Our home for the weekend.

Greg messing with the in-tank stuff. Yes those are the PVC cutters Jim gave him to use.

Back end was down by the time I got there so sorry no other pics of that.

Spare parts! And pizza boxes....

OOOoooh shiny new I-beams. *Drool*

Matt workin on something up front.

Matt working again. Gotta post the pictures or Matt won't remember... he and Garrett were shotgunning beers all night.

Oh right we meant to lower this thing and put it WAY up on jack-stands. note: back tires were both solidly on the ground

Do I really need to caption this one?

Terminator hpop. Jim's second hpop on his own truck in under 2 months.

Then we put dual 4" exhaust on Chris's truck.

Photo op! Right to left: lifted 4", stock ride height on 285s, and a 3 5 drop





No he really isn't that tall....

Then it was time for a cheeseburger picnic. Thanks again for cooking, Mike.

New roll pan. Not painted to match just yet we're all aware it doesn't match.

Just wanted to thank you guys again for inviting me up to the GTG and helping me install my exhaust. Where else can you find a group of people willing to help someone that they've never even met before? Couldn't have been a nicer group of guys. Had a great time and learned some new things. Looking forward to the next one.

I told her about it when I got home. She didn't say No, so I'll take that as a Yes.

Miller Light and PB Blaster work best in conjunction. You spray the PB Blaster on and drink a Miller Light while you wait for it to work.

Jim actually had some freezey/rust dissolving stuff that is magic in a can.

But he needs to keep it away from my truck or my truck will dissolve.
