    Alright guys not to deter from the wonderful conversation but does anyone have info on Alaska Spring and Performance? I'm trying to find a local place to get the leafs replaced and wanted to know if anyone had any ideas on where else to go?. 200 for shipping just kills the idea of an online order.

    They're good guys in there. Been trying to break into the aftermarket stuff. They do mostly American trucks but have done a few things with tacks and from what I've been told would like to do more.

    And, we'll see about moving. Like I said, it's basically up to the lender now whether to continue putting through the loan. I'm so pissed. Her boss signed something saying that yes, we see no reason why she will not be employed. If we had known, we could have planned better and found something to accommodate the adjusted income. Now, it just feels like we are rushed. Good news is, crunched the digits and I can keep us in the house. It's just at the will if the loan officer I guess. Laaaaame. We'll see. IF we lose out in this one, there's a few decent properties I'm interested in that aren't too far away, which would keep us in the same area

    They seem like nice guys. And they know what they're doing. I had them take a look at my leaf springs and they were trying to push me towards "beefing them up" rather than getting new ones. I'm assuming that means an AAL. But they said they get good rates on shipping here if they do the work on the truck, so that's cool.

    I literally got stuck in my parking lot at work earlier lol. When I left I decided to play around for a few, and a couple mins in I ended up sitting still all 4 spinning goin nowhere, put er down in 2nd little more throttle and eventually found traction. I wouldve been embarassed as shit if I somehow got a 4wd truck stuck in a flat parking lot because I was goofing off lol

    Sure something will work out buddy, if its meant to be to keep the house then you will if not I am sure one of the other places will work out. Situation sucks for sure but all you can do is make the best of it. On a lighter note I think I saw you yesterday on Old Seward between NLB and Benson around 2:45 I waived but no wavy back:(

    Hmm. Old Seward? Or New Seward? Old Seward doesn't connect to Benson. Must have be New Seward, I was definitely on that route at 2:45 heading downtown. Hmmm. If I didn't wave, it's cause I didn't see ya. I wave at every fixed taco I see lol.

    And thanks for the encouraging words guys.
