    Hey, nice grilling utensils on the wall!

    Yeah, I need tires pretty bad as well. They are still the originals. Or at the least I need them balanced. But I will mostly likely be going with the BFG's. Would rather spend the money on an exhaust, but without tires, the truck won't be going very far.

    Thanks for the comments guys,

    I am so ready to use those grillin goodies but its still cold.

    I am always up for a GTG. Ro and I are away the first and last weekend of June for some RC heli events.

    Spring clean up list;

    Install Bump steer kit

    Install the energy suspension leaf spring bushings I have been putting off.

    I am looking at installing an e-Fan. The fan drive lines are beginning to ooze at the top over the fan shroud. Just trying to decide which way to go.

    The engine oil lines are still good at this point but I know sometime soon they will need replaced as well.

    SS brake lines.

    Yea, thats what I am thinking. If I am going to take the front apart I should go ahead and get all the lines while I am there.

    Hell yeah, I'm ready! Are you talking just a small meet up, or is that gonna be the Mohegan meet? I read on the challenger forums that the other mopar meet at Mohegan might not happen, or at least the person in charge can't help plan this year. Hopefully someone figures it out!

    UIH,

    Some more goodies in the house. I pick up schnizzle here and there, set it off to the side and when I get tired of looking at it sitting there, I will install it. I still need to order the SS oil lines. Once I jump in, I want to make sure I get everything done while I have access.

    Some pics

    UIH,

    Butch

    Good morning Gents,

    Thanks for the comments.

    When I bought my truck in Feb 05, a place called Sport Truck Solutions had a deal for the "flush" Tonneau painted to your trucks color code and a Bed Rug for something like a $1000 bucks shipped.

    I believe several VTCoA members jumped on that deal.

    In my opinion it is by far the best looking Tonneau cover as it sits flush, and inside to the top of bed gunnel. It keeps the bed profile low for a lean mean look.

    I am not sure STS is still in business. I believe they were located in Huntington Beach CA.
