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?!
Thanks, Sheldon. While I like the looks of a lifted truck and big tires, I don't reccomend it if you want to keep your mileage up there. I don't really keep track of my mileage so I cannot tell you for sure what it is, but I do know that it isn't what it used to be. Also, my EGTs went up about a hundred degrees on the freeway with the bigger rubber. Higher EGTs = motor working harder.

I guess I shouldchange that to "CC" then. Thanks for the compliment.

Mark, the stainless bolts do not go through the fenders. The flares are mounted using existing holes and hardware in the front and some clips and screws in the rear. The stainless bolts are just for looks. Installation took me a little over an hour I guess.

I switched to cottonseed oil two years ago. The peanut oil was getting too expensive. To me, I cannot detect a difference in taste and the cottonseed oil is a little more user friendly in terms of heat.

I paid $40 for six gallons of cottonseed oil this morning. The peanut oil was going for $34.99 for a 3 gallon jug.

No thanks.

I used to work at an apartment complex and when our guy would come in he would normally stay for 20 minutes! I never understood it but he always said the faster he gets done the faster he gets home....he always chatted. Who knows!

I will have to look for that. I have not done a turkey in a long time because of the cost of the oil.

No thanks.
I sell Blended peanut (50/50 pnut soy blend) oil for $30.22 in a 35#(4.75gallon) jug.
The blended product retains the higher smoke point that peanut oil is known for, and also transfers the peanut oil flavor to the turkey. I have a few customers that are wary of peanut allergies so for them I send canola or cottonseed oil.
the processed oil market is crazy (and has been for the past year and half)
