Re: newly washed for spring pictures.....share yours

I got a head start (for the Northeast) on mine 2 weeks ago when my truck was in a big indoor show in Massachusetts.
There's still a lot of snow, salt and potholes in our area so my truck will be on hiatus for another month, at least. It's been a tough winter here.

Great looking Truck. Mine is far from show worthy. It has been in the 50s here for the past week and 60 this weekend so looks like spring is peeking in on eastern Washington!

Gorgeous! Mine will take a bit more than a little soap and water to clean up and make sparkly.

Talking Re: newly washed for spring pictures.....share yours

Just finished washing mine headed to the local truck meet in Greenville SC for lunch.
I drive mine all year here, never let it sit long unless it's to have something fixed are modified! I like driving it. Don't get much of the white stuff around here either. Here are a couple of pic's before I leave.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Heated garage and a project is what it takes to live here, you end up getting quite a bit of work done when there is nothing else to do.

Wink Re: newly washed for spring pictures.....share yours

Drove over to Greenville SC and had lunch with 34 other truck guys and women! Had a blast and saw some very nice trucks and meet some very nice people. Spring is here.
Here are a couple of pics.
