Let's start over......
They did live in the Greatwood area of Sugar Land. The Western edge of Sugar Land. Back in June, they bought a place with a few acres that is adjacent to Brazos Bend State Park. Seven acres, I believe. So, instead of going down Hiway 6, going to go down 36 tomorrow night. I believe your home is Columbus, will go through there Thrus on the way to Austin.

That is nice, pure land out there. But really prone to flooding depending on what side of BB they are on. And you are close to my hometown. It's actually West Columbia, just right down Hwy 36. I'm sure they might do their grocery shopping there....HEB can be decent sometimes...

Had to take my dachshund Jager to the vet. He was leaking a bloody substance from his hind end. He had an infected **** gland and needed a procedure to clean it. I'm happy it was nothing serious. :oWent and rented a spring compressor from AZ. Looks simple enough.
Good morning! Glad to hear that Jager is OK Stealth.
I hope you all have a very happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the holiday weekend, whatever you plan to do. For those of you who will be traveling, be careful out there!

Sure wish I had found the time to switch out tires and wheels before I head out this evening. But, Black Rose will look better, I guess.

The 20s are a bit rough, but the main thing for me is that the Falkin tires on my 20s are junk on wet pavement. Coming in to the rainy season, I want to have my Michelins back on, plus I need to get some use out of them. They are less than half used up. That is not even considering that I lost about 1.2 mpg when I went to the 20s.

Got the Eibach damper hit installed in about 2.5 hours with hand tools. The spring compressor was simple to use. I'm impressed with the ride. Much better than before, well matched now. I also put the stock rims/tires on, so it helps some I'm sure. I need to get my alignment and the 22's balanced.

Glad it worked out well. Dang, I'm kicking myself for not changing the wheels out. I guess subconciously, I wanted my Chevy driving son-in-law to see my truck with the Roushes on there. He really likes my truck.

So, you'll be able to help if I ever get my new shocks. Good deal!

I'm also sure your son in law will be drooling like everyone else about those rims. My painter friend is supposed to be shooting the fender, front and rear bumper covers this week/weekend. Bout freaking time!
