No better way to get a tranny than to compete in the burnout contest...

Oh wait, that's how you end up "needing" a tranny.

I'll be replacing my LazarSmith 'Drag Bars' with Lazar Bars when we get to Alvarado! And maybe changing out tires (if I have room to bring them) for the 'Burn Out' Contest.

RJ,

I read through that thread. They are referring to regular shocks. I am very happy so far with my Rancho 9000 adjustables. I was referring to the Fox Steering Stabilizer......http://thurenfabrication.com/ramstab.html

In that case, maybe I should look at a Rancho or Bilstein Stabilizer. I just figured it would be good to upgrade and replace my stocker stabilizer while getting my front end stuff redone once and for good. Suggestions?

If your spirit was riding back with the "spirits", it may not be back by the July meet.

Is this a meet at the ranch and all drive down type of thing, or just show when you get there? If ya'll need something hauled down like extra tires or anything else, I can pull my trailer down with anything needed. JLMK

Hey guys. Saw two things yesterday that I need 'educatin' on!
-Saw woman in a Jeep just finish filling with diesel fuel as I pulled up to the Walmart pumps. Do they have a diesel? What engine?

-Saw a Viper SRT-10 Dodge Truck yesterday! All SRT's are not viper engines, right?
The two I beat last yr. at Ardmore Track had Hemi's...I think!
I'm sure I would have noticed if they were Vipers! Also not sure I would have beaten them??
