Correct. Or any beer that ends in Light. I'm a beer snob.

Thanks for the compliment on the canopy. I really like it. It is nice being able to lock stuff up and keep it dry. I have also always been a big fan of the frameless window look.

I have an ARE Z series and love it. Is that an ARE or Leer? I've had mine off for 2 months sue to doing a lot of work on my house. Putting it back on later this month for hunting season, I miss it. Makes it an old man truck, but sure is useful.

Well the Gotts mod should work, I have never seen it done, no experience. Just seen a write up and told it works. I guess you can try it and hope for the best. A rear cat won't matter at all though, its just basically a "clean up" cat, to catch anything the first missed. If it doesn't have an O2 sensor after it (downstream) it's not monitored by the computer and won't throw a code. This varies by year/make/model but on most modern vehicles this is how it works. Your front O2 sensor/AF sensor monitors the exhaust to help adjust your air/fuel ratio. The second O2 sensor monitors the cat, making sure it is doing it's job. So if the problem is a cat after the second O2 sensor, it is not being monitored and won't cause a light even if you removed it completely

The hull is the floor. The trailer now has 15" aluminum wheels all around and I installed hydraulic brakes on it summer of 2012. I also enlarged my pole barn so it has a place to sit over winter. Like my hot rod, the boat is a kick to drive. It has incredible acceleration, turns on a dime, and is a regatta winner with me driving and my youngest son navigating.

I've been addicted to speed for a long time...

[MENTION=158662]frank_a[/MENTION] That is so cool. Sounds awesome. I had a need for speed a couple years ago until I went on one of those NASCAR driving experience at Daytona, and almost screamed my head off. It was scary and I lost my voice for a few days..ha ha ha
I noticed your son had cut his hair and beard around page 3 of the boat build...ha ha

Trail has gotten a little rough since I have been up it last and had the rear wheel lift and the truck sway back and forth in one spot which was a little scary, but hey I made it and it was fun. Got some great shots while I was up there as well!

[MENTION=143499]Bdukes55[/MENTION] Awesome and beautiful. Good looking truck too.
