I will buy Jack Stands!!!
Here goes. I'm contemplating black wheels. But screw paying a lot for them. I'm gonna go to the junkyard and pull 4 of the stock wheels off F150s, and paint the b*tches black. My spare will be the same rim that I'll be trying to get, so I'm testing the spare first before I drop the change on the wheels and transferring my tires. Pix will be here tomorrow of the painted spare on the truck

Hey guys,
I totally understand where you're coming from so let me try to address some of your concerns. There have always been ads on this site. I know because I removed Brad's ad tag and put ours in it's place a few hours ago. We try to always keep our ads to a minimum though and I think if you look at some other sites compared to the ones we run we have a lot less.
There were a few people talking about the speed of the site being slow before the ads were put in place so I'm not sure if the slowness your experiencing is connected to the ads. We are the only site on a very fast dedicated server in the middle of the country so I'm not sure what the issue is but we will try and figure it out. We pay a company to help us out with server performance issues so we can get them involved if needed.
As far as the ads are concerned, we are using Google/DoubleClick for our Ad Server which runs some of the largest websites on the internet. I'm not saying it's impossible that they are causing long page loads but its rare. We will keep an eye on it since this is a new install.
Take a look out our other site www.f150forum.com and see how the ads are over there. That's a pretty good idea of where we are headed long term and our members are pretty happy with the site.
Thanks.

All I can say is, I hope they set up a complaint department, because I've got a hell of a lot of them right now.
