Showing my age, but when I was in school, they usually had a couple Playboy bunnies at the auto show. Now I guess things are more "family friendly". Doubt I will go anyway.

Looks like we need to put out a missing persons report on JD790. Ty, let us know how the F250 is coming along. We need to help pick you out some wheels and tires!!

 

Must be the cloudy weather that has got everybody depressed. Lots off people around here have been absent for awhile. I check in usually every day but some days there are no posts. Maybe with the sun and much warmer weather it will lift peoples moods an will post more. Speaking off sun boy thats been absent for many months. Checking some off the guys profiles some have not checked in for several months. You always wonder if anything bad happened to them since they were regular posters. Check in guys if your reading this. Nice to know every body is alright. No fun to check here if no one posts. Anybody planning a meet?. Would be great to meet you guys in person.

 

I would be up for a meet once the weather gets a little warmer. I am slowly getting the truck cleaned up. But I am definitely up for a get together.

 

I'm still alive!!!! I read the new posts daily since I am subscribed instantly to this thread. Really don't know why I haven't posted more - sorry guys! They are supposedly 'monitoring' our internet use here at work. I think it's all b/s anyways and don't care but anyways.....

Truck is running really good! Last saturday me and a diesel tech drove to York to get our new exhaust kits. Turbo-back. 3" downpipe into 4" straight through design - no more cat! I'm not going to use the muffler either - going to just straight pipe it. Might actually be working on that tonight after work. I removed all the stock exhaust last weekend so just have the downpipe connected right now and thats it. Sounds pretty mean!
Also got all my windows tinted last week finally 20% all the way around. Looks much better. Next I need tires bad!!! I am sliding around all over the place on the soppy gravel roads. Truck has so much torque it doens't take much to break the rear end free. Gotta get going on my tax return so I can get some fundage.

A meet is a good idea. It's been a while. Hopefully the weather will co-operate soon so we can do that. I, like everyone else, am sick and tired of this weather and am ready for warm sunny days.

 

Yeah I would be up for a meet too. The drive to work today was slow, Omaha is really getting hit hard with the snow. From about the Louisville exit on the Interstate is in pretty bad shape, some lanes are even starting to accumulate some snow!

 

As soon as I post that winter might be over, I wake up to the white stuff once again! This is getting depressing. This morning I almost ended up in the ditch when I went to pass a car and the back end kicked out, luckily I was able to pull some nascar moves and keep it on the road, but my heart sure was racing! I will definitely need new tires before next winter. As soon as this weather clears we will have to set up a meet, any ideas?

 

Glad you got here back on the road again. I have experienced that myself a real scary experience. Glad to here everybody is doing good. Spring is coming but winter is making a last gasp effort.

 

Well another crappy day, cold and wet out there. The country roads are a mess, had a couple places I was worried about getting stuck or sliding off of them. I could not even get the impala up one guys driveway today, he had to come get me in his pickup, just so I could get to his house.

They say we are supposed to have a warm up next week, we will see.

Have a good weekend.

 

Found this on craigslist this morning:

Stop with the spam you lying, cheating bastards.

You sell GARBAGE. You refuse to stand behind your products and you LIE LIE LIE. You will do and say ANYTHING to get the sale. I hope Rod Kush and everyone who is unethical enough to work for that bastard all get herpes.

STAY AWAY FROM ROD KUSH!

Yep, we went their ONCE, and only once a long time ago. They sell consignment crap and the ugliest, trashiest ghetto stuff you can imagine. We walked out of there as quickly as possible. Didn't want to be seen walking in or out of that junkyard!

 

lol that is priceless!

Have you guys saw the 2011 F250s? I am in love with that truck I am seriously considering one.




2011 F250 First Drive

 

Boy Im excited too. Sounds like they should get better mileage then the old which the way fuel cost would really help. There supposed to be at the dealers in April. I cant wait. If you see one check it out. Im sure you will see it before I do. Will you get a crew cab. I have a reg cab myself. The 150s like you have really hold there value. Should get a good price out off that. Go for it Dustin.

BTW thats a neat signature you have there very creative.

Hows everybody doing despite the weather?

 

I swear, I need some sun or I'm gonna freak out!!
I plan on getting some work done on my console. Have a plan, gonna pm you Dustin with some questions. Just have to find a junkyard expy console for the mounting parts, then I'll do my seat swap and console install. Gonna just have to go with some cheap seat covers til my separation get going, then I'll get the leather re-upholstered. Will post some pics of my plans soon.

 

I am definitely going to be test driving one as soon as Anderson gets one in. But I will probably wait a year or two to make sure the 6.7 motor will hold up to the hype. I don't want to get into a 6.4 fix it daily fiasco.

Thanks on the sig part, I did an extensive audio build in my truck last year and that is just a few of the components in the truck.


And Jump_n

I didn't get that pm but when your ready just shoot me that pm and we can get a game plan figured out.

 

OK, gonna get get going on my center console project. Going to mount the Gryphon (edge) screen where the AC controls used to be on the expy console. Just want opinion, should I mount it to the left side? Thinking of maybe mounting e-fan indicator lights in the space on the right if / when do e-fans. Or maybe mount in centered and maybe just some sort of decorative LED's on either side. Any opinions and ideas welcomed.






I figure can used some epoxy to mount some lexan from the backside with a hole cut out for the edge screen. Then either paint or cover with some material.
