As far as fabricating, anyone who wants to do it has to start somewhere, and why not do it on something non life threatening like light tabs (unlike our friend, Mr. Van Meter).

Just because you wouldn't do this to your truck doesn't mean other shouldn't do it to theirs. You'd probably all be gasping for air based on some of the things I've done to my Frontier, but every mod there is functional, as are this kid's light tabs. I too don't much care about paint on a wheeler. That's what they made Herculiner for.

3-4 years ago, many of you thought you were doing "serious" wheeling too in your first 4x4, the Xterra....on the crap highway tires, no lift, etc. You put on an ARB bumper or a set of sliders and thought you all had bad ass rigs. And guys on other 4x4 boards all laughed at you because you thought you were hard core. Funny how it's all turned around.

The reason the truck probably doesn't have gnarly tires, armor, lift, etc, is because this is a 19 year old kid who probably can't afford all that crap now. So he's having fun with what he has.

Who cares who bought it for him. Granted, I don't think you learn as much about responsibility and the cost of things when mommy and daddy foot the bills for you, but there isn't anyone here who would have turned mommy and daddy down if they were buying you a late model 4x4.

Now carry on. Despite how ugly you all get towards people who have differing opionions and priorities, this has been fun reading.

Oh, one last thing....If this kid was related to MVM, the lights, tabs, and probably the whole damn hatch would have fallen off by now. [LOL]
I agree to a certain extent. My truck is an eyesore. I think the problem and Carlton pointed out is all the other stupid shit he has suggested.
