Lot of great pics here, makes mine look frumpy. I won't be able to make it for tomorrow if any of you guys are planning anything. Going to tackle a repair on one of the trucks as well as a cosmetic upgrade.

Those '09s+ are looking more and more sharp. I really wanted a 6'5" bed with my crew cab but they were only available on '06+ from what I gather. Great pics, great trucks.

Good to see you did a brake upgrade there Jeff. Keep away from Richmond and your brake pads will last a long time.

]Angelo,

Nope didn't plan anything didn't hear of anyone wanting to do something,
Good luck with your Mods

I need to finish my Interior Mods the door kits I bought from Sherwood the 3D Dark Burl kit, but its too cold right now for it to stick properly....

I might order my exhaust soon, I want the Mach1 from Solo Performance duals with dual tips, it has the old car muscle sound....If I do my 6" lift or 4" not sure yet, My Buddy wants to buy my leveling kit from me.....so that will be a Plus and not wasted.....

Everyone enjoy the sunshine this week!! ther talking +17 later on....

Cheers!

ON a Side Note:

Here is what the Challenger will look like if I get one except the stripes will be painted on , and not a decal....with a red pearl, and I 'll have chrome 22" wheels, and fatest tires I can put under it...

Love the Challengers, always have. Only really nice looking musclecar as of the moment. The started liking the newer style Mustangs after the S197 generation but they still look too short and fat for me. I like long and lean. I can't remember if the Challengers have independent rear suspension. I hope they do, that's one thing about musclecars that they need to modernize.

Back to modifications on our trucks, you're going to need new steps if you're planning a 6-inch lift. What brand levelling kit did you get? I wouldn't mind levelling mine out, but recently my ride has been like crap so I might have to bite then bullet and replace the front and rear shocks and springs. But I can deal with a squirrely ride for now, after all my other truck is a Ram 1500.

I didn't get a chance to do the upgrade and repairs on my trucks this afternoon. I was just too busy with all sorts of other stuff. Did manage to clean the Ford though. That was nice.

Yep have the steps picked the power steps cause these dam ones are no good they look great but are too tight to the cab and if I just do a 4" im still going to have to make brakets and pull them out about 3-4"

My 3" leveling kit is Pro Comp, life time warranty, so far no rattles or squeeks, and with the 34", if I go ready lift bigger A-arms its 3.5" and the new tires are going to 20" 325's, I don't want to go too high I plan to buy a 26'- 5th wheel with a slide out after I sell my truck and camper,

But I might go new lift kit 4"......still have to do my reviews yet......but Im thinking Im getting anew truck 2015-16 so might wait and go 6" with that and just keep this 3-4"....and be happy with what I have......specially once I sell my Car and replace it with the challenger

here is my car im going to get rid of and truck and camperName:  38553_414527767851_2703106_n.jpg

I've been really busy finishing up a job. I won't be able to make it to any meet for this weekend. Tomorrow is the only day I have off and I really have to replace my lower ball joints before they fall off. Sorry guys, maybe in about a week or two when I'm able to catch up on work. I'm pounding out 12 hour days 6 days a week. Shortage of skilled workers in the field and apprentices I have to pay $19/HR to babysit.

Glad to hear you're able to get what you're entitled to. To me it doesn't matter if it's 80 acres of 8 square feet. What's yours belongs to you.

I got my ball joints in, only to find that I need tie-rods as well so I might have to tackle that this weekend. If so then I might not make it to anything this week.
