Bring on the warmth

so i just ordered a list of parts for my truck and now i cannot wait for the warm weather so i can tare into her..
i already have a new cluster and new set of speakers and window tint to do..
and today i got a new lower control arm with ball joint new master cyclinder (not a rebuild) and new shocks for the front.. i paid 250 for the lca balljoing shocks and master cyc.. is that a decent price? i thought it was fair its all new parts from auto parts plus..

now i just have to wait for the warm weather.. should make for a good weekend or two!!

Re: Bring on the warmth

ba! 80 deg, you guys think you have it so good, (little jealous actually) Well today I'm going to jump on my sled, or snowmobile, the machine that drives over the snow for those that don't know...lol They freakin ROCK, cause where I live you don't need to follow a trail, you can just point and shoot. SERIOUS FREEDOM. ride where ever you want on a 150hp machine that weighs nothing

Re: Bring on the warmth

it was cold here this morn'n, then it rain'd for a bit, then the sun came out and it kinda warm'd up, then it hail'd (sun still shine'n) , then the wind kick'd up and it got colder than crap ! and thought Tennessee had crazy weather, I am ready for 120 deg day's.
