We put a rear hanger on Goldie, need new front springs. She's kind of sagging.

I have been testing the drivetrain on my truck. I found out the 6 speed auto will struggle with 1200 sandbags on the back of the flatbed You know when your dually's mudflaps are draging and all 12 tires on the trailer are squatting, you have some serious weight!!

Friday, drove 97 miles to a 1/4th mile track, made a couple of high 12 passes, then drove the rest of the way to the beach.
