I wholeheartedly agree on the L.O.D. Off-road bumper/tire carriers. Mine has held up wonderfully and you can’t beat the price point. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Got all of the rattle can paint off of it and started finding nothing but rust and bondo. Was going to replace a panel, but the further I got, the more I found. Hell, the PO put plywood in the floorboard, coved it in bondo and painted over it. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app
