Man, you picked the right guy to stay with. Its no short drive from Wyoming to south Texas. That was really cool of Cody to give you a place to crash and fix your truck with his parts. Did he make you a sandwich for the trip back home? lol

Thats my worst fear when racing any distance away from home - 'what am I gonna do if it breaks?'.

Funny you should bring up the sandwich thing, that crazy dude only eats bread and meat for his sandwich nothing else

Richard if you ever come down to SAR to run and break something Ive got a trailer and spare parts just give me a call

Kyle post that pic from whataburger

A picture is worth a thousand words. You guys have no idea how long I've been dreaming of seeing a picture like this

It wasnt really that big of a deal to help him out, I would hope someone would do the same if the tables were turned.

My truck ran a 14.8@89 with a 2.1 60, tipping the scales at 7900 with me in it and on the 35" tire setup you see in the pic. Im happy considering its still on the stock slipping trans. A suncoast level IV and 1058 converter are definitely on the wish list

That's the money shot right there! If only that was your truck pulling his. That would be sweet revenge. It looks like that thing barely fit on there too.

Haha, you guys are too funny. Cody is a HELL of a guy! And Chris, at least my truck died in battle at the track, and didn't commit suicide all by its self in a parking lot like YOURS!

I really don't worry too much about breaking down when I go to things like this and this is PROOF . I am pretty sure there would be some one who could help me out. Worst case, Is I would have had to have the truck towed to some place like AMMCO and had the tranny fixed. I plan for this and take a little extra cash and have credit cards for such emergencies. I'm not gona hold back just cuz I'm a "little" way away from home . Over all, I had a great time and meet a lot of really cool people.

Kyle the next time you come down here Im going to kick your ***! Look what you made me do to my truck

Along with all the other stuff you saw I had to install on my truck I ordered another 750 bucks of steering parts today to get everything done. If you wouldnt have made get my Z out of the garage I wouldnt be tearing a perfectly good truck apart.

I was suppose to leave the Dmax alone
