When it started off much I couldnt get on very much when anyone else was living on the other side of the world and all. When I got home I started getting on a little more and more and meeting new people. I realized what a great overall (not just diesel) site it really is. I have made quite a few friends here, and am glad I can ask them advice on anything. Bobby even wanted me to bring my whole family up while we were in Va a few months back. A place where you can come and meet MANY people like that isnt too common I wouldnt think. My truck has been through alot in the last year. New injectors, twins, studs, O-rings, and alot of pointers from here. I even made some California friends and they drug me to a GTG in San Diego. All I can say everyone involved does a great job and really puts alot more effort in than I think they probly get credit for. Thanks to the staff sponsors, and members for a great site.

Well I started off this past year by buying a truck for a toy, to keep me molesting my work truck too bad, getting everything you see below done and still thinking I'm way behind. I think I would be completely bald at this point if not for my home here, and I still think of it that way even though I haven't been here the past 3 months thanks to Hughes Net, DM you were right they do indeed SUCK. Thanks to all the sponsors, staff and members for listening to my cry's, rants, and tantrums. Heres to another great year and more bombs dropping

I have seen this site since it was made because of my dad but since I have joined recently I have learned a lot about any diesel on the market and want one when I'm sixteen. and I have also learned that you can bomb a truck and blow a lot of soot.

lets see when I found this site I was a retard with a cummins that didnt run I am sure most of you remember the post about being in afghan and when I got back the cummins would breath life again well she does.
after that got me a 2nd diesel my 03 dmax and have decided that my good old cummins was going down again but this time for a complete make over into a 4wd conversion and sled puller.
I just wanna say thanks for all the help I have gotten on here if it werent for you guys and gals I wouldnt be rollin coal.
