at first i was like... what... snow in so cal? then i thought to my self "oh ya, we have the grapevine" fu*k the grapevine it sucks *** to drive because everyone passes me cause my truck dogs on it haha or when its closed and my trip from l.a. to here is way longer because i have to go all the way around thru the tehachapi (sp?) . oh well right on and gotta love bringing home a bed full of snow.

yea it looks like they are going to have to cut out the whole back side of my cab on the driver side along the weld that starts in the door and wraps around the back of the cab about 1/4 of the way.. then re weld it back on.... about $1700
