Oh well, more motivation to build a new one eventually!

That sounds like it was a lot of fun! Dag nab it!

This day could not go quick enough. I am off to Foxwoods tomorrow night with my brother to see comedian Jim Gaffigan. Should be a lot of fun, besides being at an over-crowded casino of smoker's.

Just about to start a three day weekend in Maine, of painting, cleaning and other typical work associated with preparing the family cottage for the summer.

You might want to check your options at Mid City Steel in Bozrah. They have a website. Sometimes when you call, the call get re-routed to a Mass office. They do have a steel that dump trucks use that is cheaper and is more abrasive resistant.

Never thought of that before, but that is a good Idea, I do know where there is one shortbed sitting in the junk yard!

Early afternoon CT... haven't been around this part of the forums much. Still having a well storied set of issues with this truck and the dealership I buy from. Needless to say, I should be at Valenti next week with it, and if this works out, any future business. Also looking at getting myself into a little manual 4 pop car to save on some gas, I'm tired of borrowing my grandmother's 99 Sable

I REALLY need to get out there with you guys. I miss wheeling back in CO! When are you getting back from your trip, or when do you leave, rather? I should have a new suspension by the time you get back.

Matt, what kind of problems have you been having?
