Seriously. Is the thrill worth it? You can get a great thrill from these PSD's when they walk all over a preppy in a convertible and you are safe even though we don't have airbags.

I have gave up riding for the thrill of it along time ago. I have been riding Harley's for the freedom. The funny thing is I quit riding dirt bikes and quads on the sand dunes along time ago because it got to be more dangerous than fun. I have had the urge lately to go back up on the dunes again. TJ's post awhile back about taking his truck up there got me thinking. Oh yeah, hanging out hear has given me the urge to put injectors and a custom chip in my truck.

I love the dunes but I would never drive a quad or dirt bike up there. I like being one of the biggest machines up there. They might hit me but they will be the ones that get injured. I also don't go up on weekends when its real busy.

On the busy weekends I wouldn't want to be up there in my truck either. When I was younger we would park in line and wait all night to get up there just to try and survive. I guess I am just wiser now.

For the location go to the "user CP" and "edit Profile" then go to the bottom of the page and there will be a location box, hobbies yada yada yada.

You live in Montague eh? Shoot we are neighbors! I drive past there everyday to work in Muskegon. Do you know any of the Ranthum's (sp?). Kieth and Kevin?

Thanks, TJ. I worked in Muskegon too before I got my head busted up. I don't think I know Kieth or Kevin. Are they associated with Ranthum Trucking?

They might be related to them. They own Shizlotty Suspension and have recently moved into my dads shop as kind of a joint venture I guess you could say. They both work for my dad but yet still have their own thing going too.

I have seen a few trucks around here with Shizlotty Suspension stickers on them. Do they manufacture there own suspension parts? I think your dad's shop is in a good location to also do suspension work.

Pretty much Shizlotty is just an accessories installer. they also do some dune buggy building. They have also taken on a couple engine swaps. They are current putting a Cummin 4bt in a Toyota (I forget the model). They do ok but still have some things to learn about wrenching. Good guys to deal with and willing to learn.
