    How did you get into plenty of trouble already or is it your proverbial trouble you are always in? Don't throw salt on the wound. Just let us guess! When females quit looking at guys' body parts I will quit looking at female parts.

    You need to get to work. It just might help your situation. I worked 2 days this week so I am done.

    When I put new air bags on the AG 200 whey came plumbed for the 1" air line. All I had to do was buy the supply line that went from the air bag fitting to the factory air line The old air bags I took off had the small ones.

    I'm not sure how they expected the bags to adjust quickly with the small line, especially in rough conditions.

    Right @SAR . There were guys that went from the 200 to the 400 that had to buy all 8 bags plus the flat bar kit. Makes a world of difference that's for sure.

    Short answer is they don't adjust, they just bounce you off the roof

    There was a trick to getting the small airline bags to ride smoother. You just installed a quick release valve on the supply lines and it let it adjust quicker.

    All ready to head out tomorrow morning for Wyoming. I've been given our little C-13 "do everything" truck (it does everything because it has a blower and a headache rack). 2004 379 short hood, flat top. Was the truck I got most of my bulk experience in. For a 13 litre at 470hp, she has a lot of spunk, boost runs all the way up to 55psi under full load.

    They put in a brand new leather Legacy seat for me, wood grain steering wheel and brought the shifter up to the proper height (it originally came with one of those "sporty" short shifters). I'd have to put the awful seat on the floor in order to even reach the darn thing.

    Honestly, I've always loved driving this truck and she's never done me wrong. The lack of vertical space in the bunk is a bit of an issue, but at least I have proper floor and storage space now (those 48" high tops are awful to live out of) and a good looking truck. Didn't have time to shine up the dash, but I should get her done throughout the week on my way to Wyoming.

    This is from December 2016, but it's one of my favourite pictures I've ever taken.

    Not sure what the plan is for these new trucks in the spring, but I'm happy (especially that I'm driving a CAT and not a MX-13). If I couldn't be in the one I was in (we lost two super-B trucks in December), this would be my next choice. I'm hoping to get lots of good pics, especially since the weather is supposed to be nice all weekend.
