Yea I know I need slicks... I've got an 8 3/4 in the garage waiting to go
in... I'd like to make it a little more stout before running slicks. The
previous owner warned me about breaking axles with slicks. He snapped some
when he had the 318 in... I've got big plans for it, just no money to do
it... I should look into the bbq. I'm sure it would be a good time...
I'll have to check out details on the site... I'd probably take the 94.
The 95 isn't the greatest to drive in on long trips... no a/c, worse gas
mileage, I like the club cab better for road trips...
