    Welcome to Alabama. Yes, you do find a lot of racism still prevalent, bt no, it's not like you will go into a gas station and see a "Whites Only" sign on the bathroom door. To be honest most of the racism I have seen in my time here is actually reverse racism. And yes, Old school money runs the south.

    No off-road trips, nobody had anything else to do I am guessing. lol.

    Oh, and I had a BLAST at the Talladega race!

    Oh yea, I'm thinking that they come set at 0 but I'll have to recheck that before I get them put together.

    Dave, I am thinking after we looked at it the other day that I might crank up the front coils maybe a turn or two. What do you think? I am used to the simple bolt-on suspension lifts, not ones you can adjust. lol.

    They should come set to 0, yes.

    Yes, this!

    I don't think it would make any difference. You'll still have to cut and hammer the same places for your flex.

    I figured as much. Good thing I got a solid hammer! Lmao. So when we going wheeling? You won't believe this but not only did that gal I told you about indicate that she would like to go with me on the next trip, but her roommate was almost dancing over the chance to go! I am trying to figure out how to fit the two of them in my truck without removing the speaker box in the back! Hahaha. Now I wish I had a CC!

    Well you said you couldn't this weekend, so how about the following weekend? (2nd and 3rd) We can hit the Slab so we don't have super-long drives. Never been there before anyway.

    So I know you guys don't know most of the guys I wheel with from the cruiser club, but if any of y'all are of the prayin' sort, I would really appreciate some prayers for a buddy and fellow 4x4 enthusiast. (Paul may have met him out at AU a while back)

    He had meningitis about 5 years ago that landed him in the hospital for 7 months, and resulted in having a shunt to drain cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) into his gut. Long story short, he got an infection where the shunt inserted into his gut and now his CSF is infected. He's been in the hospital for a week, and is going in surgery tomorrow morning to have a tube inserted in the top of his head, and the shunt will be removed. After that he's in the neuro ICU until they get rid of the infection 100%, and then another shunt will be put in I assume.

    Guy's name is Eric, and he's a good guy that deserves better than this shitty hand that's being dealt his way. Any thoughts and prayers his way would be really appreciated.
