Yes my friends.. I couldn't leave you for long!

Well I sorta/sold the beast, yet I took it back tonight. I couldn't handle it being gone, I was devistated, hurt, emotional, a freaking basket case! Plus the motorcycle didn't make me feel any better. Something about 8000lbs of pure hell released on earth power gave me a little more comfort during the day (GRIN). So I sold the bike (rather quickly) and jumped back in the saddle. I have a lot of work lined up for her this summer. Quite a few things I really need to fix/re-design to make her more me. Things I procrastinated on when I was gung-ho on modding it. I won't be going into the "business" so to speak, It's not for me. My real job has me super busy, so I don't have the time to be as active as I once was. I think that part of my life was the "no-life" syndrome LMAO.

Anyways, We just wanted to say HI!




Things to come...

• Turbo needs to be cleaned, again.
• Stainless brake lines are seriously required.
• Front left caliper replaced (actually whole front probably, I gouged the piston awhile back.)
• Springs replaced all around.
• New rotors and pads (I'll never buy Powerstop again.)
• Isspro gauges (at least 11 gauges new to come.)
• Steering adjustment and/or replacement (maybe hydraulic assist.)
• New hood (Production Pronto hood blows!)

That's all I can think of at the moment. Oh yes, my BFF yelled the worlds biggest "YES!" when I said the beast came home. I could hear him 10 MILES AWAY! The Stack brothers are back in town. Time to show Austin what real trucks are (GRIN)

LMAO

 

Glad to see you back, keep us up to date on the mods.

 

Glad you got your truck back!

 

Welcome back to the SD Storm, maybe diesel will stay down where you can drive it.

 

Oh I'm good on the diesel part I finally landed the director position i've been drooling over since I was knee high to a grasshopper!

 

Awesome man, hopefully more big bucks for the beast .

 

Could be.. Right now it's priority maintenance parts.. She sat for almost 6 months before I let it go to someone, even then it wasn't running well. But she'll come along. Least now I can really get rid of that damn hood.

 

Uh huh....

I wondered how long that hiatus was gonna last...

You, like me, have too much blood in your diesel stream.

Maybe you went through your mid life crisis with the motorcycle,

 

WOOHOO!!! Welcome back! I was pretty surprised when you left, I couldn't imagine putting all that "LOVE" into my rig and then selling it! Anyways, welcome back, brother stacker!

 

I left my Bike for my truck I could not imagine doing the reverse! 8000 miles in Mobile traffic and one rebuilt shoulder later,

never again!

 

Hah. I told ya you'd be back! Buy me a new hood when you get yours. ;P

 

Welcome back Storm. Will be looking for you every once in a while in the 7.3 forum.

 

Welcome back Storm! This forum has been a lot less colorful without your input.

 

Welcome back Storm! I too tried a bike for awhile and after a little over a week in the hospitals and a bunch of big scars later, I got the truck!
