It's too bad we couldn't get NASA to give us a live feed off of a satellite that has a view of Acushnet,MA. We could watch the smoke rolls from Jim after he installs his tuner.

They are quite good. The best part (to me) is the skin. It's gets all crispy and golden brown and is soaked with cajun spices. I have to actually beat people back away from the turkeys while I am carving, that's how well I have it down. I am also smoking one on my big pit. I have that down pretty good too. They come out very moist and smoky tasting.

Whatcha All Think Of These?

Snapped this on Independence Blvd. in Charlotte about an hour ago. You like or dislike? I am thinking about something like this for mine because my lower right front fender has the paint rubbed off just a little bit from a set of foolish did nothing mudflaps that were on there at one time, and these would cover the area that is annoying me. My arm is in the frame because I was being honked at as I was blocking traffic to take the photo. So, big hurry=crummy picture.

He needs bigger wheels and tires. I like those flares (I just put a set on this past weekend) but they do not look good unless you have big tires to go under them. He should have gone with OEM style instead.

Here's mine:

I have some on my truck that came with the truck, without the bolts in them.


At first i wanted to paint them white, but Im used to them now. They were on the truck when i bought it too.
The ones on my truck are also a little smaller.

Those are OEMs and they look sweet in that application.

Nice truck, Sheldon!

Thanks Scott, yours is wicked too!

Ive always thought about throwing a lift kit on and getting some 35's for my rims, but the damn truck has been so good in its stock form, and gets awesome mileage in the stock form that Im scared to change it though!

Sure love that front bumper and grill gaurd too, my woman thinks they look too rednecky haha

Shes a pure city girl though, what can ya expect?!

Dang, Scott!! I thought "SC" in your sig ment "Super Cab". Haven't paid enough attention to realize yours is a Crew Cab until just now. I guess "SC" means "Super Crew" in your sig? I like the flares on both your trucks. Nice touch.

I want yours Shel, I don't want to do the bolts, not even stainless. Can you get those at a dealer? Of course I would like to find some aftermarket that are just as good but probably a third of the cost of the stealership.
