Kurt helped me with the H2 wheels so they are milled out to fit and ready to go to the powdercoater. Gonna put on some new tires....35'' but not sure exactly which ones yet. Maybe Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs or Bridgestone Dueler Revo 2s or or or..... Still shopping and thinking.

Im gonna rotate my Nitto Terras one more time and put my really bad tire back on the back.....to buy time (couple or 3 weeks or so). I need balljoints so im trying to decide if I want to bite the bullet and get the Carli Suspension ones or something else.

This is a bad time to be spending so much money with an unsold condo, but this front end and tire situation isn't going to wait long.

I am staying at home and commuting down to the track early in the morning. Gates open at 8AM. Very sharp, clean truck you have there! If you see mine there.......say hi to me! I'll try to find yours. I may be racing some and im gonna try to dyno....so I may be kinda busy at times. I hope to stay pretty much all day.

I'm at a loss...
Old news (~18 months now) that I kept mum about unless specifically asked, out of respect to Dan's former position and not wanting to start a ****storm on the interwebs.
Knew the truth would escape sooner or later!

Been getting plenty of injectors Flux'd on BOMB'd trucks after water/rust damage... the connection is obvious.

We only get ~25K out of the 37" MTs - but that's all we got out of the BFG ATs anyhow.

Been crazy busy getting the post-wedding schedule back on track - brutal summer heat didn't help much.

If I had more time I would've invited whoever wanted to go to the World Finals in Topeka last month - one of the best events I've attended.

We need to schedule a GTG up here with cooler weather on the way; shop's far from done, but it works pretty well and Steffy & I have been planning to have everyone here some weekend.

Poll on what date(s) work for all?
