we have a great support forum here with many knowledgable individuals...thermo is just another addition. i glanced at my post and i wanted to make sure nobody felt offended. sorry if i did!
looks good. i painted my entire dash black. then clearcoated it! hahahh. i like shiny things too! hahahahhahahaha. my entire cargo area is black and herculined, including the plastic. next is the b-pillars, seats, and carpet. then the whole truck will be black!
Toms, TAKE HIM UP ON THAT! Good to see you thermo. For those of you who know him, he needs no introduction. For those who dont, this man is a HUGE asset to the forums so pick his brains!
i wanna say it was around 1200 but you can get some pretty good deals, just gotta check back here and there. i think the lowest i was quoted for it though was around 1k
i agree. i usually run e85 in my 2010 silverado and that thing only gets about 14mpg. however, the price is DRASTICALLY cheaper, at least in iowa. gas prices are about 3.60 a gallon, but e85 is only 2.69 a gallon. so i run the e85 in the silverado, but need to fuel it just about every week. my...
yeah i have a 2006 seadoo wake and a 2006 seadoo GTI. love em both. oh and panda, i told you to come by you jerk! you actually drove right past me one day and decided not to stop! that was totally your fault. hahah
i have owned both, a 98 and my 01. i love my 01 but would prefer the t-case and ecu from the 98 with the 2wd option. i like having the A4WD function for instances like mud mentioned, snow and sometimes light mud. i usually only use my 4wd if its gonna get hairy!
mud, i looked at getting that bumper, and would have gotten a pretty good deal on it with free shipping since i am military. but i want something with a little more headlight protection since i run a lot of narrow 2-tracks hunting..
i just moved my skis to from san diego to iowa in feb so i cannot wait to get them out of the garage and into the water. maybe it will be warm enough by june! mine is not as nice as yours, i just have two sea-poo's! haha
yeah, i painted all my gold crap and pulled the body molding off too. i am not big in to pre-runner anything. just dont like the way it looks, looks like suspension is broken! but if you are looking for something different, go for it. i dont think it would be very offroad worthy in your neck of...
i would have to agree with everybody on here. instead of spending 2k on another vehicle which is just going to have its own problems down the road, just rebuild the tranny and get a used rear-end. then you know you wont have to replace those for awhile! hahha
this is the kind of crap that makes me terrified to change my plugs. i know i need to change them but i really do not feel like doing all that work and the POP, there goes the plug...
its odd that you would need to regear with 33's...i am running 3.55 stock gears on my 35's and i get the same mileage as you. as long as he is quoting you the 300 for labor, i would go for it. you have it in writing so if he tries to change his prices later, you got him.
01 E.B. moon roof, bunch of other crap. bought in 07 wth 80k miles for 11K. traded my 98 xlt in for it. then put lift and everything else on it after i bought it...love it!
well, where can i pick some up? i will try it out since i plan on replacing the carpet anyway. if it works, i wont have to replace it. if it doesnt, oh well...let me know what you are lookin at and i will try some out
i have def thought about that. like picking up a cheap yota or something and building that. i really wanna go on that UA trip someday so i need something that can get around well and isnt a full size truck. but i might just pick me up an f150, SAS it, and go from there...decisions decisions!
and you are right, until i make this my toy, it would not be worth it to SAS it. so this one i will do the body lift, throw some 37's under it and call it good. i will eventually buy another expy and build the hell out of it an make it ready for the UA trip that Petersen's puts on each year...
exactly, its the labor that is gonna kill me. the spring perches all need to be cut off and moved. there is a lot of fab work that needs to be done. plus do a disk brake conversion. and this is my daily driver so i couldnt take months to finish it. oh, and i have no idea how to weld! hahah
i agree with the road noise. i ripped the carpet out of the cargo area of the expy so i can just rinse the back out when im done mudding and pull the drain plugs. i have been rethinking the front carpet as well. i am just going to get some black carpet and good floor mats. that should help...
well gonna try to get to that this summer. might be going back to iowa for a few months recruiting....blue, i would love to SAS the truck but its pricey. i will probably do it someday, just not today! hahha
im not into prerunner bars. i do a lot of driving on 2-tracks so like my headlights a little more protected. that is why i like my brush guard. now if they made a bumper that was EXACTLY like my brush guard, just a little heavier duty and not so ridiculous looking, then i would get one, with...
