As crazy as it seems a new year is almost upon us. Granted, most of us in the chapter either have demanding job, family or the never ending task that go along with home ownership.
Putting all that fun responsibility stuff aside......we need to think about the plans for our trucks this year......yes, its a priority #4 for most of us, but all that hard work needs to also allot us time to keep the machines running and maybe even looking better.
2014 was a slow and productive year for me:
- C-Notched, thanks to @onelow1ton for your helping hands and equipment
- all rear suspension sorted lowered more, thanks to @onelow1ton for your helping hands and equipment
- 09+ brake upgrade finally done, Thanks to @comdrop9073 for your helping hands
- rebuild of front steering and suspension as needed, Thanks to @comdrop9073 for your helping hands
- New tires
- new rear brakeline and other unsexy maintenance
