Ha! The only springs that would come close are the 3 inch slammers...and knowing bigdog I doubt he'd go that wild

Not trying to rain on your parade BigDogDad, but I wouldn't do that sort of heavy hauling with the PT. You will need new springs, shocks, tires, and probably a new axle not before too long with that sort of weight in the back. Home Depot will do a will call so you can buy it all at once and make several trips to save your suspension.

Thanks for the warning Chromedcruiser but this might be the only way I do a mod of this nature (springs, shocks, etc). I don't do this kinda of weight thing often and I am only 2 miles from Home Depot. And yes Saki, your right. It did look nice though.[8D]

Bigdogdag,
Dang, I was going to ask you where you went to get this done. Dang.

You should have taken the whole PT, that way you could say you got bags put on and dropped the back in the pics.

You should have called me for a race, then I could say I beat a GT with an N/A pt. [)]

Do you have a burn foglight on the front drivers side?

Nice prank, bigdogdad. Hope your nice car didn't have the problems that were experienced by turbomangt when he lowered his ride.

King, with all that weight I am sure you would have beaten me. I was a slow mover that day and if you come visit I might put you to work! I'll have to take you for a ride one day and show you what a GT can do.
Gary, the PT was so low I hit the bottome of my exhaust tips going off the road into the empty lot. Fortunatly I only carry this type of weight every once in a blue moon.

What kind of exhaust did you put on there? It looks sweet. I suppose those are extra tips right?

Hey Biddogdad we are having a picinic this weekend at the Landings. ITs going to be on Sunday. The SW Florida Cruisers and the 3T's are showing. If you would like to come as a guest of mine you could.

My mother lives in the Landings. I might take you up on the offer. I usually visit her on Sundays. That's a nice spot for the picnic, marina on one side and the river the other, not to mention the bamboo swaying in the breeze. By the way, the picture of my Cruiser in the calender was taken at that marina. I take the dogs with me also to visit, they love grandma, of course she spoils them with food.

Oh, and thanks, now I have to clean the Cruiser up![8D]

Bigdogdad,
Your not the only one that has to clean.
I have needed to ever since getting caught in the rain the other day. I was going to do a whole body detial this weekend because it could really use it. Plus I could show you my new toys and some other stuff too if you go.

Im kinda a dumba** so I really don't know where the Landings are. Im sure I have been close but aren't sure.

Did you check the info. Its from 11-2. I guess I will either meet you there or we could cruise in. Im not sure if the club is meeting to cruise in yet or not. Hmmm I'll have to check on that.

Sounds like a nice place, I will have to bring lotsa film.
