I got to see alot of intersting things many people never have to the opportunity to see.

Lets just put it this way.. ( Nothing against people who were born and raised in Louisiana) but i never thought I would miss Texas so much. Only being 6 hours away from home Louisiana is deffently NOT the place for me. haha

There was some oil showing up on the texas coast line but that was caused by larger ships that brought it in by accident.

Unfortunatley I was boarding from barge to barge about 30 miles out in the Gulf when my Iphone decided to take a dive in the Ocean.... but Fortunatley I made some dang good money I just went out and bought the Iphone 4

Thanks for the headsup on the HID kit, I'll stick with getting the 35W then.
we do need to do another cruise. next time I know i wil be home for more than a weekend or 3 days, I will defenitely try and get something going. i think it would be sweet to have a lot more people this time too...not like we didn't last time.

and no problem on the HIDs. I didn't want to believe people when they told me that, but now I do. All you do is creat more glare, put other people in harms way if your lights aren't aimed right, and draw more attention to yourself as far as cops go.

What if I ran 55w in my fogs? I'm also planning to buy pro compa 9 inch off road lights and retro fitting them with the 55w hid kit.

55w will be too much for your fog lights. they generate more heat than the housing can disperse. 35w will be plenty enough in heads and fogs, trust me.

the procomp lights should be able to handle the 55w HIDs. since most of those lights run 70-100w bulbs, the 55w will be nothing, plus HIDs run cooler than halogen bulbs.

Well got the new brake lights in tonight. Ill get better pics in the day tomorow.

I dont think I'll be getting pulled over for my brake lights anymore.





I also got a call last week that the Eagle Alloy rims I originally posted up either do not come in our bolt pattern or the company I ordered them through do not have them so. I ordered these:

American Racing Artillery 20x9- They wanted $268 each for them but since of the hassle I got them to drop $20 off each wheel plus free shipping so I bit the bullet and got them.



Problem:

Got home from vacation today and my wheel package and led lights were waiting for me but.......

Either the company screwed up or the shipping company who sent them screwed up.

THERES ONLY 3 WHEELS!!!!!!

But I did get a call when I was away from the shipping company stating I need to call them back to schedule a delivery appointment. I think they also have my tires.

My Viper 5901 alarm system should be here tomorow as well.

Did you order those wheels from 4WP? There should be an invoice somewhere for you to look at on how many wheels they put down to send you, and also find your payment receipt/invoice to make sure you actually ordered 4.

I ordered them through Tires by web .com

Checked the invoice and it has quantity of 4 on there. So the shipping company probably has it. Well hopefully.

Sure will! I didnt do as much research on the alarm as I usually do before ordering something but it had really good reviews, and I watched some videos on youtube with this setup plus it did exactly what I wanted to it seemed like the right fit for me.
