haha sounds fun, if i but tube doors on mine im going to put holes in the floor with bath tub drain plugs to drain the water out. i live by the mojave river so the water runs out of the mountains and thru the spill way so we have a river to play and get stuck in

ha, i know that feeling, no front license plate here or flat tires or whatever and your getting stopped, unless your within 10-15 miles of my house because the cops that patrol my neighborhood are the same people i go wheelin with

I just took a metal bracket for hanging lumber on say a wall or what ever and added a 3" mirror with sticky backing bolted to the door hinge for my "legal mirror" so they can't technically say anything.

it sounds cool but the 2 local wheelin spots that are closed to the public are patrolled by cops in the next town over, its shut down because of the gang bangers and people dumping trash,
