Hey everyone,
Well we are into another month !! Remember that Valentines day is this month !! I am finally ahead of the game and have something mailed off for the Mrs before the holiday. I am trying to take another R&R, won't be moving into a new house so I might get to relax some this time. Hope everyone is doing great !!

Hey guys,
I have been so busy that I forgot to approve peoples request to join, I am so sorry. So the 7 of you that put in a request to join you have been approved and welcome!!
A friend of mine took my new to me truck to work at the dealership he works at and put it on the lift to check out a rattling sound. Seems an exhaust bracket was broken and that was fixed. The great news is that it has a ton of upgrades like a full Bassani exhaust, that's well over a grand upgrade. It has a Accufab one piece throttle body, that's another 500 buck upgrade, C&L cold air intake. Brakes are good, no leaks of any kind. The only thing they could really find wrong is the factory front sway bar bushings are shot. Looks like an upgrade to Polly!!

Hey everyone !!
The new poly sway bar kit was ordered and it is at the house. A friend is going to install it for me next week. Cold and rainy all day but it could have been snow so I'm not complaining. Looks like bad weather is on the way for North GA. A couple more weeks and I will be able to take my R&R. I can't wait to try out the new truck !!!

Oh crap, yea that sucks, I hope you are alright. Rainy and overcast here but still no snow this year so far. I'm not complaining!! A couple more weeks and I can come home for some R&R. We moved to North Georgia last time I was home so I did not get much rest but it was so worth it. Looks like snow, sleet and ice on the way for us really northern GA guys.

Your tailgate took a beating but not as bad as the others guys front end!! When I got ready to deploy my wife said it was my turn to get a new to me vehicle when I got back. I was going to get a sports car but decided I really need a truck so I got the best of both worlds!! I have pictures in last months thread.

You have a yard full of fun!! I never really had to worry about snow in south GA but after moving to north GA I am thinking about getting a 4x4 truck. Thank goodness no massive snow fall this year. Fingers crossed !

Hey everyone !!
Well it really started snowing here today, Was hoping we would get away with mild winter but not so bad I guess if we get a day or two. This is the first time this year and a lot less than we had last year. Just killing days till I can come home on R&R. Everybody stay safe !!!
