Evening everyone!!

Nice pics Jay!! You guys must have had a good time.

Dang am I tired. Watched Puss in Boots with the kids tonight. I started feeling tired around 8:30pm. Put them to bed at 9pm and almost fell asleep with them.

I used some snake oil in the car last night and drove it today. Not really expecting anything so if it holds together until I get the truck fixed, I'll be happy. It's got a bad rear strut as well. Makes a nice noise sometimes when hitting a bump or taking a turn too hard.

So .. I'm going to be ordering trans parts soon. What kit(s) do I need?

Good evening guys.

So, we had 80 here today, as did a lot of other places in the state. I am fearing what August is going to bring.................

Is that all?? I guess if it's what you do it makes sense.

Skates and I do NOT get along well.

I'm liking the job so far. Way different then what I am used to, but I'm getting used to it.
Different is good, most of the time anyway.

Let me look through those links and see what I can find for you. Looking for a full rebuild I'd assume?

Thanks for the comments guys. The pictures don't do it justice as I am sure you all know.

I am guessing Chris means roller blades but I may be wrong.

That truck looks like a mini Avalanche.

I don't see where it makes sense to do anything less than a proper rebuild. I don't see us doing anything with it anytime soon with the car being the pile it is.

I like the euro Ranger:

It always takes me a bit to get used to new designs. This one looks interesting. I agree with the comment looks like a mini-avalanche. It looks like it might be a bit bigger than the standard ranger?
