Went ahead and went with ARP cam retainer and cam bolts, had a slight snag getting the ASP pulley on. Should be all together this weekend. Only another week and it should be running

Yeah that gear in the valley is the cam gear then in the next pic it is no longer in the valley cause its on the cam

Some misc painting stuff, wiring up the versafueler, putting the intake together, wiring up my WB, plugging the transimission connections in, front DS, hooking trans cooler back up, new battery, new pass window, cleaning the inside of the truck since it hasnt been used in 8 months. Most of the drivetrain stuff will be finished this weekend hopefully, I got a cam/spring swap to do on Random Hero's truck so that will slow things down a bit on my truck.

Make sure she knows that there will be a time when she will want some new curtains for the house but she won't get them because you need some caltrac bars for the truck. I preached it to mine before we got married and it has worked so far.

Oh yeah, tell her never to bitch about drinking too much. I'll have a beer or six every day and if you don't like it you know where the door is.
Oh and there is topless Tuesdays! She can't be in the house with a shirt on.

All these rules still stand at my house after 5 years.
Well, accept for the topless Tuesdays


nice rules see i don't need all them rules cause she makes about the same money as me so all bills are split and we have different checking acc. she get what ever she wants and so do i execpt when i go buy my son some crazy thing and that has been to much lately hes been getting more than me.



well get it together
