Snapped looks pretty good! I might have to see if I can remember when that is on one of these nights.

G'night John!

Howdy yall! What a day!!!! Spent the morning at my barn, Went and shined the truck up. Had a club meeting where Stewart_H showed up and we had a great time talking and looking at our trucks! And finished it off at the Greek Food Fair where i got hooked up with free Gyro's and Lamb kabobs!!! Along with some Greek liquor and BEER!

Stewart is an amazing guy and i look forward to hang out with him again. He showed Peter and i how to pull our pcm's and gave me a ride in his truck!

As for the Greek Festival! A+ I hope i dont have a head ache in the morning!

Heres some pics from the Greek Fair!

I need to clean mine too. My EBPV stopped working entirely, the high idle doesn't even kick on anymore. Since its spring I haven't been on it too much, but once winter rolls around I'll need to get that fixed.

I also need an overboost solution. Even in 80E I hit 25 lbs within a few seconds and the truck defuels. No fun! Lets not even talk about 120R...
same here. really gets me mad. but on the bright side of the coin, it is keeping us out of getting into too much trouble, rite??

When I'm full on throttle in 120R, the truck will chip the tires every time it shifts. Wicked....Its even faster with the new tires, because I don't just sit there and spin I actually get traction. !
yup. i was thinking about putting the 36's on off the 88 and see if they will tame it down a bit.
with the stock 265's, they just go up in smoke on 120. i can see these new tires disappearing real fast.

If the chip really did double everyone's mileage, it would be in great big bold letters on Jody's website.

the lie-o-meter is within 1/2 mpg of hand calculations every time i compare them.

i am in the process of going over all connections, because everything was leaking when i got the truck.
it was well maintained in some areas, and not in others.
engine and trans fluids, tires and suspension were very well taken care of, but brakes, hoses, belts, batteries, electrical, and interior cleanliness were ignored.

Yes I did. Not the center caps, but the rear axle cap, or whatever thats called. The center of the wheel. Center caps wouldn't work, too small for my size axle. Here ya go:



I did the bottom half of the bumper too to try and put a little bit more black into it. I'm going to do clear headlights and a chrome ford emblem, so I wasn't going to post pictures until then which is why I haven't.

I think we should do a girl's truck contest. Cris and Moose and I get to enter by default.

Cris would win the 7.3 section. Her truck is booootiful!!

I saw an episode of Bridezillas once that almost made me swallow my tongue, I was so amazed and disgusted with what I saw.

I tried to make Randy watch it so he knows how good he has it, but he claims he'll just get pissed off. lol

Hehe, aww Spoon is a goofy drunk. So when you read this in the morning, I wonder how much of a headache you'll have?

You get an A- for talented typing while drunk.

I'm all about you lifting and putting bigger tires on your truck...

Good luck. I have 315/70R/17's and I can still burn rubber and chirp tires all day.

Most of the time I am really tame with the truck. I don't want/need any tickets. On the weekends when its nice I'll go out and play around a bit, do a few smokeouts..

Morning all

I actually dont get hangovers, never really have. Ive been lucky that way!

I dont drink much anymore anyways. But that neighbor of mine likes to drink and he just wouldnt let me have one.. haha.

Not sure if its a long weekend down there for you guys, but it is up here for us, thats why we were out "celebrating" last night. We actually went to the neighbors to finish securing some work for them, and for some supper. All in all a fun little night!
