    oh nice! If it can stand up to being driven over I'm sure I won't be able to break it lol. I was going to buy one but my dad got me a hatchet from AIH for christmas. It's just a basic one but it's all one piece. Good to just leave in the truck.

    Awesome ideas! I bought him, and myself since it is so badass, the Gerber last year. Ill have to look into that leatherman. He is just graduating college, and went through all the fire courses. He finiahed top of his class from the WFF school and has been training for just about 2 years. He is ready for it and loves that stuff.

    I need to look into those filters for the nalgenes! Great idea!

    Nick- how's Kendall at balancing tires? I took the truck back to AK Tire to rebalance (horrible shaking at 40-50mph), and it fixed that. BUT, now the vibrations are above 55-60 are horrendous. I think I always had a very, very slight vibration just because of the tires being what they are plus my suspension isn't as nice as some of you guys,(not sure if related, but doubt it. My winter tires felt fine all winter) but it definitely wasn't this bad last summer, and they're new last summer. I would bring it back to the same shop but I think I need a different group of guys to check them for me.

    Speaking of Kendall...I went over there to find a replacement bolt for one of my seat mounts. I stripped it out trying to use it as a ground for my amp. They couldn't find the exact replacement but ended up giving me four in various lengths at no charge. I was very surprised at that. Good work, Kendall.

    Yea. With each 2012/2013 I see with their fancy front ends, the temptation to trade grows more and more. Lol

    Well right now is the time if anyone is thinking about upgrading, they have decent rebates and 0% for 60 months through the end of the month. To top it off, you really dont have to deal with any annoying ass car salesmen, go in and bullshit with Nick for awhile and come out with a new truck. Ask me how I know :D

    Well looks like my tax refund amount was reduced in half...So I guess I'm only looking at a lift this summer. Probably no new tires until fall.

    That's a bummer. Ours wasn't as much as we'd hoped either. Thought we'd get more for the baby. Oh well. Enough to pay off bills.

    I'm considering selling my tires to pay for 17's. not sure yet. I really want to get MotoMetal or Rockstar wheels, but they don't make 16" wheels.
