Mike saw you turning on Passaic Ave by 46. Only reason you missed was because i was in my billboard on wheels again.

Did not get anything for truck, the hints about the twins did not work

dang, ya know,I have seen that billboard on wheels a few times and am never sure which one you are driving, how is that working out for you? what a day, rush rush rush, workin with a subcontractor that just has no idea how much material he needs to do the job, , was supposed to be done by 2 but at 5 to three I had to go to the quarry for another load. that 14 foot dump does not like havin a load in it, let me tell you !

Yeah, I hate to say it, but I put the DSS on and didn't really notice any change in driving/handling. It is a nice unit though, and it probably doesn't hurt anything to have the extra mointing point to firm up the steering box. Biggest difference I have felt thus far in handling has been Bilstein 5100's at all four corners and the Thruen Steering Stabilizer @ 125 psi. Definite difference there, don't seem to have to keep my eyes peeled for imperfections in the road Finally got the new toolbox last night from Tractor Supply and dropped it in; went with a black WeatherGuard. Definitely a nice box, I think I like the look so far, waddaya think

You got that right Mike, it is a great day to be spending quality time with your truck. Now that I have the box in, I have a few finishing touches I want to accomplish on it, and then I can get to work on relocating a battery back there, and then FINALLY get around to my Amsoil bypass kit. First thing I need to do is get some sort of carpet or liner in the box to keep my stuff from scooting all about through the corners...

When are you guys going to get together so I can get out and see y'all again?!

ya know, if ya get those batteries out of the engien compartment, there would be two large areas fo r a killer dual bhaf setup ! so nice out, I just re installed the quad box, had it off since the truck was in the shop, and finally nice enough to put it back in. should feel like a race truck again, drivin around stock for a month !

Box looks great Pat, definetly the best choice for truck tool boxes. It sure was nice today, out of season for December. I was outside for a little while in just a t-shirt! Mike, how does that truck feel now?

feels good, forgot how raspy and angry the box makes the truck sound, guess the timing has a bit to do with it. parked at a store today next to a HD edition ferd, should have seen his face when I left. :O

I go to the one on 23 in Sussex. It is close to home, and the people there were absolutely awesome through the whole ordeal. I had a box, turned out to have a 5hitty lid, would not seal right, they took very good care of everything, and even offered to stay late in order for me to pick up the replacement box. I actually wrote a little message to Tractor Supply about the store and it's service, I was that impressed. off of the soap box.......


where is everybody?! where tha crap is Angelo, we need to be getting together for some reason or another, and when is the next get together happening anyway...

I'm still here. I was thinking this section was being awfully quiet. I just mailed my turbo to MPI today. Should take three days to make it to Idaho with approx two week turn around time and then return shipping and I will finally have twins. Who knows when I will be able to install though..... I'll just keep giving the stocker a workout.

We from NJ have some upcoming NHRDA events for this year. So far June 14 for E-town and Island is still TBA. I hope to make both along with any extra events at Island.

Any new plans for another Hooters meet? I was not able to make it to the last one. Wife was still in school.

Hey, good to see you are still around! Yeah, I don't think you would want to e trying to install those twins when it is 7* outside minus windchill. COLD SUCKS! Smells like someobody is ready to do some more racing, and I am thinking there will be a need for another dyno day

I am in NJ this weekend, anything going on, sounds like it is supposed to be a little warmer out...


BTW, next weekend is no good for me, little lady and I are heading to FLORIDA!!! Hopefully it warms up there over the next week too
