Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Out today at the antique shop and junk yard looking for treasurers. I may go back for the Traffic Light. Asking $100. Should be able to get it for $75.

Uncle Dave said he'd been there on the snow machine when they had to dig down to the 2nd story window to get in..

Dont know why the pic is sideways but you get the point. Its a lot of snow to get to the 2nd story!
That looks an awful lot like the cabin in Bear Trap Basin about 4 mi in going north off Hwy 4. Been years since I've been there though.

Google says both names are correct. Had to look it up because I had never heard of them. I've seen the holes, never knew what made them.

Yeah, that gets my vertigo going! Once I helped take a transmitter off the edge of a building, 11 stories up, and two of us standing on a rickety sawhorse made out of 2 by 6es. Man, I was drenched with sweat when we got that off. We didn't have any fall arrest gear, either. I told my supervisor never again. Another time, I climbed to the top of a 200 foot radio tower. I was actually OK with that, because it had stairs. Crawling over the diagonal bracing was annoying, though. I managed to stick my head out of the hatch, but that was all. One of the other engineers stood on the platform and counted to ten, then came down. When I worked at Cape Canaveral, I had to go outside on the top level. Something like 200 feet up. I hugged the wall as far from the railing as I could get. I think one could see Cuba from up there, on a clear day.
