  1. Here's the part numbers from Summit from when I ordered mine. ENS-9-5172R Sway bar bushings ENS-9-8121R End Links
  2. Are you going regardless of who else goes? I won't know till later today.
  3. It depends on how wet it gets. The clay track gets too greasy.
  4. It's possible. I don't know what we're doing yet. They're calling for rain for Sat night, but that's still acouple days away.
  5. I like my Kumho's, but are a little iffy in the snow. Then again, I haven't driven this truck with any other tires to compare to in the snow. I had Coopers on a previous truck. They started off good, but the performance faded after 12k miles.
  6. I think the flat black hood thing started from Fast and Furious. Except for the fact that it was made of carbon fiber. The kids obviously can't afford a $900 hood, so they just paint em black to look like that.
  7. I'm beginning to think I had a bad plug wire. What is odd is that I got a Zippy tune in the spring. I noticed a drop in mileage just after. I put new plugs in and no change. I put new wires on, and got my mileage back. I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS THE TUNE. I think it was a coincidence the two happened together. Just weird is all.
  8. Pictures or boats? That the only boat I own.
  9. I also have 500-1000pounds of tools in the back of my truck at any given time. I'm strictly around town. I rarely see 65mph. More like 45 and under. I do mobile boat repair so I'm usually just driving from one job to the next. Yeah, Summit.
  10. I installed a set of Taylor 10.9 plug wires 3 weeks ago. I've been watching the MPG, and have had a consistent 1 mpg gain around town. I was getting 12.5-12.7 and am now getting 13.7mpg. I laughed when I removed the stock wires and held it up to the Taylors. HUGE difference.
  11. Duplicolor Fusion paint. It's made to bond with plastic. I've blasted it with the pressure washer and it doesn't come off.
  12. OOOHHH OK! You scared me. I didn't know you were thinking of tonight. Had I known I would have tried to do that. I just got a call from Joe saying you were still coming. Just miscommunication.
  13. What do you mean? You're not coming at all? Does that mean Joe isn't coming either? I think that just leaves me and 616. If that's the case we might as well cancel. Let me know ASAP so I can make other plans and notify people.
  14. Do you have to have some sort of helmet regardless of time? Anyone know a rough est ETA on an AWD with CAI, Zippy tune, 160 stat,Cosa exhaust, and minor trans work?
  15. Does anyone need/want anything special at the meet? Tools, truck wash supplies,etc.?
  16. I haven't been up there in years. I would have to take all my tools and supplies out of my truck. Has anyone heard from GBpigskin? I sent him a PM, but haven't heard back.
  17. I was kinda figurin on waiting til I heard who all was coming first, or even taking a vote once we were all 2gether. I have a 6 and 8 year old boys that love anything racing(circle or drag). I wasn't sure if anyone else was going to bring youngins. I can also ditch the kids and go get in trouble. That cruise in thing at Dog n Suds is probably early evening, thaen we can hit the bars. Like I said, kinda gotta wait and take a vote. See who's stayin and who's leavin early. I'm up for anything.
  18. We'll be 45mins to an hour away from there.
  19. I've tried getting on a couple times over the last month, and it says "down til further notice". Is there another site for banners?
  20. The zip code for Gurnee is 60031. I looked at Fairfield inn and they were $110. It was cheaper when I checked Priceline.com. There are alot cheaper hotels listed, just don't know what you're looking for. Look for anything near Grand ave.(Rt. 132) west of I-94 and you'll be within 15mins. of the GTG. Are you staying Fri or Sat night? I would suggest Sat night. You're only 2 hours away and we'll probably get started around 9 or 10am. Most of the fun stuff is Sat night. The address for the shop is Spraytech,39370 N Rt.59, Lake Villa, IL 60046
  21. What are you looking for? A bed and a shower, or a little class? Bringing woman and/or kids?
  22. He said $250 and it would take about 2-3 hours. I need to know soon so he can make sure he has enough material.
  23. I got a call into him. I should know by tomorrow.
  24. 2 weeks. Who's in beside pigskin and sniper? Rich? Brent? Indy crowd? I got braided brake lines I will be installing along with speed bleeders. For anyone interested in learning how to do it.
