She's as close to being slightly modified as they can get without being modified. She can keep up with the big dogs (Warrlord and Digger's Rangers) and she hopes to one day be just like them. Unfortunately she's just too new to be abusing too hard.

Mods to come:
-4" Superlift or 6" RCD, still undecided
-33" or 35" tires depending on the lift
-Detroit locker rear
-Sliders and Custom tube bumper with winch plate.

Thats a great pickup, you won 3 or 4 rounds at Truck fest with it, didnt you? to Tell you the truth in all the excitement, I lost count myself. but you did feel lucky, didnt you Chuck? First time out to bandimere too, right? Going to be there this year again, to get a few more wins in?

she's just too new to be abusing too hard.
\ keep saying that about my 06 and so far the Cans scratched my passenger door, and the twinn blizzards caused my passenger side running board to become a slider, found a ding in my tailgate sunday when cleaning it. Its only a matter of time before youll have it where you plan to be with it.

had to do some minor trimming to keep em from rubbing

The story on how I got em so cheap goes like this-

My buddy Scott, those that race at Bandi know who he is, gold SHO, used to have them on his TJ. Well, as normal, the TJ had a growth spurt, and he jumped to a 35, sold these to one of his friends who was using them as rollers for his YJ. Well, the guy never paid Scott, so Scott and I, for lack of better term, repossessed them. They guy needed rollers, so we threw my old 32's under with my Alcoa's and swapped em. I'll get my Alcoa's back soon enough, but have no need for em. So, Scott sold these to me for $200. I need to get to his house because while I have the 4, and it's a killer deal, I also have a fifth 33X12.50 on a 5th steelie for a spare. It needs some height now, but that'll come soon enough.

Minimal rub under flex in the rear, the front we trimmed up when we put em on, as they wouldn't quite clear the valence.

:eek:


wat did u do?

[thesoundmaster]

:eek:


wat did u do?

He didn't do anything... just helped with it while I was off in my own little world.

A friend of both mine and Johns, Kara has this fear of moths. Deathly afraid of moths. So, when I was in Mighigan, I sent her a text with a picture of a moth I saw... small one, but she freaked and told me she was going to get me back.

The other night, we were over at her house sitting on the driveway when she went to go inside and found a spider on the door handle... me being deathly afraid of them, decided I'd go help kill it... till I saw it. The thing was a giant wolf spider the size of a pringles can lid. So, I jumped back and John stepped in and killed it. I called it even with her, but she claimed she wouldn't call it even.

Saturday night, over there again, had a few drinks, and she planned on pranking my truck... with a ton of confetti dumped in the cab. I'm still cleaning it up.

[mattadams]

I'm not a big fan of spiders. I usually dont mind killing them but I hate their webs and the fact that they love to hang out so often in my back yard.

[PaleBlue90]

i would be pissed lol, dont worry im deathly scared of spiders too....snakes too.....

[Glass]

See, the thing is .. i hate spiders too, but i was trying to be impressive... THAT THING WAS HUGE lol...

I know you got a photo of your interior chuck.. post it pleaseeee???
