I already have all that.
Just need the sticks.
But my truck is running real good !!
When I came out of the quarry at 22-23,000 GCVW last week and was able gain speed going up a 3-4% grade it is sweet.

I was in school. I will be headed down to Long Beach Island in Jersey to visit with my buddy and his wife, at her parent's beach house. Looking forward to relaxing and getting to eat at Chicken Or The Egg, a delicious wing place. My buddy said the waves were real good last weekend, so hopefully they will be good this weekend. He also said there were a bunch of dolphins around as well, which is always pretty cool. Hope everybody has a good weekend!

Nope, but we weren't trying. When I was very young we used to camp on Squam Lake every summer. Two years ago my parents moved back to NH, and as fate would have it the Army sent me to New England as well. We spent the day cruising the lake, and I had a blast!

My parent's dogs did too.

Was it that plastic tube that runs along the top of the radiator? Mine cracked on the way home from work the very first day I owned it
