    front license plate bracket

    I bought a cheap bracket and zip tied it to the honeycombs...attached the plate and bent the bottom of the plate up so that it wouldn't rub against the spoiler...it doesn't look to bad...no drilling and gets the job done. About $9 bucks.

    Some fantastic mechanicing.

    I don't think so..I still need to climb under there and inspect though...I didn't see anything that stood out once they pulled the wheel off.

    Some fantastic mechanicing.

    They sent a tow truck for the truck this morning...got it into the shop, replaced the tie rod and realigned it. They scratched their heads as to how it could have happened but didn't charge me anything to get the work done. It's nice to have it back.

    Some fantastic mechanicing.

    I plan on calling them first thing in the morning. I'll give them the chance to make it right and I'm sure they will. It is nice to think about what I could do with an extra $50k though.

    Some fantastic mechanicing.

    The handling has been off since I got it back a few weeks ago. It only popped out of position today...I was going to have them take a look at it later this week when I took it in for a brake job....but I think I might be going somewhere else for that work now.

    Some fantastic mechanicing.

    From what I've seen it scuffed up the inside of the rim and tire a little bit...luckily it happened as I was pulling up to the house and not while I was racing around town earlier.

    Some fantastic mechanicing.

    I had the front right lower ball joint replaced at the Browns Dodge Stealership here in Charlottesville a few weeks ago. The truck has seemed a bit off after getting it back and now I think I know why. I'm going to call them in the morning and ask them if they had any left over parts after...

    Nitto 420s vs Continental Conti Cross contact?

    I just mounted the Nitto 420's last week. I have a couple hundred miles on them now. I don't know anything about tires but one thing I've noticed with the Nittos (compared to the Pirelli's) is that there is a lot more play in the steering when cornering. The first time I cornered at speed I...

    Favorite energy drinks

    Full Throttle's Unleaded and Sobe Adrenaline Rush, both sugar free. I drink two or three a day. I've tried just about every drink out there and these two are by far the best. Xyience energy drinks are good if you can find them.

    COMPUTER GUYS! Need some help with my IE connection...

    Oil change this morning....somethings off!

    I took the truck into the dealership this morning for an oil change. They rang it up and I drove off. I tend to watch the oil gauges more than I do the spedometer and I noticed I wasn't getting the pressure that I usually do. I normally run close to 75psi and I was getting somewhere around 60. I...
