Driving is always good 😎
The bus I ride is so short it is a yellow Smart Car full of squirrels, monkeys and clowns.

Nice work. That's a good-looking truck!

I aspire to making a "just because I drove it this weekend" post :)

All brakes are good to go now. New transmission rubber mount.

Now I am trying to decide if I want to keep my 33's and swap gears from 3.54's to 4.27

or If I want to just put some 31's on and call it a day
