We had our first Az meet-n-greet this afternoon, just wanted to share a photo since you all love 'em and there are some really kick ass rides around these parts.... You can see in the photo, everyone of these trucks are Ka-Leen!!

**70cst** · 04-14-2008, 02:39 AM

More Pictures. Those are great looking trucks! Looks like all had a good time.

**53burb** · 04-14-2008, 02:46 AM

I wanted to go to this. I only found out about this a couple of days ago, but I work on Saturdays anyways.....Any plans for the next one yet???

Sure sure sure... rub it in!

Looks like a great meet, and a lot of great rides.

Must be nice if it was held today in Missouri the trucks would have had cheesey bras because it was so cool.

1LoC10 · 04-14-2008, 05:33 AM

looks like fun, i like how you lined em up, like they keep getting lower and lower

HoupPhotography · 04-14-2008, 08:43 AM

It was a great time and they are ALL great people! Hell, "whatnow" figured out my darn oil leak as soon as I opened my hood..... ( I bought new valve cover bolts on my way home)

So before I get the "Useless thread with out pics" here they are.... you guys have been pretty patient....

Riveted1 · 04-14-2008, 10:42 AM

Man I wish I could've made that meet! My truck is still in parts, but it would have been good to meet you guys in person. Maybe next time I won't have to work! Would be cool to have a barbecue or something sometime.

At the next meet, we'll need to do a better job on letting all of the Arizona folks notified.

**70cst** · 04-14-2008, 10:42 PM

Thanks for the pics...Nice looking trucks. Can't say much about the owners?

pmpski_1 · 04-19-2008, 08:35 AM

Nice clean trucks, palm trees, sun....Must be nice

SufferInTruth · 04-19-2008, 10:00 AM

I would have attended if my truck was done and/or if I didn't have to work night shift right now. Free time has been extremely limited, as I'm working 72 hours per week. Just to give you guys a clue, I work at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station out in Tonopah, AZ, and we're currently in the midst of a refueling outage for Unit 2.

HoupPhotography · 04-19-2008, 10:24 AM

No problem, it would of been cool to have you there, I think were having another one in October.

I think not having their ride done kept a lot of ppl from showing up. But if all those people showed up, and made connections, we might all get our trucks done a lot faster! Mine is in pieces atm too, and I had to work, but I would have gone anyway if I could have!

**Yukon Jack** · 04-19-2008, 05:34 PM

Awesome pics btw!

bad_turbo · 04-19-2008, 06:23 PM

Nice!!! I might have to move back to Phoenix.

hollywood68 · 04-19-2008, 10:13 PM

Beeeeutiful trucks guys, looks like everyone had a great time.

Houp, if you dont mind me asking what is your truck running for suspension? I know you have bags but from what I can find you are still running drums up front...so no drop spindles. How do you get that low of a stance, whats your secret?

thanks

Thanks man!! The front was a little tricky, I took the lower A arm off and cut the middle out, to bring the wheel in and made a bag mount, and I put bump stops on the top of the shortened A arms so the wheels have about 1\16th of an inch of clearance from the front fenders when it's layed out.
I drove it to the meet like that because my compressor seized, I almost get full steering out of it when it's deflated.

EDIT: it was more trial, error, oopps and WTF did I do that for.......lol!

HoupPhotography · 04-20-2008, 02:04 AM

Here is a better photo of the front...

Here is one of the wheel clearance...

hollywood68 · 04-20-2008, 09:51 PM

Thanks for the info, looks like it worked out great. Sending you a PM so I dont hijack this thread.

Bump for some great trucks and fantastic photography!
