Hey AlaskanEx, Who makes the front light bar you have? I've been thinkin' about fabbing one up but if the price is right, I'll save the time.

PS, great pic of you with the reindeer.

My God man, I hope your dad recovers soon and with as little pain as possible. No joke about the curse though, maybe you need to become a Mopar man. Time to attorney up and see what the school district is willing to settle for.

Dude.....

I was eating some breakfast at work reading this thread, as soon as I saw your explorer, my heart sank.

The truck can be replaced, but our loved ones can't...wish your dad a speedy recovery!
