop my sis off, calls me and tells me, then proceeds to drive it back. Then my mother DEFENDS him. I may as well buy a whole set because i can't trust the spare for more than 20 miles and the other 3 have 36k miles on em.

Its that time. Get yourself some nice A/T's peppy.

My Dakota m/ts are still holding up strong but I'll agree Cooper makes a damn good tire for the price. That's what my dad runs on his in the all terrains.
So, for ag mech if I pay for materials I can keep what I build in the class. Really debating paying to build a heavy duty bumper for the truck.

My teacher has a bumper on his truck that students in the class made for him and it looks really nice. I'll take a pic of it next time I see it. It really just depends on the cost of materials. I'll talk to him later in the year when we go back into the shop about what my options are as far as what we can build. Whole class has to finish the OSHA test before we can even step foot in the shop

Highlight the truck accessories and put it back on his desk and say "This is all I want to do."

Holy thats some money.. lol

Sadly yes. I don't trust my spare so i pulled from my savings to pay for these. I could have gotten some Cooper Discoverer AT/3s :flipthebird:for 600 but looking at these pro comps just gave me that warm fuzzy feeling. So **** it im getting pro comp:roflsquared:

So, update on the truck:
Insurance is paying $2200. We are replacing the grill, bumper and fender as new parts. He is going to try to fix the hood. The insurance company is paying for new brackets for the light bar and will replace the grill guard but I'm taking the grill guard off the list because I'm gonna build a bumper or something in my class.
My family runs a custom tshirt business and we are bartering with him, shirts for a paint job. The paint job will last a couple years so it's no premium paint job but it'll look better than it does now. I'm excited about it

Too bad it says the STT Pros are out of stock in that size, still cheaper than the Pro Comps lol.
