well I am out for a while.... LCA on the passenger side at the unibody is ripped.

3/4" "up" and 1-1/4" inboard....

plus I just called around and to see what the cost of welding would be.

Cheapest I got was $75 per half hour, and a half hour minimum charge.

most shops were $80-$115 per half hour for any welding...

I can probably buy steel cheaper than that...

Since I cant afford long arms either I am parked now....

this **** sucks lol

There's a good trail that's right below where those pictures were taken that leads to some good singletrack. I like the Dona Ana's too, I helped make some of those trails a few years ago.
