Well the truck was purchased for around $40k and altogether with that price included he's put about $70k into it, not including the bullydog chip he recently purchased and has yet to install...

Funny story, my buddy details all this guy's cars and he took the wife's Caddy to Les Schwab to get her wheels put on, they lost them!! $4000 set of 22's and they lost em....

Yet another reason to hate Les Schwab!

Ok the truck was roughly $40k, and he spent roughly $30k more for the lift, wheels and tires, stereo (includes 3 tvs, 2 10" woofers, components, dvd player, etc), the most amazing sounding Magnaflow exhaust system, and limo tint.

Yep it was me :)

Yes it must have been me because my girlfriends house is right there and thats the time I was going to see her.
I think I was looking at the transmission mounts of your truck from my car I dont think I could see any higher from the RX7, specially with a truck that size.
You didnt go to the Mount Baker drive right? It was pretty cool.
Well, take care...
Leo
