    After wheeling today i think i want to upgrade to a short shifter or quick shifter. It would be nice to be able to get through the gears quicker going up hills. And i want skids. And bumpers...dammit :anonymous:

    What on your truck hasn't been chewed and spewed by now?

    I was suppose to get a tail pipe relocate bracket but it looked fine. I now know why i needed it. Just gonna go to Lou's Tuesday get a new muffler that's quieter and have it dumped up high. I was thinking something along the lines like this but not a glasspack design. I want it tucked up there

    Ya im always in 4 lo, but i go between 1st and 2nd most of the time. Being able to shift a little quicker going up a hill would help keep up my momentum.

    Denis so glad to hear this. I know it's been tough for you for quite a while. Hope he keeps on the right track.

    Scott, never know what to say when I hear something like this. Just stay there for him (as much as you can). He seems like a good kid the couple of times that I meet him. Will keep him in my prayers.

    I know this is dragging on but I put the shower walls in yesterday. What a POS, I woke up this am thinking about it and they will come out tonight after work. It is a two piece wall unit and the seam sucks. It only has 4 bolts holes so it bellys in between the holes due to the silicone bead. I will drill more holes and add more stainless hardware to help eliminate the belly issue.

    Can you cut some 2x4s with some feet on the ends to wedge between the wall and shower wall? That way you can keep pressure on the shower wall while the silicone sets up. Just a thought. The less holes the better when dealing with water haha.

    The holes are actually where the two flanges pull the to wall pieces together leaving a "smooth" (ya right) wall surface not the attachment flange for the wall

    A slew of pricey stuff my wife hates me for.
    It's stupid hot outside. Do NOT run 4.5 miles, I just did and it's not worth it.

    I'll try to keep my run down to 4.4 miles. :D I like the heat. Sucks when it's so humid that I'm sweating while doing nothing in the shade though.

    I'm up in Freeport right now and it's a little muggy, but not that bad. Overcast too.
