Night vision game cameras have so many uses.

A buddy of mine from work set his up to watch his car since someone has been breaking in. Now he knows who....







That last shot shows the guy with a very "deer in the headlights" look.

Speaking of trucks and trailers........... hopefully the 'Black Beast' has ridden it's only and last ride on a gooseneck....

Got the truck back with Flux 1.8s, F1 valve springs, and new serpentine. It's hard for me to describe yet how it runs. I need some more seat time, but I think it is running great. Just different. I noticed my EGTs are definately higher and it smokes a little more.......more fuel, more smoke. Even with Smarty still on 3.

Hopefully it's not making any more oil!! May be a few weeks before Don can diagnose the old cores but i'll be curious what he says.

The ferd focus rental car will not be missed....

I can still see Brian's great pic of his 01 towing a Power Stroke with a 38" Gooseneck on it, to a service station.

Uh hmm...





Pretty sure I was over the length limit... At least we were unloaded!

Mike - I'm trying to talk him back into them. I'm the 'old guy' here but he went senior moment on us..... over the bed tool box and small tires. Next he'll have a camper shell on the box and wind deflectors on the hood!

I would be really worried if it was not for the 96 he picked up! You (Mike) need to ride in that thing.
I would not have believed a 66/71/16 turbo and a 4.10 rear end could be a perfect combo ... but it's very impressive.

Hey now, since when is an over the rail toolbox considered "senior"?

I need to be able to reach my stuff and up till a few weeks ago, that's where all of my tools were stored because I had no other place for them.

It's either Red Neck...or Senior! Take your pick. (Just my very well informed opinion).
And , that's what they all say.

Heck, I'm thinking 3.73s or 4.10s in the 01 and going back to 35's! Got a lot of tire left though!

Hatin on my toolbox STILL! Had to get all those tools off my back seat! Now that the W/M and nitrous are leaving the 01, I probably could get by without the BIG box... But, I can't


Been driving the 96 for 2 solid weeks now. (01 needs my lazy butt to replace the fuel line), sure is a blast to drive. Ready for a trip to Ardmore to get some baselines before the fun begins!
