Great to hear the foot is healing, I know that has been a long battle for you. It is amazing how loud these trucks can be without exhaust or a leak in just the right area. I still get shocked at what I see on Previous Owners repair jobs. Seems like they go thru more trouble and cost to do it wrong instead of doing it correct.

I tried to call you. I found one good panel on the drivers side. It does have a little rust hole on the very rear. He will take $50 for the panel. Not sure about shipping on it and if it would need cut down. The dents would pop out real easy.
Other one is crunched up pretty good. If interested call me some night.

Oh man. I'm sorry to hear that you went through that. I've done quite a few BKA and AKA and I feel weird every time I do them. To take off a foot or half a leg sometimes even an entire leg is just an odd feeling. Because you know they won't ever be the same. So sorry you went through that buddy. Wish you well and hope you make a full recovery. on that note how was your thanksgiving brotha?

Cyber - wow, I remember reading about your foot problems, no idea it would get this bad. Hopefully the new prosthetic will give you back your mobility. You've got a great attitude about it. Anyhow, that is a killer light for $20?? Let's see a pic of it mounted when you get a chance.

You got a steal on those lights.
I'm glad you're feeling better and out driving the 4Runner. 2016 sucked in many ways. Happy New Year a little late.

the prosthetisists wish they could get drs to leave more as its easier to make a leg for someone with a longer shin than 7 inch end of the stump is all healed nice a solid the calf muscle continues to shrink which is why amputees need adjustments for years
i need to put that idler arm on her too lol got it in a box in my room
