    Yeah the spark plugs are an ordeal! Thankfully they last a long time and not 12,000 miles like the old days! Hate working on cars and rarely do...

    I was going to say, perhaps my information was misinformed. Looks like there are two? That does happen. Same as MI, NL is split into two seperate main land masses, the island of Newfoundland, and Labrador on the continental mainland. Each one has a community named Charlottetown. For that matter, I have a community named broad cove a few minutes from me, and another one not even an hours drive away.

    I'd really like to visit Michigan someday, as well as costal Minnesota, such as Duluth and two harbors, As well as other parts of the great Lakes (the lakes freighters being a big reason), but for some reason Michigan really draws me to want to visit if I ever get the money and time, the landscape and scenery

    I don't know her, she needs to stop emailing me. She took my email from her friend (my friend). I'm going to call her back later during dinner time if she is PST in TX :eek::rofl: :lol:

    I built dad a cabinet/miniature house for Christmas. He's making good use of it.

    There's like 5 "cedar lake's" in Wisconsin. There's cedar trees all over the state. A lot of water looks blue, so there could be many "blue lakes" in Wisconsin too, but I only have heard of 1 of those. :cool::thumbs:

    thanks!
    thanks!
    thanks! I think he just has more tools and hardware and such inside.

    I finished building it (except for the Windows) and discovered I couldn't lift it. It must be over 100 lbs. I had to get help to get it to the vehicle. I should have known it'd be heavy.

    I'd like to build myself one when I have time. Time is in short supply :picard:

    Yes, plenty of examples of places with the same name, right around the world. Lot of cedar trees in Wisconsin huh? I didn't know that, interesting.

    The ramps would work for oil changes and maintenance, but not for ground clearance when driving;)

    I think the leveling strut kit is the way to go. Yes, they cost a little more, but not bad, and you don't run into the issues that the spacers do with the stock shocks.

    We've installed a few leveling kits, ford, gm, dodge, Toyota, etc..
    Some seem to eat cv axles and boots, some doesn't seem to matter much

    Sometimes we do spacers and sometimes we do struts, struts are the way to go if the ones that are on tge truck are pooched

    Not only the CV's but other issues can occur with the spacers.

    The factory struts are fine on mine, but the struts are designed for the lift, unlike the stock shocks
