The truck looks good, Tom. What happened on the bracket race? Didn't get a good launch or something?

yeah what are the black rims?

They look like PYOs that have been painted black.

Boy, nothing gets by you guys, does it? :rofl:
The black wheels are the drag radials on the PY0s I bought from Darius. I would rather have the DRs on silver PY0s though.
Swapped back to the Toyos for my last couple runs, but that was a big mistake on my part and it wont happen again.

As for the race, I just screwed the pooch on that one. Good reaction and launch, but the truck just couldnt run him down. I dont really know what happened there. I could've bought back in and run again, but with all the problems I was having I decided not to bother. I just had a bad day overall.

06+ Use the one on the driver side for both XM/On Star. Before that it was two seperate antennas. Passenger Side was XM and Drivers was On Star.

03 was first year for XM, and their antenna that year was a bit, um, "unwieldy".

Ben has always given me the bizness about that giant piece of XM plastic, its sort of an inside joke.
