Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"

Installed a new yoke and differential cover today. The diff cover is from Sprectre Racing. For those of you that saw the other post on clearing the panhard bar; ECE has sent out a "Curved" Super Track Bar that will clear this cover.

first the photos: the office got torn apart for renovating and everything (Desks, PCs, etc. were actually out in the warehouse for a while. Then we started moving back in and I need new signs made for the building.........SO the quick way to get the files to the sign shop was on the SD Memory card out of the camera (thumb drives, cd burners, etc. are too well thought out to be "The quick way"). Now I have the memory card back (along with some pretty nice signs) and the LCD screen on my 17" widescreen XPS laptop seems to be DEAD which is the only PC I have with a SD memory card reader (can't find the USB cable for the camera). So; as soon as I get things together there will be more pictures.

second: wait for the photos

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"

instead of a business man you should run for a political office. You just used 400 words to say what takes most people 4!

guess i'll have to go here to see pics of your truck!
