Special Thanks From Owner:
To Patrick Kennedy, Kenny Dean, Kris Abrahamson, Jeremy Stanley, and Joe Besceglia of Pro Trucks for not ripping the paint off my wheels while mounting the tires. Last but not least, to my parents who sup-ported me throughout the whole build and put up with the late nights raising hell in the garage running the compressor, Sawzall, and grinder. I could not have done it without their support.
