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?

Wow, you made me spit water all over my computer, cough, choke and what was left drained through my nose.......
Needless to say, that was funny!!!

YOu know they say dogs resemble their owners...... It's a damn good thing that's not true about trucks.... atleast for me. I have no idea how I would build a "weeble-wobble" '67 rat!!

HoupPhotography · 04-19-2008, 08:06 AM

Back to the top for John....

I thought I loaded all of the photo's, here are the rest of 'em..

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.

**Yukon Jack** · 04-19-2008, 05:34 PM

Awesome pics btw!

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!

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!
