Pretty cool experience and as you can see there was a little bit of hands on learning too! We were near Grand Rapids.
Very very cool Jake. That is something not many people will ever experience...Frame that picture in a waterproof frame so you can keep it for ever.....

Dave were you able to get that air suspension kit before you left your last job? If not it ok I just don't want to order one if you have it or parts of it for that matter.

Glad to hear your new job is going well.

They make a kit supposedly but I just bought the hose that slides on the new cooler and then a couple brass barb fittings that go together to slide into the existing lines on the truck. I had already installed a Tru-cool so all my lines were already cut for it when I took that out. Other then that it bolts into the stock locations so that is easy. It has been about a year since I installed it so when I change oil here shortly I will check it all over again and make sure noting is rubbing through anywhere but no issues so far and the trans never gets closer to getting hot.

Nope. Never seen that one Troy. That sucks. Sounds like a rap song.

That is really awesome Jake! Cool experience.

Looks like there was a lot more snow there than where I was. Where were you?

So different from last year, we were still able to ride this time last year.

Oh well, there is always(hopefully) next year.

Looking for a newer sled right now.
