OHhhh man that pic with that kid under that thing just freaks me the fugg out. I don't like that ****. I hate that ****. I'll be having fuggin nightmares now. Just not fuggin cool !!! NEVER FUGGIN EVER ASK A KID TO STAND UNDER A VEHICLE to act as if it's cool. NEVER !!!

It just strikes a nerve with me. My daughters mother has a cousin who was in a lifted truck and backed over his kid in the driveway and killed him instantly. Later that night, he couldn't handle what he'd done to his son and he committed suicide with a letter requesting to be buried with his son in the same grave. So that family lost 2 loved ones in one night.

Before that incident, I had an incident myself letting a car roll back out of driveway to lift a garage door. A 2 1/2 yo family friend, seen me get in the car, but wanted his ball under the car. The motor wasn't running, so he thought it was safe. The car rolled back up his hand and arm all the way to his head and his head was like a wheel chock. Luckily I was just rolling the car back a couple feet and had stopped the car not even realizing it was on top of this kid. Thank God, other than the tire tread mark up his arm and on his cheek, no broken bones or permanent damage. Young kids are like rubber balls thankfully.

I"ve raised my kids, YOU NEVER play in a driveway behind cars. You never play behind cars, you never leave a bike or toys behind cars. And don't let your friends do it either.

I think I've about given up on a K5 and just going to be a Burb. I actaully prefer a Burb anyway. The only reason I want a K5 is to take the top off, but I prefer the length of a Burb. Even when you do see an affordable K5, the thing a junk yard bound POS. I actually prefer a 3/4 ton drivetrain anyway. Maybe I'll find a K20/2500 Burb or a Nice K10/1500 Burb that I can swap the 3/4 ton axles into.

I wish Jims was closer dammit. I still want it but.... Hopefully Jim has his wife talked into keeping it anyway. I think Jims hot ticket to sell the wife is to go for the 4L80-e conversion with controller like 1Low did to his truck. The bad part is the initial conversion cost.

:rofl: I was being serious about calling the guy. I thought maybe he'd have a full width one and maybe even a different color that would go better with Silvy. A Smoke one would look cool with the silver.

I saw one of those a few weeks ago. First one I've seen in years.

A full width smoke one would look good on Silvy.

Unfortunately it's not a full width one. But I'm hoping I can find one before we meet.
