What a weekend
So this weekend was a party for the local truck club I play with. WOW what fun we had!!! One of our members has a great house with a WONDERFUL shop and was nice enough to let us all come to his house to play.
There were a billion trucks there! Mostly Dodge, a good handful of Furds and even a token Chuby or two . One guy has an F450 with a 12V Cummins in it; "Fummins" as he calls it did pretty well in the mud pit. One guy didn't do so hot in the mud; well maybe he was to hot He burnt up the insulation under the hood.
The guys jumped in and did everything from installing new lights, tranny services, replaced a pinion yoke, one guy had an entire power-coated custom job to put in under the hood on his race truck. Wow there were a lot of wrenches dropped and even more beers taken down.
Here are the pics I took http://picasaweb.google.com/lilfroger/NWBomberParty2008
Once the video of the 'bombvoy' gets on the net I'll bring it over. What a sight that was there had to have been a good 40 rigs in a row cruising up I-5.
My truck is very very very very very very very very LOUD with a trailer behind it. I might have been the only truck there w/ a Jake Brake on. Everyone else was running Pac Brakes; those things are so much quieter than my Jake
If you don't have a local club to do get-togethers with find one. What fun!

RE: What a weekend
Biggen's truck is pretty different. He has a good buddy who does powder-coating so they've gone a bit nuts with it. But not only is all the coating blue....but it is a blue metal flake so it sparkles . The bumper is some road-armor beast. He got that truck stuck in the mud-pit; no front drive line so he was stuck in 2x4. And to add insult to injury he locked the keys in the truck while it was RUNNING stuck in the pit. Poor guy is never gonna live it down.
Simon spent some time talking w/ the owner of the 1st Gen....he has a ton of work into it. They mounted new bed sides and repaired the tail gate then painted it. He used it to tow his trailer up and it just purrrrrrrss like a kitten.
That red truck is a mean mean mean race rig!!!!!!!
