Default I got new toys

Welp.....havent posted anything in a while. So here we go.

Local craiglist score. Thought they were pretty cool. Didnt find any like em in a quick google search, although I found some mopar branded hellas that were kinda cool. And for 45 bucks you cant beat KC's



Then the rims for my new axles. 16.5x10 aluminum progressives. I like em. I dont like solid colored trucks, and since my truck will be mostly black(with a bit of a twist), I didnt want all black rims. But I kinda hate chrome.....so this was a happy compromise.

Ive got a couple finishing touches to put the rear axle together. Then its on to the front. Havent really gotten anything done with it lately. Deer season and fixing the jeep and cruiser have kinda taken all my time. That and fixing my parents tahoe and accord has been time consuming. If anyone asks you to fix the hinge on a tahoe kick em in the nuts and run away. No....Im not kidding.

Finally...for those of you who enjoy hunting, or like wildlife, heres a pic of my ugly mug and my rifle buck. I was very happy with him, it was a great hunt and hes a very cool hybrid. Hybrids dont get as large(rack wise) as purebreads, so hes actually a very impressive animal. Hes also got about a 9" drop tine which is something Ive been hunting for for years. If anyone is offended pm me and Ill take it down.

Nice! Are those the lights they originally put on top of the dakota sport... the ones that would have come on the light bar I got?

I'm not familiar with a "hybrid." Exactly what are they? Looks good though! Definately a big one (at least it would be in my area).

I have no idea where they came from, or what they came off. I figured for the price they were cool. They are huge, and put out some impressive light. They are actually a little larger than my headlights.

A hybrid is a cross between a whitetail and a mule deer. I love "wierd" racks....and his definitely counts as wierd. You can see the drop tine coming off his left main beam by my zipper.

Gotcha. That is an impressive kill. You should post that up in "the great outdoors" section of offtopic...

Nice find and catch! I didn't get to go hunting this year! At least I should be camping out maybe next month. We can't wait to see that truck finished. Guarantied when you do we will nominate you for DOTM, and will win!

Lol. My dehydrator is running on overdrive. I suppose I could be conned into tossing some into the box with your parts.

And I guess crazy won the guess since the rest of the forum are party poopers.

Lol. This is one of four I shot in rifle season. I would much rather eat deer than beef. So yeah....Ive got a little in the freezer.
