I don't follow the sick liters too closely, but that looks good to me Torr. I know your truck should already have the updated hpop, but is that worth changing with your miles and the fact it's apart?

Hey Brandon, take a look at Riffraff. They have that kit listed with pics of the parts. Will you see if there is anything special please?

the only thing "special" i see is the EGR valve replacement cap has Sinister's logo engraved in it.. not sure if that's worth an extra $200+, haha.

Survived another weekend at Whiskey Creek. It was their Halloween Party weekend. We decked out the Tiki Bar, had ghosts on guy wires coming out of trees, fog machine, etc. Was pretty cool. It was thirsty work.

How tall is your boat Brandon?

Hey Mike, what's the word on the trailer for this weekend? I really don't want to swap tires up there in the cold.
