Hey Bernd,

Are you running a Trailmaster lift kit, or another brand?

There is a lifted (3-4") DAK that I see a lot on the way into work in D.C.
It has Maryland Tags (a Grn, 94-96 4x4 CC, V8). The guy has some nice Mods.
I've left him a business card with my e-mail and the DML address, but never
heard anything. Anti-social I guess... Does the truck sound familiar to any
of the Maryland DML'ers out there? Chrome front push bar, dive sticker in
the back window, very clean...

Later,

Duff
