Silver Lake, Baby!

Did you ever wire it up after that exhaust mount broke?

I lost a tailpipe once towing a little trailer up from Illinois. It sounded a little better, so I cut the other tailpipe off too and threw them both in the trailer. I ran with those Flo-Pros dumping under the truck for like a year after that.

I found another picture of your truck from Saturday:

It was the passenger one that broke off at the front of the muffler on the way home and the drivers side rubber hanger that broke on 'TEST HILL'
 
I'm jealous but I'll hopefully be up there Aug 11-13 with my family. here is a spy shot of my truck, finally making progress

Coworker went there back in July. Had some funny ass pictures of a super tall scarily built 88-98 GM truck turned monster truck and a bone stock Lincoln Town Car getting flogged on the dunes. Yes, a town car. Said the guys had just ripped out anything in the way of the "big" AT's fitted on it and then just flogged it all day long at the dunes.
Also some jackass with a rock buggy drove into one of the water holes and it swallowed the buggy deeper than the seats. Just some tube sticking out of the water.
 
AJM, How's the real estate business goin'? I haven't been on much since that week after the dune trip
 
Damn near nothing.
The visit that pulled me back from Silver Lake that day resulted in nothing. Our realtor couldn't even get feedback from their realtor.:confused::mad:
We had an open house the next weekend and no one showed up. Our realtor and the local radio realtor guy both said it's been really flat this summer due to the over abundance of houses on the market. Normally what's on the market in the May-June time frame is it but this year they just kept getting listed and now the market is over saturated. Our realtor says they're busy but not slammed and meanwhile buyers are picking all the flashy houses as there's so many of them. Thinking if we're still here in the spring we need to do some work to build up the curb appeal more. Where I'm going to pull the $$$ from I don't know.:crazy:

Since July we've had no showings and had another open house today. Our first visitors in three showings showed up but the house was a no go as it doesn't have a basement. They liked it though...which we hear a lot...:tongue1:
 
Same situation down here, too many houses and the really good ones are getting all the attention in this market. The house next to me has been empty since Jan. 07, finally got listed two months ago after waiting for a better market that wasn't happening and has only had four showings with no real interest. The bad part is it is nicer than mine
 
Everybody likes the house and it gets good reviews but it's too close the road and has 7' ceilings. Neither can we do anything about. Everyone likes the layout, garage, big yard, lots of big trees, condition, etc etc etc.
However there's some idiot selling their $140k house for $20k less than that and it puts them into my market and their house gets sold. Then there's all the foreclosures where $150k houses are going for less than $120k and again my sale goes there...

grumble grumble grumble...there's nothing wrong with my house...somebody buy it!
 
Thanks for posting the pics. I should have gone out on the sunset run.

I've been working on my engine controls and I figured out why it wanted to stall when I closed the throttle quickly. I also found that the TV cable was only letting me open the throttle to 78%. AFTER the dunes is a fine time to notice that...
 
Ill be up their with a bunch of people hopefully from the 26th to the 31st for memorial day weekend. Hopefully my engine is up and running and ready to rip!!!:thumb:
