    I'd much rather have that and snow. But apparently Maine can't have a decent damn winter anymore.

    It's funny how below freezing feels cold in the fall but feels so warm in the spring. Snow is better than cold for me :p

    Not too long now boys (and girl :D )! Got the ol' mower outta its hiding spot. Grabbed the battery off the charger in the basement and it fired right up! My Echo weed-eater also fired right up without issue although I used their canned fuel at the end of the last season so I think that helped. Probably gonna replace my cheap push mower with a Honda self propelled unit this year.

    I need to get our leaves up one more time and take the vacuum system off so I can service it and change the blades.

    I used a hellwig helper spring on my T100 to compensate for the topper. If I were to do it again I would probably go roadmaster active suspension. For this truck I'm thinking about air bags but haven't decided if I want to deal with the possibility of leaks.

    People freak out about leaks on air bag systems, which, if it fails while under heavy load I get. At least leaks are easy to find with a soapy water mixture in a spray bottle. Spray each junction/fitting or spray down the bags. Wherever there's bubbles, you found the leak. At least with the quick connect fittings I deal with at work, it's very easy and simple to change out an air line or even fitting if the need arises.

    I ran airbags on my 2nd Gen (2007 AC/4cyl/5Spd/4x4) for 5 yrs; traded it on that POS Ram in 2016. Never had an issue with 'em and loved the flexibility they gave the little truck for hauling shtuff and towing my flatbed with 6x6 and enclosed 10x6 trailers.
    :hattip: Rest well

    I'm totally in support of running airbags. I've had the pleasure of hauling plenty of "shtuff" with other peoples rigs. Some had airbags and some didn't. The ones with airbags were always nicer to haul with, and once I have a truck I'm hauling my own shtuff with, I'll be putting airbags in it for sure.

    Edit: whoops! Forgot this was the stock thread. I meant I totally *wont* put bags in my next truck...

    My point of view & IMGOBO, they aren't a mod, more an accessory to enhance the truck's capability to do truck stuff. :thumbsup:
