Thanx! It has been a year in the making, but it finally runs...and boy does it ever run. I need to go 4-link front and rear ASAP because that engine twists the rear leaves into an S if I stand on it. When I do the 4-link, it's probably gonna get a better set of axles (60's or maybe 9" front and rear) at the same time.

I'm in the saltwater all the time...I'm a marine biologist. It kinda goes with the territory. Padre Island beaches rock.

Ya know I thought about that when I started Oceanography - then I went in the Navy (no $$ for school). But it's obvious why you became a marine biologist http://www.corpusbeach.com/newgirl2.htm :?

Man I miss those beaches!!! I used to play with the sand sharks on Padre when I was growing up!!!

I did a 11-year active duty stint in the Navy. Now I am in the Reserves at NAS Corpus Christi to finish my 20. Those pics change every now and then, so keep checking back periodically. Ain't South Texas beaches great! You gotta love the nature scenery!
