I'll try to make it. Maybe even bring more than one truck if there's room. Hope more members chime in as it's not really worth doin if only three guys are there. lol

Looks like someone keyed my truck Sunday at the Lakewood Meet. They were not there When I left home, and did not see them until a few minutes ago. I have an idea who it was. I will keep you guys updated.

That's more than a keying, looks like someone dragged a pallet down the whole side. Holy smokes!!

Heres the thing, I have to come through an alley to pull in my backyard. I back in so I pass my gate then back in, for the first time, I scraped my bumper and as soo as I heard it, I stopped. The problem, as I backup, my wheels are turned to the left and im away from the wall so backing up I hit the bumper. The other reason it cant be the wall, if you look between the bed and cab, you see marks going behind the cab, a flat wall can do that.

You are absolutely correct!!! LOL

After retracing my steps, I remembered, coming down my alley, it was two knuckle heads, one in an old tore up tow truck and he was blocking half the alley while working on his friends truck. As I squeezed by I heard the noise on the side of my truck, as I passed I looked back to see some bushes. I think it was a small palm in there, but did not think it did any harm.
So it was my fault and the idiots blocking the alley.

Clusmy me!!

I'm pretty much out of commission for the rest of the summer. My truck has a date with the painter in two weeks. I'm just beginning to tear it down. Big job to deconstruct, mark, and document, although the it's easier to tear down than to reconstruct. I may meet up with you guys a few times in my vette. Cheers, Lee

Lee I think if you make it to the Valley in your Vette will be good enough for us as long as you make it.

So I changed my coils from 4 inch to 5 inch today. Not a bad stance, I still want to add drop spindles and maybe lowering blocks. So I took the truck out to test and it was a different ride, still early but it was a smoother ride.
Get back home and my radiator springs a leak.

Thanks Dano.

Now trying to decided if im going to get the dropped spindles, if so it will be done before our meet in the Valley. That would give me a 5 on 5 drop.
