Doesn't get much better than that.

Pixies are known to like huffing Ford exhaust, usually you can find them suckling at your tailpipes around 3am on full moons. You just gotta catch one and then smack it around untill the dust falls off. Helps to have a tarp down to collect the dust. I think they're catching on though, I've been finding really tiny graffiti on my truck lately

What was this thread about again

Nope. If you box part of the frame you really should box the entire frame. Reason being, the frame IS made to flex and if parts in the middle are boxed it causes major stress and eventually fractures on the parts of the frame that isn't boxed. You can box the very front and back and not experience this, but otherwise if you gonna box any its best to box it all. I'd just as soon go tubular. Our frames are pretty tough as they are.

this is true, i'm still pretty new at the 4x4 world, brought up with the old school hot rods and muscle cars where most of the time only portions of the frame are boxed. i just figured u might have boxed the front end to give it a little more support. i'm really wanting a icb but my friends have banned me from them. another one im told is good is the cement mixer. dave and busters has some awesome mixed drinks

You and me both, brother. Personally, I think its the best way to start out. Other than the fact that you end up with really silly motors in trucks.

There's something really refreshing about seeing a 5-6K lb truck rip off a sub 13 second 1/4 mile and still be able to take it out in bushes and beat the hell out of an expensive set of tires........

As for the guiness,,,,I've got to get over this stupid chemotherapy thingie before they will let me drink again. Everytime I drink a pint, my favorite enemy swells up like a balloon. Damn Bad Luck!!!!!!

thats why the new deisel drags are great. alot of those trucks will smoke most factory muscle cars. i know it cant be too great for the clutch but i like doing 4wd burnouts. the ricer kids just look at you like your insane. i have a dana 60 up front and i'm running skinny tires so i'm not really worried about too much else. i don't do it that often. this is probably one of those things that ill break somthn and feel like a total moron.
