Hey Wayne, things are good with me, how about you? I've been spending all my time with my little guy, I cannot believe he's already 4.5 months old! I was going to join everyone for the meet in May, but that's the same day as my wife's birthday party. Let's see what I can work out for one of the meets. It's been a while since I've seen you and the other guys.

We are doing great.
It would be great to see you at one of the later meets.

We are enjoying this one, it has the Flex-Fuel 5.3 V8 and is running 3:73 gears so it seems to have lots of pep. It also has the Off-Road package along with the skid plates. I never thought I would like the sun-roof in a truck, but with the nice weather lately, I am lovin it.

Gosh I'm getting way behind here... been busy with 'projects' at home...

Love the new 'chariot', Wayne......

Shame to see the old girl go--she was in such fine shape, but she did you well for many year and now will settle into a more sedate 'retirement'.

She did you one last good turn didn't she Wayne: Let you down at home and not far away on some fishing gig.

Can't wait to see the new Z71....Looks real cool and is quite capable of hauling the boat around.
congrats.

Colin.

Sounds great, Wayne. Marg and I are really hankering for the visit and of course the famous Erie Belle F&C's.

Deane, you up for another ride up to W&K's to check out their new ride(s)?

And that would be your new ride too.

I'd love to but my new work schedule will not allow it.

Just thought I would update this thread.
The GMC has been running excellent, I have put 22,000 on it since I got it used.
For winter I found some Dealer take off OEM 17" Alloys with new winters and TPMS for $1250 +tax and sold my worn out 17" tires and corroded alloys for $475 on Kijiji.
Then I found some new OEM 20" GMC Machined Finish alloys with UHP Dunlop Sport 5000 All Season tires (275/55/20) and TPMS for $1900.

I just installed these 20s in the last week. I used the new Tire Rack 2 Ton low profile aluminum trolley jack I ordered this winter. It picked up either end of my full size GMC Crew Cab with no problem. Love the new jack, it was nice using on my FX also.

Here is a pic with my new 20s, excuse the dirty truck, it has not been washed in at least four weeks.
