these are going to go on the bottom edge on the 09 Quad lights. a 12" and a 3" - with about an inch to spare on each side.

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Washed the truck and gave it the first coat of wax probably ever last night and shot a few quick pictures this morning while test fitting my my new flag and pole.

Bad ass James. Nice shots

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Not bad for an iPhone lol. I really need to look into getting a camera.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Truck looks great dude.

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Thanks man.

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Just a few more from today. The flag in my truck the other day was a test fit of a new pole and larger flag to make sure it was secured well enough to fly today on Patriot Day.

Damn, that black and white pic with the flag in color.....damn.

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Damn, that black and white pic with the flag in color.....damn.

Yeah, I think that's my personal favorite. All pics were taken AND edited on my cell phone.


And Al, was that yours??

[Okiespaniels]

Yessir that was my nightmare...Bougt in 1977, sold in 2001...not quite in that condition.

But that's a story for another campfire. :)

the Toyos are at the same spot, but they just don't look as well there. :D

[myoung84]

I was close on the lights. I'm used to my 2014 lights...

[0212353]

yeah......

I hate to say it, the design on these is just..........cheap.

The black part of the lights - its the housing itself. Cheap. But....yeah. Fun ones to work on!

[myoung84]

Play with any of these yet?

http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i360/myoung84/20130915_215834_zps4b2494a6.jpg

I hate dealing with lights that are fucking 2grand to replace. LOL

[myoung84]

Lol. Yeah, these don't look cheap to replace.

[Matt]

It is water in the lip of the wheel lol

[0212353]

eewwwwww mud! lol

[Matt]

Yuppie boy lol

[(S.M.R) 101]

What is this brown substance you show us pictures of? I've never seen anything like it... does it have a name?

lol

[myoung84]

Lol. That would be mud to all you pavement princesses. Truck was covered in mud, it rained today, and now I have muddy water reservoirs in each wheel lip. Doesn't really clear out with driving either. Lol

[Randall488]

Look at the gem i've scored. 94, 4x4, auto, pretty bare bones. 2nd owner and its been babied.

[0212353]

my wallet doesn't! LOL

Got a call from a guy in Vegas today.......wanted a set of chromes with adapters. Well....I'm out of adapters for a few day (went through 115 sets a bit quicker than I thought I would!), he wanted a used set of '13s. OK! Ummm........I have some on my truck. Sold.

Hey, gives me more of a motivation to finally do up a set for my truck, right? :D

[myoung84]

Much better! Lol

[DoubleTakeDodge]

[0212353]

I don't like 'em.

They need to be silver and mineral gray............

But they will work until I have some time to kill and swap out some stuff. ;)

[0212353]

thats more than I have on mine! LOL

20510 after getting home tonight.

[myoung84]

You need to drive more! This isn't even my daily driver! I've put another 20k on my company car this year....

I'll have had this truck 2 years December 31st, and I'm not thinking about trading it in which is odd for me (Expect for that brief moment I wanted a 14 Power Wagon). Normally I don't go past 2 years. I really think I'm in this one for the long haul. Might actually get one paid off. Lol

[(S.M.R) 101]

I'm at 30k! It will be 2 years with this truck on February 1st of next year. I bought that SUV last June and have put 44k miles on it!!

I'm getting the itch to get into something new.... as you guys know, but I may keep the truck around for awhile.

[1Tuff6.7]

Haha. 3 years in may. 102k what do I win?

[0212353]

no, you guys just drive too much. LOL

Everything I do is right here. Work to home, 3 miles. The warehouse is in the middle of that. Ummm...........thats really the only places I go. Work, warehouse, home. LOL

April 16, 2010 - bought the truck. I have 20,517 miles on it now. MMMMM

More posts in 3.5 years on the various forums vs miles........hmmmmm

[Lt.Dan]

First time on in awhile! Been slammed busy and dumpin money into this piece of shit ford. Lol. 3k deep in the last 2 weeks and it doesn't run -_- shouldda went with a dodge!

[Lt.Dan]

And you guys don't drive at all! I've had this truck since June 22nd and out 7k miles on it!

[(S.M.R) 101]

lieutenant DAN! lol.

Been awhile buddy.

[DoubleTakeDodge]

I will have had mine for 2 years on February 15th. I've put 17K on it so far. Not too much since I stay around Stillwater most of the time!

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Some pictures I've either taken or found that some of y'all may like!

(only difference is in the LED cover / amber)

[myoung84]

Gray LED cover. ;)

[0212353]

kinda what I was leaning towards as well. Don't need 3 colors in the lights..... ;)

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Damn! I thought you guys weren't able to pull that scheme off? Isn't that what Kyle was shooting for before? Maybe painter number 2 is bringing some new things to the table? Either way, killer look!

[0212353]

its been so long since Kyle's set (yeah, I know, not really - but it seems like that was 2 years ago - time is FLYING) - I honestly can't remember. I have a hard enough time remembering anything I quote off the hip......15 minutes later. (shit is nutz...)

Painter #2.....I haven't seen in months. He was brought on to fill any busy times, we've been steady as hell, but not to the point where I've needed him. I can only open so many anyway. LOL And, his day job (the body shop he owns) has picked up quite a bit too. Its all good!

I am just screwin' around in photoshop too......if this will be a reality, who knows. I haven't showed it to the painter yet. I think he's still mad at me for the Ford job we (I) took the other day..........it took him 11 hours.

https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/999296_566410160094215_1763001910_n.jpg

me....I thought those shrouds were bolted on. Whoops. No. That was a VERY expensive paint job (most yet, and it was just the damn shrouds!)

[(S.M.R) 101]

Yeah that was the very first plans for it, except I wanted the little turn signal light on the side of the housing silver.

I would have loved it.... Gives it a "TRON" look!

[0212353]

did I miss that thought? of just not remembering it?

[(S.M.R) 101]

We talked about it in the beginning but you said something with the painter and him having a tough time doing this scheme. So we had to throw it out and go with the current set up.

[0212353]

well wtf. I brought this up with him earlier today, he was like "yeah, that looks great"

errrrrrrr....................

need to smack a foo.....

http://www.fowlerdodge.com/Oklahoma-City/For-Sale/New/Dodge/Durango/2014-2WD-4dr-R-T-Gray-SUV/23184662/

Yep, for the lockers.

I like the Durango! I really like that color too. It has so many different colors in it and looks amazing in the sun. It's a tough call though. Your truck is bad ass but that Durango can very easily be just as awesome! Some rims and a mild drop and you're in business!

Looks like a headache.........

It is. LOL. But there's some pretty good profit in these. ;) Now I just gotta build 25 more...

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

You are building those at home Morgan? If so, DAMN!

I'm really, REALLY torn on the Durango. Sarah doesn't want to do it because we would start over on payments, mods, etc. Considering I've never had anything but a truck...I'm worried I won't like it after a while...but damn, I mean its a nice SUV.

[myoung84]

Yep, all built in the garage.

That's the only reason I wouldn't/couldn't do it. I really like having a truck. Sure you can buy a trailer and do most everything you need, but sometimes you just need a truck...

I love the Jeep but there's no way I would give up the truck for it.

[myoung84]

I don't think I want to go that far Jeremy!

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that much tire spin. I was tossing some stuff in the dumpster at work and a coworker was standing outside, so of course I punch it when I take off. I was expecting a chirp, but that works too. Lol. Traction control was still on.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Hell yeah Morgan.. I rolled a really nice burn out a few days ago and didn't think the truck would do it lol. Got them 35's roasting

[0212353]

get a torque converter............scares the shit out of me regularly............LOL

most of the time when I'm halfway through my turn and she breaks loose like YEAH BITCHES!!! lol

:yaoface2:

[Okiespaniels]

Nice job on the weight loss. I've been working my way down as well. I'd started at 303 lbs in April. I'd lost 42 lbs by July.

Am now in 36 inch waist pants. I have about 50 lbs to go to hit my dr's target weight.

[0212353]

rockin'!

I am shooting for 210-215 by the end of April now.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Damn JJ! What are you doing again? I'm at about 200-205, but I don't have the height you do.

[0212353]

I'm doing the body by vi 90 day challenge - the "transformation kit".

Last couple days have been fun. LOL - stupid holiday cookies. All good, I've gotta remember "Its not about what you eat between Christmas and New Years, its what you eat between New Years and Christmas".

After this weekend, back to the norm. Whats nice though......my parents Christmas get together (Saturday) - we'll have more healthy stuff to eat.

Been really kickin on some veggies and this greek yogurt dip we found. Dropped some hot sauce in there, and BAM, spiffy. lol

(and yes, it still weirds me out to hear myself say that)

[myoung84]

I'm impressed man! I'm up to 230 now, need to be 180...

[0212353]

I keep asking myself why I waited so long..........

And looking forward to my next goal now. ;)

[myoung84]

If you keep going yoyre going to be 125 lbs by this time next year. Lol

[0212353]

no.

Never.

What kills me, is that at 6'3" 215 pounds is still considered overweight. Would have to be under 200 to be "normal". WTF

[myoung84]

My normal is like 160. There's no way.

[0212353]

the range for mine is 148-199. Umm..........150? Seriously? HALF of what I was? Eh.....no.

Whats interesting is that my body burns off almost 3K calories a day, with me just sittin' on my duff.

I know I'm not getting enough calories when its all said and done..........

Average day:
Shake 1 - 125 calories
Snack (almonds or something) - 160
Shake 2 - 125
Snack - orange - 45
dinner - typically ranges between 5-900 calories
snack, if I have one.....more nuts or veggies / dip, hummus, etc. Maybe 150-200 cals...

So, lets go high - 1,555 - almost 1/2. I know I should probably get around 2K - 2200 a day for "rapid weight loss".

Ok, my head hurts. Back to my slew of emails here.............

[myoung84]

It's the Oklahoma Edition, regular cab Ford Raptor! Haha

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/29/ru7u8uva.jpg

So my fiancé wants a truck.....291

I think I'm doing it right

[myoung84]

Hell yeah you are! Nice truck!

[1Tuff6.7]

I'm thinking a cam, stall, a little bottle and some love from Abel racing! She'll be driving my truck before long lol

Havin' fun............

Bought that damn snowblower yesterday. Should have done that about......9 years ago. LOL Good lord, made things EASY.

We got about 8-10" here now......its crazy!

First time I've taken the truck out in this stuff, and I'm VERY impressed with it! Took it to Kendra's (wife) grandparents to do their drive. Took......8 minutes. :D

[myoung84]

Sweet! I shoveled mine by hand Saturday. It sucked. Took me like 3 minutes. LOL. I just shovel the path to my truck, the rest can melt on it's own.

After the snow we had a few years ago I almost bought a snow plow for my ATV. It would be cool to have but I'd use it like twice per year to plow the 2" off the driveway.

my wife is anal about the shoveling.......drives me nuts. But.....I get it.

Next house, it'll be different. Won't ever have a driveway like we have now, long, with a slope to the garage........and I can barely fit the truck between the house and fence. EH.

we will probably only use this thing 5-6 times a year? I dunno.....

Did 4 driveways with it yesterday though. ;)

[DoubleTakeDodge]

That truck is awesome! my issue of Truckin' just came in today :D

[0212353]

when you are ready to let that issue go.....(if its the one with this on the cover) - let me know. ;)

It sure is! How about a trade? You get me a news stand issue and I'll give ya this one? I have every issue from the past 5 years or so and would like to keep that up but I don't care which cover I have!

You know he's seriously talking about selling his truck, right Jeremy?

shoot me an email - [email protected] - I'll just shoot over some funds to ya. Grab one locally there, saves me shipping one for more than the cost of the actual issue ;) Let me know how much to get that one to me, and I appreciate it!

You know he's seriously talking about selling his truck, right Jeremy?

Yup.....

and.....you don't even know how much my wife would kill me if I brought that up. The house savings fund is looking like a little silver RCSB - HAHA..

bad timing for it, but I'd still love to have that bad boy! :rockit:

[myoung84]

Needed a break from work so we went out in the warehouse and did some forklift flexing. This is the first time I've fully flexed it out since I installed the new suspension and tires. I think this is pretty good! The rear tire is barely on the ground. The forks were at 33", so the bottom of the tire was probably around 30". Didn't think to measure that. The 35's don't touch anywhere but I'd have some rubbing issues with 37's up front. There's some slight frame flex as seen in the bumper pics and the side stripe pics, but considering the weight the frame is supporting, I don't think it's bad at all. You can also see my new Carli low mount opposing steering stabilizer.

I guess that headlight is an aftermarket? Looks good!

spiffy square projectors!

[myoung84]

Spiffy indeed!

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

:Stupid Me:

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Did that just suddenly appear Morgan? It normally says to push the brake, right?

[myoung84]

It popped up when the Diablo tuner was doing its thing. Normally says push brake and push start button with a picture of the start button. Once the tuner is done it goes back to normal. It's very odd because none of the GCs are manual. I think the only manual that gets the 8.4 is the Cummins...

[myoung84]

It's a 30 minute process to tune the Jeep the first time or go back to stock. Changing tunes is pretty quick though.

[0212353]

damn..........30 minutes?

Hey Dave, I found a pic of a pretty slick 410hp 1985 s10.. :D

[0212353]

thats pretty slick!

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

That is almost exactly what I want to build. The grill says its a bit newer than what I want, but hell, I swapped that same grill onto my '84, so who knows. Nice find!

[0212353]

its gotten me to 71 pounds gone! ;)

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Great job Jeremy.

[0212353]

Thank you!

I'm at 233.7 now..... (so 71.7 down) - wife looked at me crazy last night.........we were discussing "goals".

When I started this in September....I said my 90 day goal was 40 pounds. I changed that in Oct to 55 (which would put me at 250). I hit it. ;) My goal on this round (90 days) was to be at 215 by the end (end of march). I told her that I am still shooting for that, but really want to stretch that to 205. I'm a numbers guy. I want 100 pounds gone. Triple digits! If things stay the way they are....I'll hit that around March 20th. ;) But, not going to count my chickens before they hatch! :)

I know that from March 14th - 20th......I'm going to be working my ass off. Moving into the new place, building my shop....let it begin! I'm going to have another electric panel installed in the basement, run all of my "shop" stuff off of it, I'm tired of circuits blowing if I have the heater on.....and want to use the heat gun. LOL stupid. Might get me a REAL compressor too....but thats down the road. First up, an oven or 2 down there. No more up / down the steps to get lights. Based on my fitbit dashboard....I'm at 34 flights of steps climbed today. I opened 14 lights this morning, so thats 14 times up / down. Plus just coming and going, screwin' around, etc.

I was playing around in Google maps and thought this was a cool shot. Wish it was higher resolution. This would have been taken during the summer of 2012, that was a horrible year for my lawn, which was pretty damn awesome last summer. The street view is more recent but I have my company car in the driveway instead of my truck.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Damn, that rear tire on the Warrior is what my bike's tire looks like. I know I'm going to have to put a new one on it soon if I want to sell it easily, it just sucks putting on a new tire just to sell the damn thing.

I didn't know you had a Sonoma. How many vehicles are you keeping now Matt?

[Matt]

Yeah it feels like it's on rails now with a new rear

I've actually got a 85 sonoma too extended cab 5 spd w/camper and a blow through this is a vortec 4.3 03 and pulls great I've got the two rams 2 sonomas several toys and my 79 chevy still

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Went home to Sapulpa for the weekend hoping for a relaxing weekend away from my ridiculously busy class and work schedule only to wind up working all weekend anyways.. Spent all day Saturday moving my girlfriend's family across Tulsa and all day today hauling mulch for my parents. I made two round trips moving her family and their crazy amount of solid hardwood furniture (the most I've ever seen!) and 4 round trips from Owasso to my house. I hauled right at 12 cubic yards of mulch :D. All in all, I burnt almost $200 in gas this weekend putting in work on my days off!

I like the Chive sticker dude. My truck has about a 1/3 of a bed full of my old flower bed in it right now. Oh, and a Christmas tree.

[0212353]

my truck is full of headlights. LOL

one day soon, I'll have mulch in it.......or get nice to my new neighbor that runs a lawn care business. "Hey neighbor........want to make my yard look pretty?" LOL

[myoung84]

Found this one at a local dealer! Had the RamBox and 3.21 gears, so not for me, but I love the color and the sport hood.

http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i360/myoung84/20140407_131805_zpsfr4d96j7.jpg

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

That's a badass truck, but I agree that the gearing and boxes kill it.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Love that color! But like stated no ram box and 3.21 gears.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Here you go Morgan! Loaded!

http://www.quinnchryslerdodge.net/new/Ram/2014-Ram-1500-Bartlesville-OK-0a34cd6c0a0a00496cc1878711dd63f6.htm

[(S.M.R) 101]

You might want to do some extra digging on the gearing in these trucks.. From what I was told and shown, 3.92 is a "standard option" in all 13' thru 14' Sport trucks. I looked at the ram book that shows optional equip and standard and the Sports all have 3.92 rears..

For this reason right here;
When I was looking at my current trucks and others.. I found a lot of dealer sites having this listed.

3.21 Rear Axle Ratio
Dual Rear Exhaust with Bright Tips
3.92 Rear Axle Ratio
Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle

After really digging into it with several dealerships and eventually RAM support group... I found that 3.92 is a standard option in the Sports. Someone explained what the 3.21 was but I cannot remember.....

[myoung84]

Hmm, the Ram site and all the window stickers I've looked at showed 3.92s as a $50 option. At at rate, it's one of those non-negotiable options. LOL. I really don't want two undergeared vehicles, I hate the 3.09s in the Jeep. I don't know why they couldn't have stayed with 3.45s, at least as an option.

I like the one you posted, but it's still more than I want. I don't want the fancy park assist, Alpine stereo, CD player, or sunroof. I'm also considering staying with the standard cloth seats. I'd lose the ventilated seats and passenger power seat. Then I could go with some nice Katskin leather seats with suede inserts. I also want the 6' bed. It's only $300 more and my bed cover would swap right over. The truck I've built comes in at $48,295 and I think I could get it for right at $40k or a little under.

[myoung84]

I like it man.

I did all the reading on it last night. Looks like some good upgrades with the 14' PW!

What are you thinking now Morgan?

[myoung84]

As sweet as it would be (minus the graphics), I still don't need a 2500 or Power Wagon...

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

I like it except the grill inserts and graphics.

[(S.M.R) 101]

It's cool... No need for it though... I like the chops you did.

Like you and Dave said loose the grill and graphics.

[myoung84]

I actually like the red grille inserts. It makes the front pop just a little rather than being solid black. Some red accented headlights would be sweet too.

[0212353]

black wheels eh?

[myoung84]

I like them much better than the 17's. They are a $1400 option though. I could order it with the 17's and buy new wheels and be a few dollars ahead if I sell the stock tires.... I've always like the XD addicts, maybe go with machined this time to tie into the bumpers?

[0212353]

don' act like you are going to keep the bumpers chrome.

[myoung84]

Hahaha. You know me too well... I'm not sure I want black wheels again though. I think the machined face wheels would be a nice change. I really like the Method NV with machined face too but I'd have to get them in a 17 since they don't have the right bolt pattern in an 18.

http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0116/6842/products/MR_305_Machined-1001_8949ace1-8688-4ef0-9484-cab002ca429e.png?v=1377121478

[myoung84]

I think the Method NV 17's and Toyo ATII 285/70/17 combo would be a good choice. Total pakage weight is 77 lbs. That's going to be hard to beat.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Love the Method wheels.. I have been looking into them since I got the 1500.. I'd want them PC'd mineral grey though.

Love the truck Morgan. looks awesome. I really want some fender flares on this truck... I love the look of the stock flares on the 1500's

[myoung84]

Flares would look good, as long as they are the 2500 flares. Don't really like the 1500 flares with the Sport.

I really like Method wheels. They are very strong and have a tough powder coat finish. They hold up to scratches a hell of a lot better than my old XD wheels and it's almost like they are teflon coated, nothing seems to stick to them! LOL.

I like the polished Standards and the Mesh too. Something different than black.

[myoung84]

Or even the Fat Five. Hell, I like all the Method wheels. They have all of the 17's available with our bolt pattern and some of the 18's. Nothing for 20s though.

[(S.M.R) 101]

That's the only issue is that they don't offer it in a 20" for this bolt pattern. I really want some Method wheels but they will have to be 20" or bigger :D

[myoung84]

Yep, not going to get methods in a 20...

[0212353]

stupid truck.......

Just in case..........

LOL

[myoung84]

Lol. I think I'd call in sick before I rode to work on a bike. I'd be dead on the side of the road.

[0212353]

I'd work from home...... The bike is for me. Wanted one from the day we moved in here. Nice place to ride...... If I didn't have boxes going out daily I would ride to work sometime too

[0212353]

from saturday night.........

Family was away, I decided to have a "me" night.

Made me some chili

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f210/0212353/Bucket2/20140503_163257_zpsa3d37b45.jpg

Then went for a walk around the neighborhood. Its about 10 minutes to the lake/pond. Sat there for a bit, thinking........about who knows what. Mind was clear, it was great.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f210/0212353/Bucket2/20140503_185611_zps7959722a.jpg

Continued walking, got to the other end of the lake (around all the houses, etc). Saw a few turtles

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f210/0212353/Bucket2/20140503_191057_zpsecbb46b9.jpg

Then went home. It was just under 2 miles around the area I walked. Need to do that a bit more, was nice to get out, clear my mind, get some fresh air.......break in the new sneakers. ;)

[myoung84]

You have a pretty damn nice neighborhood! Now that the weather is nice we're going to start getting the kiddo out and walk a bit. I like walking, just can't do that running crap. LOL

[0212353]

I love this freakin' neighborhood man.

Walking trails galore, and they REALLY keep up with everything. I see them out there cutting the common grounds about every 4-5 days. There is a nice wooded area next to our house, it goes to the next neighborhood, or circles all the way around the back area of our spot.........to a city park. The more I'm at this house the more I love it.

Now the back yard........that sucks ass. I need to get something done there. LOL Its just over run with random fuckin' plants.

But yeah, nice and quiet back here. There are a few houses that are showing their age......nothing crazy - but for the most part, everyone seems to keep up with their stuff.

[0212353]

"working from home"

LOL

snack this morning

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f210/0212353/Bucket2/20140507_091013_zps856178e1.jpg

and dinner for later

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f210/0212353/Bucket2/20140507_112309_zps1934a529.jpg

come on 5:00!!!

[myoung84]

Yumm!

[0212353]

oh yeah, that was tasty!

Surprisingly, the srirarcha butternut squash fries on the grill where freakin' amazing too.

[myoung84]

Gas mileage has gone up since I removed the headers and ported tb. Haven't been driving any different and mpg is normally around 9-10.

[0212353]

interesting

[myoung84]

Could be partly a coincidence with the change to summer gas but it started creeping up right afterwards.

[myoung84]

Nothing to see here. Just pushing my broke down Ford... 401

BOOM!

106 down, and thats how much it took to not be considered overweight anymore!

[myoung84]

That's pretty damn impressive!

[0212353]

TY!

Its been a life changing experience, not only in my food consumption - but how I think.......total transformation - for the best! I'm quite proud of where I've come, and will do what is needed to keep this off.......just can't stand the idea of being back where I was before.....

[myoung84]

Truck #2 was delivered recently so I thought I'd at least look at it. I'd still be thrilled with the monotone but I'm happy with my decision. I'd be looking to paint so chrome pretty damn quick.

http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i360/myoung84/20140627_155247_zpsoum73fzh.jpg (http://s1089.photobucket.com/user/myoung84/media/20140627_155247_zpsoum73fzh.jpg.html)

[0212353]

hard call...........

I wish they woudl have kept the mineral gray bottom. that matched with other colors so nicely........like it better than the blacks now. oh well. looks good either way!

[myoung84]

Agreed. I've grown to really like the black on my truck but it just doesn't work on all the colors.

[myoung84]

Carli's first car! This is her birthday present but I thought I'd get it out and make sure she wasn't scared of it. She loved it! It's remote control so I can drive her around.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Glad you stuck with the 2 tone Morgan. Your truck is awesome man.

Love the kiddos car haha, she looks excited as hell.

[(S.M.R) 101]

TY!

That's awesome Jeremy. I ended up losing 15 pounds before the wedding. Went from 197 to 182 in 6 weeks. It felt good.

Unfortunately.... I'm back up to 190, after being on the honeymoon for 12 days....... What can I say the beach drinks and food was amazing.. Me and Em tried hitting the gym while we were there but only made it 2 times and we were like screw it, we're on vacation..

So I'm back to it to get back down to about 180 and then keep lifting!

[myoung84]

Welcome back to civilization!

[(S.M.R) 101]

Thanks Morgan lol. It's nice to be back and in the swing of "normal" lol.. Saint Lucia is a wild country man

[0212353]

thats a slick car there man! LOL

Kyle......screw it on vacation man. ;)

[(S.M.R) 101]

Hell yes.. If I got rid of 15 in 6 weeks... 8 will be no problem lol...

I got back on Friday and my company is holding a weight loss challenge and the winner gets to go on a cruise for 2.... Hello second honeymoon for me and the wife, lol.

[0212353]

I'd hate to see a biggest loser contest at this point...........I'd be pissed. LOL

At my weight, and you too........you aren't going to lose much - not like where I was before (I lost over 1/3 of my weight)....so you have no shot in hell against that donut eating fool in the corner. ;)

[(S.M.R) 101]

I hear you.. I'm only looking to get back down to 180 and then start bulking up some. We'll see how it goes. I like that it's become sort of a hobby for me to work out.

I felt like such shit after doing so good before the wedding, then literally pigging out the whole honeymoon lol.

[0212353]

I need to start working out........I don't get my walks in lately (time, hot, etc) - but I'd love to get my totalgym set back up and start working on my abs.....and other shit.

[0212353]

slowly but surely............24K! lol

[myoung84]

Lol. What's it been, like 4 years? 5 years?

[0212353]

50 months! lol

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Morgan, the two-tone truck looks far better than monotone, in my opinion. Oh, and be careful, you are setting Carli's standards a little high with her first car being a pink Audi, aren't you?

Jeremy, congrats dude. Damn, you weigh less than I do now. I'm between 200 and 205.

Kyle, who cares about 8 pounds when you are on your honeymoon. I'm glad you guys had a blast...I'm already missing New York.

[0212353]

Thanks duder!

I think it "sunk in" on my wife last night.........she's in the mid 170s.....and not too happy that I'm "only" 20-25 pounds away from her weight.

If I could only figure out the best way to minimize some loose skin........cuz, I'm not getting surgery for that shit! At 107 pounds down now......which I still look in the mirror and say "who the f is that"........

[myoung84]

Morgan, the two-tone truck looks far better than monotone, in my opinion. Oh, and be careful, you are setting Carli's standards a little high with her first car being a pink Audi, aren't you?

Thanks David. I'm very happy with my decision. Hindsight being 20/20, I could have had them not order the second truck and negotiate a little better deal on this one for their error... And this will be the last Audi she gets. LOL. I really wanted the Ram for her but it wasn't remote controlled.

You guys are welcome up here anytime you want buddy. You'll always have a place to stay.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Jeremy, I'm not sure what you can do for that other than surgery. I had an Aunt lose a bunch of weight and that was her only option. It turned out very well though.

[0212353]

yeah, no.........I am not a doctor guy, surgery can shove it. LOL

[myoung84]

Didn't like the cheap decals on Carli's car so I designed some new ones. Bought some Avery photo sticker paper so these should look pretty good once they are on. :D

yeah, I'm quite sure those would melt in my oven. lol

[myoung84]

Beautiful day today so I Fukken waxed both vehicles! I don't think I've ever had both vehicles this clean at the same time. Lol

[0212353]

looks GREAT dude!

I'm hoping to have time to do mine before the trip!

[myoung84]

I was going to ask how many cans of Fukken and microfibers you were bringing. Lol

[0212353]

LOL, I forget about that stuff.........I need to throw a couple cases in. ;)

[myoung84]

I've still got a good supply but I'm sure you could unload at least a couple cases on your journey. I think I did the power wagon twice maybe? Lol

Looking at those pics, I almost want to lock the Jeep in entry/exit height. Looks pretty good like that...
