    Default New Yooper

    Well .. just joined up and like it a TON already! For those that don't know - those from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (the TRUE Great White North) are called "Yoopers" - dats me.

    My truck's pretty stock, but I LOVE IT. I have Grabber AT2's on order (in 285s) but not a whole lot of other mods planned (yet).

    My brother's both have 01 and 02 HD's respectively with the 6.0L gas. I spent from 02 to 06 driving an Astro van and those two rubbing it in all the time about their AWESOME trucks. NOW though, I have the 07 Classic with 6.6 LBZ in it. But do I ever call them and mention my power and mileage?

    You bet yer *** I do!

    Thanks for a great site.

    Default Memories of Montes

    Mr.Monte

    Just have to ask about your Monte's... I grew up with a 72 my folks had and eventually my brother got it. He and Dad did a ton of work on that car and it was repainted in 81 (from midnight bronze (oem) to gunmetal grey)...my brother drove it till about 85 when he bought his Monte SS. I have great memories of that car. Would love to see pics of yours.

    Default UP Recommendation

    If either of you fellas really want to "Get Away" from it all - its hard to beat the central and western U.P. ... get west of Marquette or up into the Houghton and Hancock area - man, thats great country. Tons of woods, snow, and water.
