Well, I have a lift and tranny jack. That speeds things up a bit. That and the beer fridge is only 1 step away

They like Bud light too. I had one on my tailgate while I was doing something else and the little black bastard stole it. I think it was just messing with me though, it didnt drink much.

I posted pics I believe, I think you or Chuck even commented about if I got it too drunk you wouldnt warranty it, he just got a little buzz, and has been doing great ever since. In fact that black tranny is the only thing keeping the whole truck from being set on fire.

I see, you wait until I'm gone to install a tap.


And as far as the black tranny keeping you from setting it on fire, I am just glad mine was black when I got there. I was threatened that it was going to be purple

Yeah it is but at least you gotta tear into the tranny to prove it. If I had showed up and my tranny had been painted to match I would have been pissed! And Mjhoward said he at least thought about it. Knowing him he had some paint that color laying around.

You bet your *** if I had some purple paint and a 12 pack that tranny would have been sexy!
I had one covered, just not the other. Take your guess which one

I think you only had 9 or 10 beers so I am guessing you are stocked up on paint

Cody, what kind of "quality" time are you talking about?
















On the other hand I don't want to know.
