new to the site and just introducing myself

I had heard about this site from some people and seen links to it on other sites and I've been reading for a bit and finally decided to join. I figured I would introduce myself a bit.

A little bit about myself: I'm originally from Ohio (Cleveland area) and moved down here to Nashville a few years ago. I race monster trucks and have quite a bit of experience with them. I've pretty much been around the trucks my whole life. Done a lot with the blown alcohol motors that we run but the most I've ever really messed with diesels is in our Kenworth's that we haul our trucks with. I've been getting more and more into this diesel pickup stuff here in the last two years or so. My cousin that I work with bought a new 2003 Dodge 3500 back when they came out and I have been so impressed with it since he bought it that I started looking for one myself. Last summer I bought a 1999 Dodge 2500. I haven't done a whole lot to it yet as I keep so busy with the trucks that I don't have much spare time. I listed what I've got on the truck in my signature but basically I've just done the 5" MBRP exhaust and the Edge Juice with Attitude so far. I'm thinking I'm going to be needing some tranny upgrades in the very near future. I just really love the truck and have read some great stuff on here so I figured I'd join. I guess that's enough of my rambling about myself though.



Here's a picture of my truck:

Welcome Lenny! Great looking clean machine you got there. You'll be addicted soon and your wife or girlfriend will think you've got a web friend you'll be reading on here so much. HeHe, mine asked me that anyway. Some real Guru's on this site, and they don't mind helping a fellow out either.

Well thanks guys. I love this truck alright. And luckily (in some ways) I'm single so I don't have to worry about that. Haven't found a girl to go for a monster truck driver yet. But I do always say that I have 6 trucks that are FAR worse than any woman. They are moody, tempremental, are very high maintence and constantly require that maintence, and always want attention, but when you get them just right they are just AWESOME!

But here's a few more pictures of the Dodge. Decided to change out the gears to something lower (probably 4.10's or 4.56's or something in between) and I'm probably going to need a tranny before too long. No time for that though between this weekend and probably April. We start out in Houston this weekend and we're running every weekend now through April for our busy Monster Jam season. Just got that time to decide exactly what I want to go to for gears and decide who's tranny to use.




I've done a little bit to the truck since I took these pictures this past summer so I'll have to take some new pictures sometime.


And here's a few of the "work truck" This is the truck that I drive myself most of the time.















Just a few pictures. I'll add more if anyone wants to see them. And I've got tons on my myspace page www.myspace.com/LennyKuilder if anyone wants to see those as well. I've got to get some sleep though. A few more little things to finish up and check over tomorrow then its off to Houston, Texas to start out our 2009 Monster Jam season.
