how do you like the mini-leaf pack? any reason you did not go with the dual purpose leaf springs?

 

$600 bux I couldnt justify spending... mini's were $400, dual purpose are $1000 IIRC..

Oh and while i'm at it here... the mini leafs do an awesome job soaking up the crap on the trials i'm on. the bilsteins are also awesome, the only place they dont shine is on a washboard road... the Edelbrocks get the nod there...

on the way out yesterday, I had it in 2wd and was having a little fun trying to get the truck sideways on the smoother portions of the road out... nothing big but enough to correct the steering wheel.

 

I've got the Mississippi River here also. I realize it's not known for its beauy but I'm not going to knock it. I as well as tens of thousands of folks work on the river or in an industry directly on the river or support of those primary indutries. Yeah, especially down here in the New Orleans area, we see all the crap floating downstream from the watershed of the midwest, but this river is a vital economic mainstream for the counrty. OK, I'll step off my soapbox and make my flight reservations to go out and hang with Steve in the Sierras !!!!!!!!

 

HOLY CRAP is that the boat you drive ?!?!?!?

 

& ski behind?

 

It's one of the bigger ones that come into the river. She's around 100,000 dead weight tonnage, 800' overall length, happens to be in ballast condition of around 28'. When loaded, they come in around 40' to 45' draft. This is a segment of the path of where your diesel comes from! Below is a pic of me firing on the looters in New Orleans after Katrina!

 

I would take anyting smaller than that to the big easy durring a riot

might need the neigbor to help sigt it in though

 

Awesome pics steve. Wish I lived closer so I could head out with you guys.
