 , thank you very much, Methos!

I think I qualify for the shade tree mechanic (see my build thread) and maybe the Tech certified since I have a 2 yaers degree in Diesel Technology and have been working in the industry for 4 years but that is up to the staff.  I also need my high mileage and 400HP badge removed since that truck is no longer.

Shade tree mechanic and the Tech certified must be decided by the Tech certified members only. I will recommend you, then they take it from there. As for the removal of the high mileage badge and the HP badge, I can remove them for you.

I see we have badges for lowered truck and I also saw talk about maybe having badges for lifted trucks???  Did that even leave the test bench?

[lilfroger]

it did ... it was talked about ... it was tossed around ... it was shot down.

Decision was based on:
-to easy to toss a lift w/o doing any actual work
-way to many variables to influence decision
-what is "High Enough"
-would it be based on suspension ... body .. tire ... roof

[Austin The DieselTech]

Ahhhhh gotcha.

How about drag racing badges??? start off at 14 seconds and go in 1 second increments? And what about a 300ft club for us sled pullers? and how about a 100mph club for 1/8th and 1/4 mile?
