music history 101
So I listen to Mettalica alot on AOL radio and just now looked up the history of the band leading me to Megadeth (symphony of destruction) , and Slayer (cult) , all bands that started around the same point in time and had band members playing for eachother. I guess when Dave Mustaine got kicked out of Mettalica he vowed to make a better band, and Megadeth was born. Dont forget to add Pantera to the mix.
So my gripe is that Orange County does not have one good rock station, my home station Rock 105.3 (San Diego) has not played a single new song since 1997. I feel our generation will be known for less worthy genres of music.

Jan 9th, 2011 -> Putting a Ranger Bumper on a Tundra
Side project today: Putting a Ford Ranger bumper on my Toyota Tundra. I had to make new mounting brackets considering the Tundra rails are 5" wider than the Ranger rails.
I disliked the Tundra with the stock rear bumper so I cut the bedsides and made a tube bumper, and have had that on for about a year. But soon I got tired of that bumper as well, considering I made it in 2 hours, and I prefer to show better work. So I decided to put a much lighter, much smaller doner Ranger bumper on today. enjoy
Below left is my old truck with a bumper that is still my favorite bumper I have made to date.
The narrow bumper looks clean tucked all the way up to the tailgate. I just have to pull out the left side top lip so that it doesn't look like it is sagging.
If you are interested in auto fabrication services, I have a wide variety of project experience: from designing and building utility trailers, to front and rear bumper modifications and fiberglass/bondo repair, to full fabrication of offroad prerunners including pre-fabrication planning and structural design analysis.

Automotive Fabrication
My current long-term project is an automotive design build for a 1994 Ford Ranger pickup.
I really enjoy metal fabrication, so designing this truck into a prerunner allows me to not only work with metal, but also to practice some of those laws of physics, structure, and loads that we learned in Cal Poly architecture school.
