That'll be easy for the plow driver to spot.

:gay
Just kidding, Eric. That thing is pretty bad ass.
ah yes, the jersey shore crap is starting its rounds. havent watched the show but can only imagine the carnage and stupidity that goes on
Kelly, that show is so stupid its funny. I love pointless reality television, so this fits the bill. Picture Real World meets every show that airs on VH1 with a guido twist.
Crash painted the box, looks better then in the photo for some reason photobucket really messed with the color.
Some of you guys live very paranoid lives.
all you need now is a harley to complete the look
like the colors dude
:thumbsupQuote:

Cement post, cement base, cement everything.. If they screw it up, make sure it screws them up.
My granfather took huge pieces of rebar (sp?) and drove two pieces into the ground and formed a X in front of his mailbox. He got pissed off at people driving through his ditch for fun and creaming his mailbox. They tried it several nights later but didnt get away cause that rebar X got caught up in their undercarriage and had to be towed off with a wrecker
We've had a mailbox like that for years and never had a problem :confused I even live on the northside haha
I love it.
I am making the post at work, 1/4 thick by 4 x 4 and 72 inches long, will be buried 3 feet into the ground and I will be pouring concrete. I'm not worried about vandalism, if it happens then I repaint my mailbox. Thats what insurance is for.
The color makes it look orange, its actually a very red RED and 2 diff. shades of blue

I would check your local laws or codes about what your able to make it out of. I've heard this can be illegal because the post is to be able to breakaway for safety reasons. Also the homeowner can be held liable for the damage to the vehicle if it is not made to breakaway. I don't know that it is a fact, but I would check it out first to be on the safe side. May vary from city to city.
Hate to say it, but there's truth in that ^^ I forgot all about it.
There is a local guy who has a mailbox made from a SBC i believe. Looks really cool!!
Looks good. I wonder when the post is coming that some punk ass kid destroyed it. Bunch of buddies of mine have had boxes like that and asshole kids have used them as batting practice.Quote:
