Alright Jon, Im with the people saying to wait, its at like 12-13, I was hoping maybe my vote would even it out...Ive noticed that you feel so much better when you can see a big change overnight than a whole bunch of little changes...Waitings hell too, but you gotta hold out and think of the end results....You dont want to PREMATURE ELEVATE do you? he he

ROFL!!!

Premature Elevation! That is funny. Yeah - I'm impatient - I know. I am gonna do it all at once. I just priced out the next round of mods after this - port and polish the heads and intake, headers, TB, MAF, 410 griind cam and Vortech SC... (according to Sven I'll get 250hop and 300ft/lbs torque). Keeping my fingers crossed. If things go well this week all of this may be done by our June run... we'll see...

Just don't tear it apart before friday...That's all I ask...I'm buying the coffee..
 






mmm...free coffee....Ill bring the doughnuts...Oh yeah I got a buddy comin with...Ill make him pay for his own coffee...he he
 






Mike,
Fear not - there will be no carnage on Tramp before Friday. Shoot - I won't even know until next week what is happening at work. Hopefully all good things ;)

I'll be leaving Fort Myers at abou 5:30 Friday morning. Should hit Inverness about 8.

k....don't forget the washer fluid..it is the beginning og luvbug season, god I hate Fl in the spring and fall..
 






Don't put it on yet.



I want to keep ragging on you for having it sit in your garage for a while longer :)

I understand your dilema. It would look strange, BUT a good part to this is, you'll notice any odd alignment or driving problems before you install the larger tires. Or you could go ahead with the lift and get some 13" 100 spoke gold rims with white wall tires and .......................*smack*, ok back to reality!

Personally, I'd wait and do it all at the same time.
 






Goob's,
I knew you were sitting back and enjoying this!;)

Hey - are you gonna try to make it down for the June run?

Jon
 






Not this summer, class will have to come first. Just pause for a few minute to think of me leaning how to solve matricies while your blasting through the mud. Next year will be a different story though. I graduate in May, so June will be wide open. Perhaps if you guys go on a run in NC you could stop by in Columbia and we'll cookout or something.
 






Goob's
You studying calc? I miss those days (believe it or not)

We'll be sure to take lots of pics - if we hit SC this fall, can you get a weekend with a bunch of notice?

Jon
 






Jon,

Greetings from Vienna!

Put the lift on now! It will help zou find the cash for the gears and tires much faster. Otherwise the stuff will just keep sitting in zour garage. Besides I to buz zour old gears as I want to go to 33s when I get back.

(I love tzping on this german kezboard. Zou see what I mean.)

Look at all these extra kezs: µßöä§

Aw man! am I missing another Florida run??????????????????

Best regards.

Dude! Nice pic of your truck! You are gonna have to be back by the 16th of June. You will love the run we have going then. a 4x2 can make most of the trails. BTW - Do you want my chrome nerfs? They get in the way and are best suited for a street truck... CYA in a few weeks!

Jon
 






"Street Truck"??? Those are fighting words my friend!!

I should be back on the 5/19 if all goes well when we go live. My 2" body lift showed up the day I left and I am itching to get it installed.

I'm going to keep my ugly black running boards for now as they do a great job blocking the rocks from that lousy road I have to drive down each day for work. Besides I am still thing of painting the thing desert tan and blacking everything out...


Keep an eye out for a post and a link I am going to put up. I found a real Hooters in Vienna. Going back Monday night for some fun provided all goes well Monday am..

Hope all is well.

Hey bud!

I saw the pic you emailed - that is hysterical! I am wondering if there is as much silicone in Vienna Hooters as there are in American Hooters (where can we go with this!?!?)

Hey - any word on that side job you were talking about? Nothing like hanging around Hooters in your spare time!

Let me know when you want to do the BL - and I may hound you for some help with the suspension :)

Add the lift and when you re-gear it and add the bigger tires, it will be like Christmas all over again.
