Guess I'm gonna be "that guy"...yes, it is a kick *** build. Your build would be kick *** too, if you threw tens of thousands of dollars at it. But, I just can't watch that show anymore, even their "budget builds" have become high dollar projects. I really feel that they've lost their roots, and just gone corporate, and throw money at projects, with a ton of bolt on parts. Used to get excited on Sunday mornings to watch, now it's off my DVR. I'm glad they helped a service member out who had a bad hand dealt to him, but I'm overall done with that show...

LOL...guess I just miss the days when it was geared more towards people on a limited budget, and not the JK crowd. My pockets are only so deep, LOL
