All the pics look great. If you ever need help with those pics Scotte let me know. One day when I'm over remind me and I can show you how to do it. For that matter, anyone in the chapter having 'puter difficulty, sometimes I work on other things than my truck/boat as I'm a geek too.

The truck don't look so bad in that pic TJ...Maybe we'll have a good back drop at the Buck to take a few individual pics of each truck?

I got the pic thing figured out, but are there other programs that can do it other than Office?

i use MS paint...

open the pic in paint

click on "image"

then "stretch/skew"

depending on the size of the pics i enter either 50 or 75% for the top two boxes (the stretch boxes) and then hit ok. it shrinks the pic then close paint and it will save the pic with the new size and smaller file size.

its the cheapo way, but it works flawlessly and almost all computers have paint

scott and leonard--I've been listening for any bearing noise and haven't noticed any yet. Haven't had a lot of time to look on the net for replacement parts. somebody mentioned something about a manual hub conversion?

also found out Mon that my wife's car (VW Cabrio) needs a new a/c compressor so now I have 2 vehicles that need more of my money

this company has the best prices hands down...unfortunately they dont have an online shopping option so you will have to call. they were nearly $200 cheaper for the hub bearing assemblies when my old man was looking for one.

yea...no AC wont cause you to crash and die... i drove the enitre summer of 05 without AC and we hit 104 a couple times in august, and this fat kid was dying. i ended up fixing it in the beginning of september...and never used it over the winter

but a failing hub can potentially create that hazard. give your wife this argument and see what she thinks

Oh, it's been talked about already and she can deal with no a/c for a little while. Besides, it's a convertable drop the top and go fast to cool off . It'll suck, for her, if it's raining though. Then it'll start sucking for me
