Just finished Tackleberrys axle again on dually . The bearings were loose and the axle bolts were working loose . Tightend his axle bolts last week but didnt ck bearings . He has big spacers on it with the wide tires . Damn thing is wider in the rear then the kodiak .

Got him back on the road and told him we need to do the bearings and pull it all apart . And balance those big wheels . Ck'd axle for straight and it looked good . Tightend bearing one step . Will pull it back down when he gets bearings and races .

The lift on the dually is a fab tech 8" , pro comp extreme all terrains 37/13.50 on 16x8 rims . 4" spacers on back between duals . Bilstiens all around .

Come on out . Dont have a spare room , but you should come play out here .

You know where I live . Come out anytime . Youd fit right in with all the chit talkers in the club . Bring it out when its finished .

Truck Night is 1st and 3rd fridays of the month . Irwindale is Thurday nights , gates open at 4pm and racing starts at 5pm . $20 to race .

For the last 3 months the truck club ends up on the top of Ortega Hwy look out after AutoBacs parking lot . Been getting back around 4am on the norm . Usually about 150+ miles on my truck at least after nights over . We lose half the crew early usually . End up with about 10-15 trucks at Ortega and then usually 5 diehards in the end . Funny too . The ford guys and dodge guys hang tough usually later then the chevy guys .:D

A really good mix of trucks lately . A few fast fords and dodges . Mostly just mild powered trucks in club though . Trans and mild tunes .


Me? Chit talker?:rofl: I will be there for sure. I cant wait to come out there again. Hopefully ill be there around first week of july. I hope i can get a mid to low 7.x over at Irwindale. Ill hang till morning for sure. Hope you know of a good place to eat some breakfast.:rofl:

When in tech line try not to rev it too much , they probably wont even look under truck , that is more for loud gassers no muffs . Turbo is like a muffler in itself and makes the trucks quiet at idle for the most part . They dont even expect or look under the new trucks for mufflers usually .

The ROLNCOAL red ford was in my driveway all afternoon and evening . We were making and welding some trac bars and trying to get rid of that terrible axle wrap on the ford . Came out pretty sweet . It hooks good now without wheel hop . Went for some test rides and it definately helped out alot .

It was ford night at my house . Garrett / SspeedemonsS was over also taking turns welding under truck . We cranked it out though . Then the payment for driveway time ...... Sushi :D

The Ford and Dodge guys have started to grow on me .... plus they need thier trucks fixed alot . :eek:

Funny I am always helping my competition make thier trucks faster than mine . :rolleyes: Tackleberry called to come over , his rear axle was loose and leaking again . Just fixed that damn thing . I know what I am doing today I imagine . Suppose to be doing my diff , and keep getting sidetracked fixing others instead of mine . Yep Tackleberry just showed up ... damn axle is loose . Hmm ... I tightened the crap out of it . Maybe the axle is bent or something . Didnt get the bolts tight enough obviously .

Ya Tom , definately young at heart and wrinkled and grey on the outside . :violin: I keep hearing .... you need to grow up ..... why the hell would I want to do that is my response . What fun would that be . :laugh:

Rain ..... usually means kodiak fun time after truck night . So head to the house and unhook the trailer .

This is too much fun to grow up . Good fun in the rain with 500hp and a truck that likes to be sideways all the way down the street . Damn kids are corrupting me . :rolleyes: or maybe I am corrupting them . :joker:

Somebody has to entertain the youngsters . :cool2: If you could only hear the guys in my truck giggling like little girls ... similar to the ones on video . :rofl:

Good Times here in SoCal . :thumb: The Truck Club and the friends made there from the forums has been some of the best fun in years .


i dont want to have my name anywhere near those traction bars. i still feel bad for how bad they looked. geez. oh well, at least all the welds on my truck look tits.

i think ill head out to the track tonight. ill leave the limpin ford at home and let her rest for tomorrow night.

Just got back from Irwindale . Was good meeting fast03 and hanging out with PPE DAN as usual . They cut it off around 9:30 due to moisture .
