Somebody told me the rules were pretty relaxed - Okay he actually told me you have to either finish your beer or pour it out before your run.

I get in free next week though apparently. A nasty sounding vette showed up about when they called it quits, too bad.

Hate that I missed it. Maybe next week if I can figure out this transmission issue.

Gave it a bath today. Probably the first time in years







Everything is good at 6-8lbs and 10 degrees so I dont really want to push things yet. I may play with the 4wd drive some and add a few gallons of e85 to the tank.

Need to get the windshield replaced at some point, it has a lot of cracks in it. Also my filter elbow should be here Monday; 5.5" to 4" 90*

With those tires is could certainly loose some altitude. I know you are keeping "stock" but I think the tires on a stock height truck stand out much more then those tires on a slightly lowered truck would.

Looks great though. I like the wheel especially. I will defiantly use one similar when I get my truck back on the road. I may have asked before but what adapter kit did you use to mount the steering wheel?

I love the sidesteps

Clean looking truck, inside and out.
