Wow! I'm not even sure I would trust a 16" aro with 2" dats. But congrats on the pick up and get them guys growing. Dat fever is a tough one to get over. I have 4 widebars right now and every time I see them for sale I want to buy more...if it weren't for my wife, I'd have at least a dozen of them...:naughty: :naughty: :naughty:
