10 works for me. Im sure the wife and I are down for food after.

 

I probably won't make the 10 showtime but I'll meet up with you guys out there, just send me a location. TBD on food but most likely down. Where do y'all wanna eat? Hooters is right by the 10 for our non-crestuckians

 

I was in destin back when i signed up for this site in 2008. I guess I never updated it as I am in Niceville now. I used to have this white 09 when i was on TW before. Now I have the 2016 Blue below and I want to go back to a full size truck. I just posted it in the
Classifieds for sale. Its just hard to go back to a mid size when i drove a full size for a few years.

 

I havent driven the 80 on the highway lol, seems to accelerate a lot faster in 2hi and the hubs unlocked.....but I have zero clue how fast ill be able to go lol. She was struggling to maintain 55mph going to milton lol

 

I'm liking your '09! I'd invite you to come wheelin on Sunday, but I highly doubt you would since you're trying to sell your truck. Good luck man.

 

Sweet ride @KMN-BLU! Good luck with the sale. Sometimes I find myself wishing I would've went full size!

@Alfuh we can do a convoy and have you in the middle, we will throw on the flashers and everything!

 

I dont think thats necessary haha, im pretty sure we can navigate our way closer up to crestucky...but then fuck....id have to drive back lol. fuck....well looks like tomorrow after work, im driving the 80 to Lowes or something so i can get bolts for the seats and see how well she does at higher speeds

 

but check it out haha

I am so pumped to get this thing installed! I dropped it off yesterday to get line-x'd and when I picked it up today the mech asked me if I was going to install it today. I knew as soon as he asked that I wasn't going to like what he had to say... Apparently I have to wait till tomorrow for the liner to fully cure. I ordered the sucker on mar 9... What's another day I suppose.

 

things take time lol, I rattle canned my bumper semi gloss, let it sit for like 15 minutes and then threw it on haha. some of the paint got messed up, but hey, thats what a sander and some more paint is for lol

 

Did you drag it to Milton in 4 hi with the front axle only?!

 

You gonna install it tomorrow or on Saturday??

 

............yes.................lol, with the rear driveshaft riding shotgun haha

 

I seriously debated just throwing it on there but I figured I'd wait because I have to take it off here in a few months to install the winch. Ah well. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have the only SOS bumper on a truck with stock suspension hopefully it doesn't look funky. I think I'm going to do a lift first and then the winch.

 

I'm going to do it tomorrow after work! I'll be sure to post lots of pictures

 

You better!

 

At least you know you can always drag it home, if needed.

 

yeah....I just dont like doing that, puts a lot of stress on the front axle since that's not supposed to be the primary means of propulsion lol. it's supposed to push being RWD not pull as a FWD haha
