I've got a white fron clip sitting out in front of the shop, if you want to drive a plain old white 1st gen. For a minute there I thought you were coming to take out my stump, until you turned on Cherry Ave.

Do you have sound deadening in your cab? It sounds quite quiet. Nice Video!

Smooth ride. Mine rides like a tank. Put a few hundred pounds of tile or something in the bed and it makes it nice.

I have been meaning to make a driving video of my truck so you all can see how laggy the HX40.18cm2 setup is and how little boost there is. Maybe I'll do one this weekend.
