    Hey Matt!

    Welcome to the site! I am the guy who bought the springs from you. Putting them on Friday...Thanks for posting up. You will find a bunch of great folks here...including quite a few full size rigs!

    Really sweet ride there, too. It sounded good when you were talking about it, so it is nice to see some pictures. You did a sweet job on the suspension! That things gets pretty twisted...no mean feat in a Chevy either, to get it to flex like that! I had a K5 a nunber of years ago and about the only thing I could get (this is way back when) was major lift but no articulation. Things have come a long way since then...

    Gotta hook up with us for some of our runs...make all of us with smaller rigs feel like we can come out and play with the big boys...

    Great group of folks here! Feel free to post pictures, information and sites, ask questions, etc.

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys! You will definitely see me on some of your runs this summer. My season was cut short last year because my wife was pregnant (with twins) and I didn't want to be too far from home. So I plan on getting out hopefully much more this year. I'm still finishing up some winter upgrades but its almost done, I have May 3rd circled on the calendar for my annual CORE shakedown run.

    Hey Matt

    Why don't you post up the May 3rd date on the calendar and the trail runs section for a CORE run. People that have been ther want to do another run and the folks that haven't are interested.

    Hey thanks!
    Thats not to far from my sisters place hahahaha. I know a few peeps with some big rigs that'd like to go there and play in the mud! Maybe we can set something up? Old lumbersom retired military vehicals with our smaller trucks? That'd be a friggin blast! They can pull us out if we get stuck Let me know what ya'll think. I can maybe put something together?
