Yuuuuuuuuup...

BOOOOOORRRRRING!!!!!!

Dang guys! Talk about the Hogs basketball team or something! I would, but I don't like basketball and all I know is that we are playing USC next, but I don't know if that's Southern Cal or South Carolina. And I don't really care. But if we win that game, I'll start paying more attention.

Did I tell you guys that I ate dinner 3 tables away from Mitch Mustain a couple weeks back when I was in Rogers at Copeland's? True story. Okay, so maybe I'm star-struck a little bit.

Oh, come on now, we're not that boring. We have a good time all the time!!! I'm trying not to be bored by talking about Hogs basketball. It kinda makes me nauseous.

Nick and I got my bumpers on a couple weeks ago. We had fun doing it and it turned out to be much easier than either one of us thought it was going to be. A couple days later he went and bought him a Ranchhand Bullynose (I think he was jealous of me -- LOL). He's gonna kick me for that.

Last week I put my wheel well liners on, which I think looks better than I thought they would. I think it changed the entire look of the bed of the truck.

I have two pair of KC Daylighters are on order (and should be here soon) for the front bumper. I'm really debating on ordering some hot pink covers for the lights so I could have that truly girlie truck that you talked about....

I'm fixing to give into peer pressure (from no one other than Nick of course) and buy an Edge Juice/Attitude. The more I read the more I want one. It's drivin' me crazy!!! If I wasn't planning a gambling trip next month it would already be on order!!

See, how is any of that boring??? We've just been having so much fun we've forgot to tell you about it!! Ha!!!

Jealous of you? Nah...it's the other way around sweetie.

I had some fun today. The only place that I could find to align my truck took 4 hours and 15 minutes to do it...start to finish. And of course they didn't want to charge me the standard alignment charge. We debated back and forth and came to a reasonable price (I guess).

I had to go to the shooting range after that with the .40 cal and vent my frustration.

I'm bringing my truck up that way on Friday (Fayetteville). As I have pointed out on several occasions, I am not native to Arkansas. When I took this move, I pictured myself moving into a part of the state that looks like it does on 540 between Fort Smith and Fayetteville. Hell...I'd take anything from Little Rock and west! But noooooo...I came to the delta! Woo Hoo! I'm so ready to leave Arkansas now I don't know what to do! lol At any rate, I'm ready to drive up that way to see the pretty countryside again. I really think it's beautiful up there. I'd like to be there when my Tigers play your Hogs. That's always a good game no matter who wins.

Dang Meg, you have been busy with that truck! Glad to hear you are finally adding some more power. Edge makes some great products. The Attitude monitor is really clean and easy to use and I like how there are so many safety features with their stuff. Did you post pics of your truck yet? I don't really go to any other forums on here except this one.

Nick, what the heck took them that long?!?!?! That is insane!!!!!! What was their reasoning behind the delay? You just have a stock steering setup, right?

Vader, have fun in NWAR. It is a cool place. Sorry about your bad luck, living in Southern AR. That place creeps me out and I've lived in Arkansas my entire life. It's a totally different culture down there.

No...I've got Don's crossover setup. It took the guy a while to have to undo the heims, make changes, put them back together, and repeat. Bad thing is that I can only find two places around here that can do a 4 door long bed truck...most places' rack is not big enough to handle me.

Sorry you had such a rough time with your alignment. That stinks...

I know you're not jealous... You know I have to be mean to you at least once a day.

That's for sure -- Arkansas's landscape goes from one extreme to another. I personally haven't ever been a big fan of the east side of the state and parts of it actually scare me.

Nick and I actually work in Fayetteville. Maybe we'll see you around!!!

I kept telling myself I would wait until at least 36k miles to do anything, but I just can't stand it any more. I'm stoked about the safety features as well since I'm not interested in dropping big $$$$ into it yet.

No pictures yet, I wanted to wait until I got my lights on. This has proven to be a rather difficult thing because the company I ordered them from has been terrible. I have swore by them in the past and they've really peed me off.

I ordered lights and bed rails March 1. My paypal account was debited March 1. I usually have stuff from them in 2-3 days. After five days I called. They kept trying to tell me they didn't get the order until the day before I called. This is where I screwed up and didn't cancel my order.

The next day I called for tracking numbers. They didn't have them. They didn't have the parts. They're being drop-shipped from KC and where ever the rails are coming from. They'll email me tracking numbers when they get them. Both are supposed to ship Monday.

Guess what, here it is Thursday. No emails. No tracking numbers. I tried to call them yesterday and they told me they still have no tracking numbers. I had to leave someone a voicemail.

I got home and a pair of boots I ordered from eBay arrived Fed-Ex ground. The driver had written a note on the box that said he had another package, but it had to be signed for. We're not ever home to sign for packages. I left him a note and signed it, hoping that he'll leave it. I asked that if he doesn't to please leave a tracking number so I can try to pick it up at the depot. I don't know where it's from or anything else.

I'm going to call the company in a bit. It's not going to be pretty. I think that a $331 order deserves a little more respect.

The sad thing is the company is a sponsor here. I'm having a hard time not sending some nasty PMs. I ordered stuff two weeks ago and don't have anything for it. I'm just a liiitttlleee maaaaddd, if you couldn't tell. Nick, you were right, I should have told them to stick it up their nose the other day. After the way they've ran you around I should have just ordered the stuff elsewhere right from the start.

I was fixing to order that Edge Juice/Attitude. I'll spend $25 more with someone else versus ordering anything else though them.

Okay... I'm done with the vent. I feel better now.
