    I'm currently working at Pt Thomson. Construction is slated for first quarter 2016 completion, the extremely high safety environment weeds out the careless. There's also been a huge boon in CH2 out here due to the short time-table for oil production.

    Personally I enjoy working on the Conoco side of the fence, people actually enjoy their work over there and seem to be much happier and easier to deal with. Although Pt Thomson is small enough that you get to know everyone, much like working at every other satellite facility (Badami, Endicott, Milne Point, Alpine, etc).

    Awesome, Thanks!

    Do they look good enough for a 90 foot jump?

    Psh! Bone stock is plenty for that, I've seen video evidence of it! In all seriousness this is a beefy leaf pack. I wouldn't think twice about a 90 footer.

    Haha, I'm sure the leaf pack would handle it, not so sure about the truck? I think I'm going to try and keep the wheels on the ground!

    I bet you could remove it as it's not super deep. I removed most of it with black wax, but it will defiantly show in the sun. I'll probably wait until winter is over and then have it detailed.

    Sweet man! Just let me know, I also have a steam cleaner, and hot water extractor on the way to do some crazy good interiors and engine bays, so if you ever want an inside and out that can also be done

    Good! Been taking her out once a week just to get the tires turning and keep everything lubed up. I may get so tired of your weathertechs catching on the clutch that I trim them for you...

    I would ... And beware, when they get hard in the really cold, you might need to trim again; I had to.
