Well brian (turbo) came up from FL, to do his BL and we got him all done and squared away. Dustin came over from from georgia and was a huge help and amanda came down from Tenn to well, supervise...lol!!! I buffed out brians headlights and amanda's and woulda done dustin's if he had taken off his brush guard. AND there's several funny stories and one in particular about wal-mart i'll tell later in this thread. Anyways got all that done and my ohc and expo mirror, which im still workin on, that's another story....lol!!!! But all in all had a very productive and FUN weekend!!!! AND ONE MORE THING!!! Im gonna say this because i feel its very important to point out to everyone. I know a lot of silly things are said to another on here but always remeber that person you MAY need help from one day. Like today i was havin trouble on my OHC install and called stone, justin, trent, and dustin tonight and finally got the answer i needed!!! That was sooooooo awsome to have those good connections to help me along, You **** someone off and you wont get it from some....just FYI!!! LOL

I'll start another thread on my OHC install that brian helped me with i just wanted to dedicate this one to him!!

 

Looks like fun. I hope the supervisor didn't crack the whip to hard on ya. Turbo, you truck looks good man!

 

Awesome job! The temp mods were the best

 

Holy crap Dustin, have you been wearing the same clothes since the Knoxville meet?



Truck looks awesome, Brian, as I said in text form, lol.

 

Looks good Ya'll..

 

Wish I could of been there for it

 

You pulled a Trent.

 

ya dustin needs a make over with some new outfits lol

 

No I actually had a good reason not to be there. Unlike trent lol

 

Pimp my Dustin.....

Or Extreme Makeover: Dustin edition.

 

That's true. I'm not gonna give you to much of a hard time cause you had a good reason.

Dustin really does need some help. I guess that blow to the head with the football really messed him up.

 

That wouldn't have happened if he had moar catfish, IMO.

 

I see josh. I am not important to be added into the list. I see how it is. Had a great time. sorry had to leave early. had some duties to take care of. Looks grreat. good to meet u brian and amanda, Good times. and yes josh. i know no what u mean...

 

 

Trucks looking good turbo. What size tires you running?

 

Thanks for all the kudos, folks!

I must say, none of it would have been possible without the friends I have made on this forum.

Josh is an awesome host, a willing and capable mechanic in his own right, and an all-around great guy -- and his mom knows how to grill, too!! ;-)

Dustin may not be wide receiver material, nor headed anywhere near the NFL... but you won't find a more capable and willing mechanic... he showed up, made introductions, and went straight to work.

Steven is a great assistant (takes direction pretty well, for a young'un!) and would make a capable taxi driver as well ;-) (thanks for the transport, mid-project, to and from the motel, bud!!)

Amanda is a wonderful supervisor -- just the right amount of fun and hijinx, but knows how to crack the whip when necessary. I should also point out that she's more than willing and able to pitch in with the manual labor, as well. I'm told she makes a mean dessert, but cannot comment first-hand (because Josh "forgot" to share!!)

Mike -- you're forgiven for not chippin' in on the heavy lifting -- you DID have a good reason, and I'm glad everything turned out for the best -- it was great meeting you, and I'm looking forward to seeing the pics from our short outing into the mud!

okay, Josh... time for the stories, I guess.. go ahead and tell them the one about how I instructed you on the fine art of negotiation and retailer manipulation ("damn yankee" northern-style, with a slight (somewhat mimicked, but excellently delivered!) southern good ol' boy charm!



robert -- those are 31s

 

Looks good was it a 3" body lift?

Amanda looks pissed

 

Sorry steven...lol oops!! Well if it weren't for dustin, amanda, and steven being there it wouldn'a gotten done when it did. Me and brian had about 3hrs or runnin around to do, between swappin tires on rims pickin up bolts, impact because my crapped out, ect, ect. SOOOOO dustin brings his 31x10.5x15's and selles them to brian for $125. The tires are still NEW 4k or so on them. So we go to swap them out and i noticed a bubble on one of the side walls. So on the way BACK to the garage i told brian i was goin to go buy him a new tire because i couldn't, and wouldn't let him drive home on that, and then dustin tried sellin the tires for like a $1 after that and brian woudln't let him...lol! anyways we go to wal-mart, pull in and talk to the lady, and i say "hey, this is my buddy from tallahassee and he JUST got these tires there and i noticed a bubble in the side wall. she asked if he had road hazard and he said no. then she said well you have to pay for new one and i said well if we do we do, but that's not road hazard thats, MANF defect, then brain says well thats fine if we have to buy another tire, but it'll be the last tire i buy from wal-mart, and then the mangr step's in, and is like what's the prob. We explain the above and he say if you pay $10 for the road hazard on new tire he'll replace it.....LOL so brian goes if i pay $10 you'll give me a new tire? So he got a brand new $110 tire for $10!!!! HAHAHAHAHA it was great!!

 

ANNND THEN...lol when we get back brian was gonna start on amanda's OHC install and it was like 3 or something by then and amanda says she was gonna leave in a lil while so we could just do it another weekend.....so like 3 hrs later amanda is still there and i kept teaseing her sayin "hey brian coulda already had it done" LOL it was funny!!!!

 

Looks really good man! Love it! We need MOAR lifted silver frost metallic trucks on the site! lol

Brian, time for some of my body lift replacement brackets!

 

Looks good Brian... but I already told you that... haha

Josh hunny... your garage looks a lil dirty... I'm not the kind of wifey that will clean up after you.....

LMAO

 

Trevor... body lift replacement brackets? replacements for what?

NAW it's not technically mine, its my brother-n-laws across the street, I just use it when i need it and yes i cant stand the mess, goin to clean it all out today and tomm!! I am a very neat and clean and orderly person....ask brian he saw my house....LOL and im in the middle of remodeling.
