Good afternoon. I've been working on a custom bumper for my Jeep. Needs to hold a spare tire and 2 5 gallon jerry cans.

Now let's be nice.

So it's looking like my SD will be making its first appearance at the CT August GTG. It's looking like I might be showing up to July's in Pinkie.

Brian knows Pinkie quite well, but none of you other guys have met Pinkie yet.
