I heard the water is two ft from topping the Dam. That's a lot of water!!

I wonder how much is really going to come into town, the guard already has streets blocked off.

i'm not diggin' all this rain either. same boat as you, i'm in no danger, but my parents live in a flood plain with a creek right behind them. we've been through 3 full on floods in 10 years it's been raining hard as hell for 2 days and it only gets worse down here when the states up towards you guys get lots of rain.

In many places here, what used to be miles and miles of farm land is now water as far as you can see.

Thats crazy. I have never owned or lived in a house with a sump pump, and have never had water issues.

Look what our little buddy is telling people in the 73-79 forum when asked for info on crossover steering for a 79 F250...

O also you may need to put washer shims under the kingpin caps ..

The op was talking about 6ish" of lift but otherwise nothing fancy.

If you guys need me Ill be in the shop swapping my steering box.

I dont think this has as much to do with him being Canadian as it does with being a ******* of the highest order.

no, wait...

What really pisses me off is that after his ignorance pretty much banished him from the offroad forum he moved over to the 73-79 forum where the sheeple there are awestruck by his VAST amounts of knowledge and homo-ghey lifted truck...similar to the effect 75F350 seems to have on people. The problem is some ******* will probably read this as gospel and swap boxes without ever knowing.

Shes a nice little black lady but she apparently enjoys wearing shorts with tall black wool socks. You shouldve seen that woman try to tote my heads when they came back from porting a couple years ago. Shes 5'nothing and about a 100lbs. I lol'd thrice.

As I mentioned via text youre a nasty ******* for sending that pic unless of course your wifes bewbers are that horrific.

Yes, yes I did.
