I think Jason was the only stock rig, but any stock rig would have been fine on this trip!

dang, looks like y'all had fun ;) bummer I had to work but there will be more snow ;)

[BigBadBob0]

Very nice, indeed. When I got to the shop to start wrenchin yesterday I looked up and said "those bastards with perfect weather!"

Truck still isn't ready. Fired up on Saturday morning after tightening down a few last things. Then found a gnarly exhaust leak. One of the new gaskets at the end of the crossover pipe wasn't happy. So we pulled it apart to try to line everything back up again. Well. That was the end of that. Stripped some studs, broke some bolts. It sucked. Went back in today. Still no love. Still not drivin' :(

I embrace my clumsiness, it's not how brisk and elegant a woman walks, it's how many times you can trip over your shoes, a pebble, or a burst of air and fall flat on your face, get back up,brush the inevitable mud that lies with in the two inch radius of your fall and walk on, errr trip on. now, how do i put a (bleep)smiley face in my message?

[trd2001]

damn. I wish there was that much snow here.
