Nothing today, but a THOROUGH cleaning is in very high order!

Also, still looking for a replacement rear window...

If I have time tomorrow, I may find a better place to mount my Uniden Bearcat police scanner.

Which... I'm a little pissed about that. When I accidentally broke the left rear window on my 02 FX4, that just HAPPENED to be the window that the external antenna was mounted on. Now I need another window AND I need to find another external antenna.

Damned if cars/trucks aren't an expensive hobby...

EDIT: Note to self: Quit posting on the forums while intoxicated

 

Hit tha salvage yard this morning...... Looking for NON-Flag mirrors, OHC, and Mustang dome light.......... ABSOFREAKINLUTLY no mirrors, any and all OHC's where total garbage....... only thing I scored was a Mustang dome. And its in perfect condition! (phone pic makes it look yellowish but its not) Gonna do tha mod soon!

 

Window mount antennas are worthless. get one that mounts to the body


LOL!

 

Looks good dude. If I may make a suggestion tho:

Paint your hood like fourliterdan has his, and paint the part under the light, red again. Just my .02 tho.

 

very nice. there are planty of OHCs on sale here lately at decent prices, check some out!

as for me, got my roll pan on! not too happy with the fit, but it was free! just cost me $25 for paint. gonna do a weld on one eventually...and shaded my tails again, since the body shop for some reason decided to replace my tails after my accident even tho they werent damaged...




the tails aren't as dark in person, aaand the roll pan isn't as brown either, but the color is off, oh well, it was $25 for primer paint and clear so i don't complain. It's temp anyways.

 

I'm diggin the tails. Looks good darkened.

 

SHKABLAMMMM! Total install time........... 3MIN.! OMG THAT WAS FREAKIN EASY!



Theres a bit of a gap at each end but I can live with that....... pretty cool having map lights now!

 

i thought about washing it, but i didnt.

 

thanks! yeah they didn't exactly fit in with the stock crimson red color on the all dark/dsg truck hah

 

haha love the sound effects

 

modding some MORE 06 corners...(keep your eyes on the classifieds)

 

Someone gave me a love tap in the butt this morning..... scratched my bumper and broke my exhaust hanger......... so I cut and dumped the exhaust under the bed and gonna see about a rollpan.

 

Drove it down by the river to check out the flooding.

 

double checked the torque on my leaf ubolts since i just installed exploder leafs about a month ago.

rollpans are cool and all (I have one) but i think you should stick with the bumper. If you get a rollpan and someone love-taps you in the rear again, the damage will probably be 10x more expensive to repair than what you're dealing with right now.
I can't go back to a bumper because my rollpan is steel, welded smooth to the body, and painted over. I regret every day doing it.

 

Drove it down to the midnight release of Starcraft 2 to grab a copy so I have something else to take me away from working on any vehicles.... not paying attention to any speed limits, got about a mile from home, clocked doing 75 in a 55, and the cop ran my record and told me to drive the speed limit, then left ...... was a good morning...

 

Yeah I was thinking the same thing...... and my freakin exhaust is still rattling.... i think it may have broken one of the bolts up front by my cat. FML!

 

cop: "Son, do you know how fast you were going?"

"sir! you don't understand! I have to go play the new starcraft game! i JUST got it!"

cop "...Just watch your speed, have a good night"

*you drive off*

cop "poor kid will never get laid again..."

haha sorry, thats how it went through my head :P
How's the new one though?? I used to play the first one a bunch, don't really remember it to be honest though, i just remember i liked it haha

 

Sadly, I'm older than the cop was.... lol.... It helps to know most of the cops in the area also... They drive down the street and stop and talk with me and the neighbor to keep their sanity, so they are usually nice to us... I'm sure he will harass me next time he stops in the area.
It's basically just like the original except the graphics are outstanding. Not liking the battlenet req's though....

 

put my front diff in after installing my locker yesterday and went and tried it out and got stuck....lockers do get you into a lot more trouble...lol

 

got a ticket for having no mud guards. and a warning on my bumper height tires being too wide and my exhaust being not stock.

 

Washed it and touched up some of the paint

 

Hauled in my lawnmower to Sears to get fixed under warranty


Clerk: "Nice truck, is that the 4.0L?
Me: "Yea"
Clerk: "What kind of mileage are you getting?"
Me: "About 20-21"
Clerk: "Whoa, is is that 4x4?"
Me: "Yea......"
Clerk: "Oh, well that makes sense, cause I'm getting a lot better mileage in my 4.0L Mustang"

Me:

 

Got it running.

 

Slotted rotors + new ceramic pads = big difference

 

Picked up my 8.8 in it. Dragged *** home with my saggy leafs. WOOT PAGE 101!!
