    Yes it is. the only time i ever had my truck to the shop, was to get it painted.
    and then i took my drive shaft to get shortened when i lowered it more. but i've done everything else myself.

    Yeah I don't want to trust a 'certified' mechanic. I would rather do my own shit because I know it gets done right and not half ass plus you get experience when you do all your own shit too.

    yes sir. long ass drive, getting saved from a superspeeder ticket by a $60 dollar radar detector and pure luck, dicking around in bass pro shops, a freakin awsome staff at a amazing scrap yard, and some of the most epic country side houses and scenery made it a blast. the fact that i got a good short block for so cheap made it that much better. they even had it stripped down and ready to go for me 1 hour before i got there. i will def suggest Mccarthy auto salvage to everyone and it was worth the trip

    Sooo....I could trade my 18x9 et35 Work Meisters



    For 18x9, and 18x10 VOLK GTP. These are in a lot better shape than my Meisters and would require no restoring..

    What do you think?

    These:

    They really do look 1 piece. The center piece is pressed into the barrel I believe.

    Not sure if I'm going to polish them up with black center, re-sell for profit, or paint them white with blue work stickers. They do need restoration in any case.
