Redrider150's Progress Thread

Well yall its been a while since I've been on here and alot of things have changed since and are going to be changed in the next week or so.

Got some things taken off like the tool box, my Hid's are gone and now my blacked out tailights will be gone do to me finally getting a ticket for them plus having a lisence plate cover that partially covered the word texas so after 311.00 in citations my truck is getting back to legal for.

New parts:

Eagle Alloy 20x9 063 Matte Black (Ordered Today)


Nitto Trail Grappler Mt's 37-12.50-R20 (Ordered Today)


Led Brake Lights (Not put on yet)


DDM Tuning 55W 5K Hi/lo HID kit (Not yet Ordered)

T3 Bumpers Brush Guard Front End Replacement (Not yet Ordered)

Well 5 Years later after buying my truck in complete stock form Ive finally Completed my goal of having a 6 inch suspension 3 inch body with 20 inch wheels on 37 inch tires.

Thankyou BP for paying the company I work for a ton of money and me a ton of money to clean up YOUR mess! Now I can finally get what I want!

Well I bought a cheap kit off ebay which they worked fine for a while but the ballasts starting going out one after another so I got fed up with replacing ballasts so I put the xenon bulbs back in but I honestly miss my Hids but this time Im getting a pure white look I dont want any hint of blue to them.

Also for got to add that Im ordering the Viper 5901 alarm system because my stock ford alarm system and remote is a POS!! sometimes it doesnt unlock or sometimes it doesnt lock so I always have to do it manually and to unlock my truck I have to go around to the passenger door unlock with my key then you the door switch to unlock my driver door and I have to do it this way because if I use my key on my driver door it still sets my alarm off!

whats up man??? niec to see you back on here. what company are you working for anyways? there better no be any oil showing up in freeport....i'll be pi$$ed.

as for the DDM HIDs, no need to get a 55W kit. I got 35W heads after switching from 55W, and there is absolutely no difference at all in them. Plus you save $10!

I know its been forever we need to put togethere another cruise.

Im working for Able Info/Sat Communications. I was over in Louisiana for a month. Our company was installing motorola mobile radio and VHF marine radios on boats barges and the Communication/Logistic headquarters that were operating the whole clean up.

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.
