...December 2006 Gen 1 Truck Of The Month – Congratulations Jerry "GJLS" Skinner! (NLOC #692)

Jerry's Big Black Beast is one mean machine! Jerry is constantly pushing the envelope on how fast these trucks can go. At one point, this was the fastest Lightning in the country. Since Ralph took the top spot, you better believe Jerry has something up his sleeve for next year!

What sparked your interest in the Ford Lightning?

I’ve always had trucks and after seeing the Lightnings I just had to have one. On December 20th 1995, I bought my 1994 Lightning with 20k miles.

What modifications have you made to your truck since you have owned it...both show and go?

My truck has gone from a daily driver to a mid 8 sec truck and everything in between over the last 6 years. Boost comes by way of a ProCharger F2 flowing through an air to water intercooler. Power is transfered to the rear by way of an Art Carr C6.

Tell us about yourself, your hobbies, business or work, sports, family, etc.

My only hobby right now is working on and racing my truck.
I work at A Volkswagen dealership as the Service Manager.

How long have you been a user of the NLOC.net, when did you become an NLOC member, and why did you choose to become a member of NLOC?

I’ve been on the NLOC since 1998 and became a member to help support the club.

What suggestions do you have to make the NLOC.net website easier to use and navigate?

The web site is great just the way it is.

Why did you pick your board user name (screen name)?

It’s just a modification of my initials.

What are your plans for future changes to your truck?

My only plans are to be faster than Ralph!

This is where you link favorite websites, your website, family pictures and add any other comments.

Here are some of the companies that make going fast possible!

Congrats Jerry. You have got an awesome truck there, it has come a long way over the past few years. Hopefully I will see you @ LFest next year.

I still remember the first time I met you and Justin @ the first LightningFest. You, Justin, my father and I sat together at the BBQ.

Good job with the truck and keep up the good work !
