Pulling out of the driveway this morning I heard a SNAP, Clunk. Got out and had a look and Damn it I broke a bolt on the drivers side rear shackle. GOD !!!!!!!!

Now what is really irritating I have all the part (EVERYTHING) to redo the rear with a spring over but since everything is HD of course nothing will fit.

Any way I am telling you the rock in the driveway must have been

On that note... we will be working on Tyler's axle this week.

The end of the month isn't so fierce. Hopefully the garage will be ready for some major 14 hour days.

I will be in early next Thursday.. wanna take a wack at your rear springs?

Troy's schedule this week:

Sunday in STL. Monday fly to PHL, rent car drive to DE. Fly back to STL on Wednesday and drive rig to Wichita to work on Friday. Drive to OKC to work Saturday. Drive to DFW to work on Sunday. Drive to Austin to work on Monday, then drive to HOU to work on Tuesay. Tuesday night fly to STL and then back to HOU on Friday. Etc, etc, etc...

And all that is subject to change as I'm on notice to be ready to fly to France Thursday if they decide they need me for Paris-Roubaix! Crap, more of my life lost to an airline seat!

I feel your pain brother.
