Hey Frank I need to talk at you about that rear spring spacer again. I had it saved on the forum but you know how that goes. Let me know the part number again so I can order the right ones. Thanks, UberWagon

I've seen the black RMW in person. I've never drooled over a RM until I saw Franks. 2.5 don't do it justice, this fleet deserves 6 stars.
