    Brand new.
    Never give up hope, there is always something better on the other side, but remember don't jump at the first opportunity, negotiate your terms and conditions. benefits for you and your family are key.

    What do you do now?

    Its ongoing. Wife continues to feel like poop and the little guy is still throwing up. Gracie has been good, so far, but is exhausted from a bad nights sleep.

    On a side note, I didnt like your post for obvious reasons, shit sucks man. I hope you can find something where you are happier.

    I sit and stare at a computer all day, dealing with vendors we purchase from and dealing with CSRs and sales people in our company.

    Constantly getting crap from everyone about why stuff is late, didn't ship, why this, why that, and getting questioned about why I do or don't do this and that.

    And what irks me the most is that (in my opinion) people don't believe me or trust me when I say things and give them answers. There is clearly a "favorite" person in my small department, and it is not me; it's my co-worker. I get the feeling that people believe him more than me, even if we both give them the same answer. Maybe it's just me, and maybe not. Either way, almost at my limit with this.

    Nice ride.
    Wish they had the engine specs rather than the generic "replacement 350".

    Nothing bad about a 10 bolt, as long as you're not flogging the car with 900 hp to the wheels. :rofl:
    I run a 10 bolt with 4:11s with no issues with an occasional "clearing the pipes" once in a while.
    (have an old 10 bolt posi carrier on the shelf as a spare)

    Never had Keystones, but ran Crager Street Tricks back in the early days.

    My close-to-40 year old lacquer paint is finally failing. New spider cracks are revealing themselves.
    May have to get one last repaint for the road.
    If so, back to original red, black top and black Rally stripe.

    Were the the Street Tricks the chrome and the Super Tricks the brushed? Or is my sieve-like memory failing me

    My bad, I had the chrome SSTs.
    Car originally had the 14in skinny Nova Rallys ,then 15"SSTs,then switched to 15" Rallys that are on it now when the car was painted in the mid 80s.

    Welcome aboard :hattip:


    What's your plans for your truck? Then people can really help.

    Do you plan on going offroad? Do you know for sure it's never going offroad and you just want lift? Are you after a softer or more likely a firmer ride? Oh and budget?

    Bet there's even guys here that will help install it...:anonymous:


    In warmer weather

    Yeah it's serving as a good home to Lowes back to home hauler as a new home owner this year. Not to many Interesting roads to drive with it around here. Bought with 102k miles for 18k$. Probably paid too much but didn't everybody this year. Irish native, moved to US 2 years ago and needed to buy my own instead of sharing one car with the wife. Was always a Hilux lover back home coming from a farming family.
