RowdyRebel Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 And if you get to work now you can probably build youself a hypothetical tire chain bumper (we know how you like that welder).I've got too many OTHER projects that are a little higher priority right now. I figger if the weather is ever bad enough that I think I might need 'em, there's plenty of places to stow 'em for the day. Probably get something built next summer, though.
