Got lazy and didn't rotate the picture. This was from last summer on a cliff. The other picture I wish it was real life.

I really want a PT but its not in the budget right now. Maybe when my WS6 sells. Anyone want a 02 Ws6 Vert Bolt ons & suspension? Lol!

Gotta trust the dozer operator and your winch cable.

Think Andy had a similar problem with his 7875 at higher boost levels. Thing hated life at high boost. Hopefully the S480 and different cam will help matters.

Maybe if it wasn't a vert and an auto and a good price.

People seem to want gold for their WS6 fbodies today

Best paying job I've ever had with no college degree and plus make more than some college grads get. Plus I get to enjoy the outdoors in my A/C, heated cab with a radio. Since I'm union I don't have to get out and do labor work, hell I don't have to grease my hoe nor clean the mud outta of tracks.
