Check this out in the FAQ I am also a huge fan of big bumpers but there is a reason to ditch the damage multiplier! There are a lot of other low pro options to keep the stock look too

Brush guards are Damage Multipliers

My weekend started off crappy. Tonight I had to run my 11 year old Catahoula to the emergency vet to have her put down. She was diagnosed with cancer in her nose on Wednesday. She wasn't in pain and thought they could manage it. She took an abrupt turn for the worst tonight. She got a ceremonial ride in my 80 and wagged her tail the whole way. My son and I were going to take her on our trip in the 80 next month. As a last hoorah. Let her breathe the mountain air, eat some fresh rainbow trout, and frolick in the snow. Wasn't meant to be.

My 80s are filled with memories. Not all of them are good. This falls in to the latter.

She was a damn good dog.

@LS1FJ40 Ugh, dude that sucks. So tough to lose a good friend and companion. Been there too. Looks like she was a cool dog.

That's heart breaking, so sorry for your loss, beautiful dog. Sorry you and she didn't get that last breath of mountain air together but she undoubtedly had a great life with you. I'm sure she would thank you for that and putting her best interests first all the way to the end.

Man, thats terrible news. So sorry to hear this. Best wishes to you and the family and for more awesome memories to come in the 80(s)

 

[sleepycruiser]

@LS1FJ40 Sorry to hear about your dog. That is never easy. She will be with you in the mountains in spirit.

 

[IanB]

@LS1FJ40 That's crappy about your dog, she was beautiful. How old was she?

 

[LS1FJ40]

Thanks y'all. She was 11 or 12ish. She was a rescue from Hurricane Rita. So she had a good run. But man, this is rough.

Sorry for the non tech, everybody. This just hit me like a ton of bricks.

Damn good dog.

That's so sad. The adage, man's best friend, that's real stuff. Sorry about your loss.

Sorry to hear about your dog, man.

 

[Matthew Spencer]

Well that just sucks! The hardest part of pet "ownership" is out living them. I am so sorry for your loss of a good friend.

My wife and I drove all over Franconian Switzerland, where I picked up some kind of vibrational metallic noise at low speeds while turning. Will pry put it on a lift next week and check it out.

While we were there, we found a BJ40

Cool looking rig with the usual issues.

It rained buckets during our two day long walk, and by the time we got to the end, we took this artistic picture, in which I used a rain melted cough drop filter to get an extremely soft effect.

My wife is amazing for putting up with me. Have I said that before?

Damn good dog.

I'm sure no worries about the non-tech in this case. Like I said so many dog lovers here. Google the dogs last will and testament to help put it into perspective.
