If I could I would come up and hang out in the parking lot during the game just to be there when the Eagles win. Can you say "WILD CARD".

Dang'd if that's not a busy schedule. I primarily replied (belatedly), while doing a search on "carputer" and your previous message popped up. I own a 1999 F250 Superduty XLT V10 and am researching the best approach to take when chosing a carputer and installing it. If you have the time in your schedule, I'd be interested in hearing more about your install, with pics if you have them. Any information would be most helpful. I have a regular cab and 5 speed manual tranny so room becomes IMPORTANT. Anyway, thanks for listening and hope you'll have a Happy Holliday.

TIA
bill

I'm so happy I didn't buy that set of plows with my truck.

Bill - you will have to be patience as Barr (bterry) isn't on the board that often right now, but I am sure he will get back to you.

Jack - so you gave up on getting a plow for your truck?

No problem Bill. I didn't want you thinking that Barr was blowing you off. It is a busy time for him so isn't here often. Happy Holidays to you if I don't talk to you before then!!!

Been busy cleaning up ice storm tree damage from 3 years ago at the house and getting ready to increase the size of my yard some. Working on putting my 2007 project list together (my honey-do list). My brother and his family are coming in from Arizona for Xmas and getting ready to head down to Cortland on Xmas Eve for a get together with my brother and sister in-laws (this ought to be real fun because Irish people don't drink..... yeah right!!!!!!!!!!! ).

And last but not the least.................... Wishing everyone from the New York Chapter (and those from the PA chapter.....soondg (wink,wink)) A very safe Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!

What have I been doing?

Waiting for Jason to come back to this thread so I can gloat. No, I will not do that.

I will ask him to join me in taunting the Dallas Cowboys and reciting the favorite chant of every team in the NFC East.

if you are going to say it say it loud!

DALLAS SUCKS!!!

You know even though we lost I didn't even watch the game - why you ask?
because I was playing with the only thing I love more than the Giants - my TRUCK!!

I spent 13 hours on Sunday lifting it up 4.5" and putting on 35" tires on 20" rims. This is probably the only reason I haven't put a gun to my head. I am to giggly still!

So what !!!! After the work involved to do the lift I would be proud to show it off no matter how dirty it is. Besides, I am willing to bet that Ronin is itching to see trucks with lifts and mud on them seeing that he gave up his wheeling rig for the missus

Mud!!!!

Did I hear mud?!?! I did hear mud didn't I????

Jason, let's see it!!!! I want to see pictures!!!! You better get them up on the board or else I will have to come down there and wheel that baby myself!!! Heck my truck is dirty too and I still take pictures of it if some asks for something.

BTW, Tiny it worked!!! I have been talking all the time about getting a cheap wheeling rig and the other day we were talking to some friends about the new Mariner. They asked what I was going to do now that I don't have the Rover to wheel anymore. Before I opened my mouth the wife said, "oh he is looking for a cheap vehicle to wheel." I think my jaw dropped and hit the floor because the wife looked at me and said, "that is right isn't it?" I was like well yeah that is alright!!! The only downside to my plan now is the SD has developed head gasket leaks and the entire exhaust system is shot (darn NY road salt). So that is going to have to come first before the wheeling rig, but at least now the wife is on board so I am happy!!!
