If truck prices weren't insane right now, I may just move on. My friend paid 7500 for a SCREW that's in really rough shape. I'm dumb, but I'm not stupid.

Lol, that's cool.

These guys are crazy, usually get kick out. They just finished their own track , built it in their yard. Paved the track and their shipment of cars came in. Not totally ready yet.

Anyway, yea, a little bit of their nonsense, go to 2:40 for the race, -

Actually they have come down quite a bit. 90% of what I'm looking at are at blue book now. But of course, the truck I'm interested in is 8 grand over BB, got everything worked out but the price...even shipping. Cheaper to ship vs me flying out and driving it home. Regardless, don't think it's going to happen. Willing to go litter over BB but not that much and he hasn't budged on the price yet.

Anyway, yea, prices are back down for the most part, but there are still some out there in lala land.

I still think the prices are nutty here.

Anything that I'd want is way too much - and anything that is where I'd want to pay.... well, I may as well keep mine.

Some of those are over priced, some aren't too bad.

That's not bad at all, Brew.... that bed would work for me, LOL.

I just went out and aligned the headlights. I did a pretty decent job doing it by eye....



I freaking love this tool, BTW. it makes headlight adjustment a breeze.

They look good from here. Have something like that, actually a couple of them. Couldn't recall what they were for at the time. They have the knurled end but not that roundish deal.

This actually doesn't have any gears in it... but it's ratcheting. I'd love to see what's inside that makes it work, lol.

Reminds me of a one way clutch in a transmission....
