Default Times like this you'd wish you had airbags

This is when having an air suspension would come in handy. Although I did have a full size spare in my trunk, unfortunately, I forgot to bring my factory lugs with me I was just about to exit to get to work, literally 1 min away! Talk about being late for work. Atleast Houston traffic was already done with haha.

LMAO!!!! Why can't each city have dropped car friendly trucks?! I even requested for a tow w/ a flatbed after I spoke w/ my insurance. That's a good one, bro! My girl and I couldn't stop cracking up!

That bumper.. looks so bleh,

I think everyone who is lowered should have a quick way to remove their bumper. My bumper is only held on by 6 bolts 4 under the hood and 2 where the bumper and fender meet.

Why use factory lugnuts? Better to use whats there just to get you to point B without this happening! My car didnt come with factory lugs, so not sure why they are absolutely needed. ANYthing to hold the tire on IMO (again temporary just to get you to where you need)

I've used aftermarket acorn nuts with factory rims. Just make sure you get them to the correct ftlb
