Went down for the FCS football championship last year in Frisco. Went to a restaurant in one of suburbs just to the north of Dallas called "Texas" It is a bit more upscale but no where near a suit and tie kind of place(although there where some of those folks there. I was in football gear) Best food I have had in a very long time and the service was awesome, nothing like a have ever experienced. The owner also sent over a magician for after meal entertainment free of charge. If NDSU makes it to the championship this year you can bet money I will be back at this establishment spending good money. Maybe some other members can help me on exact location.

Five Guys is way better.

Actually have a 5 guys up here and eat there about once a month. I only get In-n-out when I visit the inlaws in Vegas so might have to hit it when there.

Speedzone. The slick track was the most fun on little wheels that I've ever had.

6 of us went there, all late 30's and mid 40's. It was an all out brawl on go karts.

Wow! That looks like a blast! That's about perfect. 2 of the guys I will be going down there with work at a local racetrack here, they would love it.

Great suggestions guys, please keep them coming.

Twin Peaks is pretty good. hot chicks and the food is good. But my favorite place to eat of that style is Bone Daddys. There are a couple around, but I've only been to the one in Richardson.

 

I live about 15 minutes from "Texas" but I've never eaten there. Speed Zone is a fun place, but gets expensive fast.

There are all sorts of bars here and there to hit up if that's your thing.

If you like bowling/laser tag/billards you can hit up Main Event, there are a few around. Pretty neat place.

 

Theres the new Perot Museum with neat stuff. I love taking my daughter there. (But might not be the best place for a group of guys in party mode haha)

Theres a flight museum at Love Field, I could spend a good half day wondering around there.

And NTX automotive museum in Richardson, but I've never been inside, so no clue what they have. Its on my list though.

 

That's all I can think of.. and some of it might be too boring for you..

Check out Nates Seafood. It's a pink building so you can't really miss it.

It's one of those ma and pa restaurants.

 

Every time I'm in Dallas I go there.

One thing I didn't mention is we aren't renting a car while down there, just taxis and such for transportation. Is Richardton close to downtown? And where is Nates Seafood? Up here on the prairie the only good type of seafood we have is the kind we catch out of the lakes. I would love to hit a good seafood restaurant.

    • I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.     
    • Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.  
    • The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.  
    • Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.
    • I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
