Thanks to lolife99!

For those of us that frequent the suspension section of the board, I wanted to take a quick minute to thank lolife99 (aka Keith) for all the work he puts into this section as well as the board. He has taken it upon himself to create some very resourceful threads including:

"Drum to Disc" Conversions 60-70
6-lug Steel wheels for Disc brake Conversion

Without realizing it he has created other threads that turned into something larger than he could have imagined:

Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5

He has assisted many of us with:

Wheel Backspacing
Tire Sizes
Suspension Geometry
Knowledge on 67-72 and 73-87 Trucks, Blazers and Suburbans (including other years as well)

He has some of the coolest projects that any board member could own including Ginger, No-Life and his '71 2wd Blazer. (Pictured below)

For the time and effort he has put into making the suspension section (and the board) what it is, I just want to say "thanks." He's one of the best guys you will ever meet.

Props buddy!

Re: Thanks to lolife99!

Yeah, he's ok i guess... LOL

He's helped me out quite a bit as well with suspension questions on my project. The guy sends me messages etc, while he's on break at work and stuff. His dedication to helping others is re-dang-diculous and mucho appreciated.

LDO out.

Re: Thanks to lolife99!

Thanks for all the comments.
I appreciate it.

I'm just glad there are forums like this one.
So much info is shared here.
Either parts locating or just passing on knowledge.

Thanks again, Nate.

Re: Thanks to lolife99!

Keith has helped me very much, and I appreciate it so much. He is the type we all want and need on this forum. The suspension section is one I check each day to gain knowledge about different years of trucks that people post their questions about. He is a great assist and I would be glad to meet him some day....Jim

Re: Thanks to lolife99!

Meh! he's alright...

I watched Keith over the years as he quietly listened and learned. I was impressed with his ability to absorb this knowledge and retain it so well. His internal data base grew as he patiently answered the same questions over and over again.

When the time was right, I approached him about moderating here and he reluctantly accepted. I wondered if he would stay, or go like others have before him. It seems that he has become a fixture here in the Suspension Forum.

Thank you for all that you do in here and behind the scenes as well.
