Nah, it's the real deal...I actually have a heavy duty garbadge bag covering it to help it from gettin any junk in it and to make it a little less conspicuous.

Unfortunately I'm gonna have to pass on e-town right now, just a little too much going on. I'm still pretty sore and uncomfortable from my surgery, plus my wife and I are trying to buy her cousin's house that we're currently renting, and we've got alot of paperwork to get together and people to meet with and guys coming by to do assessments, etc. Tom's stuck at home too as he's watching his son because his wife has to work that night. I'm bummed because I was looking forward to seeing if you're gonna get 13's after those heads! Maybe you can take some video

Back when I had a stock motor with the nitrous if I got on it at anything below 15mph it would just spin the tires bad or ata drop from 35-40 to first it would spin bad but with 4wd it was fun to play with the ricers/camaros/vettes/muffstangs I could take most up to ~80-100 then I got my *** handed to me by the stouter cars but in town when you race from a dig to ~50-60 it was so badass spinnin all four for 3-4 feet and puttin it on em quick while they were fighting for traction plus you know that Z71 sticker on the back will just kill when they see it pass them
Thanks man, that's a great way to look at it Too bad I removed my Z71 stickers...but, I think I may have a set that are green that I bought and never installed...I could make them into magnets just for racing

Then I could make a magnet for the tailgate that says "You just got beat by a 4x4 truck"

Here's an idea for how to get some use out of it until you put in the truck!



If it's a rain out Wednesday, I could probably go to E-town Friday night. My wife is working again, but the little guy will be with the grandparents.

Sounds good Tom, I hope to go Wednesday. I have Friday off so I will be . If it does rain on Wednesday I will have to go Friday, so the will have to wait until after.

Man that is a cool coffee table.
