absolutely theres nothing wrong with it i just was at that crossroads where do i wanna start hacking up a 3 yr old truck and dedicate it to pulling or go and find something else and my luck garricks truck was forsale and its turnkey ready to go!

I am in the same predicament.........

Should I build my beautiful and great running 600 rwhp LMM or buy an old LB7 reg cab and build the crapp out of it?

I think I am done with the LMM also. It is plenty powerful for the street, probably too much so actually bc traction is a dream in my big tune...

I am now looking for a 2wheel drive to build, 4 link and tubb out just to harass the track.........

Speaking of... Garrick told me Pete logged about 20k miles just going to pulls in "your area" last year?!?!?! :eek: that's a lot solely for pulling!! God bless y'all for that kind of devotion! I don't think I'd be into it nearly as much if I had to drive 4-8hrs for a hook. Much more than 1-1.5 hrs away from home and it had better be a good pull, no brush pull in bfe!

Haha yea that kinda sucked, lots of late nights! Not too many people take a ferry to go to truck pulls :roflmao: I couldnt believe when he said you guys had a couple of hooks a week within 45 min of you! Must be nice to live in the mecca!!! :woott: It would be awesome to head down your way again to hook, but dang you guys got way too many mountains to go through!!!!

That's awesome. lol :rofl:


Hills aren't so bad if you come over to OH, and then south instead of south & then west through VA/WV ;). That's how I went to Pittsburg area of PA. I'd imagine that'd add a few miles though since it's not a bee line. lol
