The ice storm made the roads pretty bad where I live.On my way home from work I got to go up a hill that's like 3 miles long and pretty steep.Anyway people was trying to climb it and spinning out so they was turning around and creeping back down like 2 mph.I gave it a try and had no trouble in 4wd.Everyone I passed flashed their lights like they didn't think I was going to do it.I Proved them wrong.

Darn right.We need another foot or two to make it really interesting.Me and Brian2001 live like 10 minutes from each other so we have the same road conditions.

Almost killed my truck today guys. Close one. My road is like pure ice and I was just goin about 20 and came around a curve and a jacka*^ was almost at a dead stop in the middle of the road. Went to stop and just slid. Its a small back road so I hit the ditch went around a came back out. I was in 2wd and done it with ease. Turned out it was my dads GF.. lol

Should look great. Plan to crank mine but I can't seem to get passenger front shock bolt out to change the busted shock. Sits lower on that side so wouldnt do me much good.

The bottom. I changed the driver shock but broke the bolt and had to drill it out and get a nut and bolt to hold it. think ill replace the lower control arm because i dont like it being fixed like that.
