    Funny you ask, it can't seem to make it's mind up. In the mornings it's around 40-45 and slowly rises to around 65-70 in the afternoon.

    Cold mornings and nice afternoons, but I'm dreading when the real cold days set in... :eek:

    i gotcha covered. i have steel for the cb mounts ready to go. haven't had time to draw up the altered rack design yet though to figure out how much material it will take.

    we're the same way down here. wake up in the 60s and then it gets up to the mid 80s during the day. it's sad, but 60s feels cold to me now :eek:

    as long as there's snow this winter, the cold will be worth it :D

    talk to mike, he'll give you the contact for the guy who owns the company that made them if you ever want to order them. there's a thread somewhere around here with the other stickers that we got made.

    you think you'll make it to the citrus meet in january?

    If I can think of a good place to put them I will. I like my doors how they are with nothing on them to have just the silver and black of the flares.

    I should be able to make the meet. That's the first weekend after break so I doubt I'll have any tests the following week.

    you can choose all kinds of colors, so you could even get it in silver and go for the ghost sticker look

    cool man, i like the 295s so far. what tire you think you'll go with?

    i need to get another full truck picture. the ass end sits a little higher than the front, but that last picute makes it look a lot higher than it really is for some reason. i do need a little rake though since i tow a fair amount. also, the front suspension handles a lot better sitting a little lower with the extra drop, and without the extra preload, it's easier to get the full flex out of the front when needed.
