Right on. I'm getting excited. I asked my bro and he said I can use his 33x14.50 SSR's for the event if noone buys my d35. They're brand spankin too.

Sucks to hear about the diesel. That better not stop you. I might be able to get a picture of your truck on t-shirts if you make it :thefinger:

I ordered my wheels today, should be in "1-6 Business Days"

Might try to scramble and get my radiator in the rear of the truck so it'll actually cool down.

If nothing else at least a temp gauge lol.

Those will look sweet cruising around the rim of the pit! :thefinger:



Are you putting in the shirt order soon? Let me know if you want help with that.

I know all too well about the trans issues....:shok:

yeah yeah :thefinger:

I'm curious how my truck will perform with tires that actually have some tread.

That sucks about the trans, hopefully you get something worked out soon. I was out toolin around yesterday and my E-case won't go into 4lo. My cruise control won't go off when I hit the brakes either, so I'm thinking the brake sensor/switch is bad. I'm gonna start by cleaning the shift motor again, if that doesn't work then I've gotta find a way to bypass that switch or something.

I lucked out with the e-case, turned out to be a blown fuse. My e-case works again, as well as my cruise control. Gotta love the luxuries. I did a test fit with the SSR's, truck looks ANGRY lol



I flexed it out to check for fender clearance. I'll wait till after the bog to cut the overload spring on the leaf pack. Pics in showoff.

I went out to Levi's to check out the progress of the pit. he's making it HUGE. He piled up all the excess dirt into a massive pile, which I had fun climbing all over. Its like the shit at Twisted Trails (see CheapThrills thread). No pics. We were talkin about leaving the mound there, and surrounding it with the pit, but it may be too dangerous for the event. The last thing we need is a drunk guy rollin his truck off the top of this thing, its a good 8-10ft tall.

Went out and worked on the pit and rest of the property a little today. This thing's going to be badass once it's flooded. :icon_thumby:

I ran went to Havana today to tie up a couple loose ends on the truck and dropped off a few fliers at O'reilly's. I also ran into a kid that goes to Spoon River College. He took a few and said he'd post em around some of the buildings.

Rain is GOOOOOOD! I doubt that it'll amount to much but at least it'll help soften the ground a bit.
