Thanks JP for the props. You are so right about the ground this year. Our permafrost has melted in the past 20 years and the ground has sunk in spots. It gets really bad on some of the old unpaved back roads. They are falling out from under their-selves.

Since I posted the pictures, I decided to change the stance to even. I took the other 1/2 inch out of the front. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. Damn this thing seems to be so much higher and drives so much better. I'll run it out tomorrow or Tuesday for the alignment. I double check the front end and everything is nice and tight so they can's say I need this or that. lol. Been there, done that.

Brew....I'm sure you are happy to be back with the monster on your tail. Our 1/2's are really hard pressed to pull the big trailers without 373 or 410 rear ends. It is funny how the new EcoBoost v6 will pull that like it's not there with 373's. They have the 355 also, but recommend the 373s for towing. Night and day difference. I tried a used 2013 two weeks ago from a local dealer, and was so impressed by the power. I didn't buy it. I don't like the looks of trying to work on that thing. It's nice, but I doubt many can afford a rebuilt motor and install. It would be cheaper to buy a used truck. LOL Anyways, glad you got it and got it home. Enjoy the toy.

Guess I didn't expect that from such a big dealership or experienced that sort of atmosphere from one in the past. It was fun.
Ohio has a lot of good guys!

I woke up today and read the news about Las Vegas.... holy smokes. Then about 2 minutes later I remembered my sister is in Vegas. So, I had to get on the horn and see if she was OK. Took me 45 minutes of panic to get a hold of her. Luckily she is alive and well, but holy cow was I worried.

This world has gone bat crap nutty.

Yes indeed. I know a couple people from there, and they're great people - yourself included.

I hope Utahn's are the same way.

Yeah, I hope so as well. I was pretty nervous for a bit when I found out. Strangely enough, my sister knew nothing about it until I contacted her. They went there for vacation, but got the flu so they stayed in for the night..... and went to bed early.

This was from the hillside area of town this weekend. This momma Lynx brought her brood with her and they took over a family's deck on their house. The owners have over a half hours worth of these pictures. The Lynx came up and checked out the owner too. Very kewl.

The second picture is from around Juneau and their glacier. Note all the white swans.

One day I'm going to have to make it out there just to take it all on for myself.
