Okay that smilie icon says it's a knee slapper but it doesn't have knees!

I've never liked the visors either. They always looked like cheesy baseball caps or something to me. SOMETIMES I see a truck setup with a visor and it doesn't looks bad at all, but usually I think they detract from the overall look. I could see the use in them though, but I'm much too vain for that!

Forget twins and manual trans, he only pulled this deal so he didn't have to shift gears in the Stranger any more lol.

No no 4x ! I'd love to but no.
Yea you caught me, after 3 weeks I was sooooo over the hand shaker!

Jp was as happy for doolie to be gone as I was for ranger to not have me shifting.

No turbo swaps...unless I find a 366 sponsor and Jim to sponsor some stage ones lol

This is a budjet dd project. Unless Clifford gives up the goods and goes back stock. :-/

Heck yeah I care! I am stoked to see this happen. I, for one, think your approach to budget stock woth minor upgrades is a pretty cool idea. You have Clifford. You can mod the dually as you get money even if it takes you 3 years, like some of us (ahem, cough)!! I am so looking forward to this. I have no comment on the visor

Pull the valve covers on that engine and see if there is any indication of the injectors being anything other than stock. The truck it came out of had gauges, and I can't remember if it had a chip or not, but I can look.

You like or dislike the visor?!?! I go both ways on it. It will stay tho. Either way. I think even a mild build will pully lil 6500 lb pull behind. You did it with much more weight with similar mods.
In other news...had a douchemax messing with me last night on my way home...it did not end well for him ... I'll blow the trans up if I have to. I was minding my own business but he just had to poke the bear!

I wish you had a video of this! I can't tell you how many times I've had some douchemax or cummapart act like a total moron around me. I just want to ask them "Is your pecker really that small?!". Makes me want to build something like Clifford just to

Ahh he sure isn't the fastest truck out there by any means. The big issue will always be the trans until I win the lottery. In my "40hp tow" tune it's no joke!

I'm kinda for the visors. Although personally I prefer the lit ones and no cab lights. That truck would look sick as a 4x

I found out last summer just what a stock truck will do. Pulling the Travel Supreme with the Geo behind it (18.5K) about 30 west of Nate's going to the thrashing a left turner stopped in front of me on a very big hill. It was all the stocker could do but it got me rolling again, amazing!!
