Noob here

Just joined here. My name is Mike i'm 21. I bought my 2002 f-250 7.3 CC SB about 6 months ago. I used to work at a ford dealer as a diesel mechanic apprentice so thats what got me into them. So far on my truck I have an edge programmer, AFE intake stg 1, magnaflow 4" exhaust w/ 5" tip, 35" BFG Mudders, guages, the usual. I think the meet would be a great idea, a mod install day like you guys were talking about would be awsome, and I'm definetly looking forward to going mudding somewhere.

Damn, nice to see you on the site.

We are trying to set up all the meets and such now.

You shouldn't have told us you do electrical work... especially with install days coming up... j/k

It is good to see more people on the site, growing more and more every day.

I'm with you on staying out of the mud for now, pressure washing at 30 degrees isn't much fun. 28th works for me, I'll have 4 kids and my GF.
