You should see my truck around alot now, I drive around WAY too much. I'm shooting for May 15th now. I said May 1st, but I want to make sure I have every last dime for the truck because I want it all done right the first time.

So May 15th, it's a Friday is what I'm shooting for.

I thought that was you! Right there on Pioneers just off of 77. I was going to post on here and ask if that was you but soon forgot after getting busy at work. Haven't heard from you in a while - how's everything going?

 

Ya I have seen JD's truck sitting at anderson and it is just HUGE, there maybe be one truck bigger then yours in town or he may have been passing through but it was a twin turbo F350 and it was massive. I have only seen the guy the one time when I talked to him so I am guessing you still have that title.

 

I think our next meet should be in May. That way those of us that are in the middle of a project will be able to get them done before our next meet. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again.

 

Ya +1 let me get this thing back together please before the next meet, I know by next weekend I should have it in the "finished stage" minus a few small little nit pics, that I will be trying to get done very shortly there after. I gave my self a pretty crazy deadline of this weekend to have this thing playing so if I miss that dead line then next weekend will definitely be the finish line. I don't see it running much farther then that.

 

I should be in Lincoln on the 25th... JD, let me know if you can meet quick in the afternoon.

I have a grille project I'm working on now... I'm stoked about it. Just need to get patterns made of the spaces in the grille. Love custom stuff and guys with tools that cut metal... LOL Waterjet this time, and 20 ga. stainless steel...

 

Waterjets are always fun, I can't wait to see this project done

 

If anyone is interested, I have decided to sell my Edge programmer after all. It will work on 2004-2008 F-150's. Was going to send it in and get a gryphon, but don't want to do that until I have my exhaust and intake done, which will be a while yet. So I decided to sell it instead of having it sitting around not being used.

Comes with the original box, cd software for usb updates, dash pod (black), owners manual, and cable - everything needed for a plug and play operation. Figured if anyone locally is interested I'll try here first, then craigslist, then the classifieds section on here.

$300. PM if interested or have questions.

 

are you dead set on getting an intake jd?? IMO there kinda worthless...nice mod but i won't ever buy one new..i got lucky and got mine for 60 bucks and right away it sounded cool when u really romped on it but now with my not so loud exhaust i can barely even tell its on there...its a k&n 57 series(i think plastic tube ik)...and exhaust doesn't affect your tune

 

Haha I know right! I havn't been having so many problems latley I guess, and I've been kinda quiet cause my internet was down for almost two weeks with computer problems. I think I am going to be trying to fab up some latter bars for the rear one of these days too, hopfully, so I've been trying to draw out all my ideas and research stuff

 

Okay Ty I have a question, you can message me this or whatever, but I'm gonna order my rims saturday I'm thinking now. I found a way for some extra money and yes it's all legal lol.

When you get to work today, I know it's friday and I'm asking you to work, but will your give me a "quote" on how much it will be for:

Installation of Lift/tires/rims on the truck (labor costs)
Mount and Balance the 35's on the 18" rims
and anything else little that you guys charge that will be added in.

Basically I'm gonna bring my tires, rims, and lift to you guys and say Please make this thing badass lol. What's it gonna cost me? Feel free to message it to me. I'm getting too anxious so I'm gonna take a loan out for $640 bucks and get it paid back in about a month and a half. I can't help it, I want my truck to be badace bad!!

Nice John Deere. I'll get mine out in a couple weeks when I'm on vacation. I think I'm going to sand it down and try some painting. Anyone have any experience with sanding and painting? What does your wife say about a tractor in the garage? I thought I was the only one

 

Haha! Not married..yet anways. We keep it in the barn so its usually covered in dust expcept for the few times a year I use it around the acreage. I thought it was you that had the MTA! We have a M too, but it doesn't have live power.
