The Offical B.S Thread!!!!

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Yeah, I hear ya man. I know exactly what you mean. I wish i could do the same. But i have yet to go into debt for college and I'm going to try and keep it that way! That is much more important to me than a truck right now. I would love to have a qclb 3rd gen 4x4... After college though!!

[Lt.Dan]

Yep. At that's why I'm callin it quits and just getting my associates. I'm burn out on school and just ready to start a career and doing somethin I actually like rather than wasting away in a class that I'm never gonna use.

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Yeah, I'm definitely burnt out... But I know where I want to be and I don't wanna go back to school so I'm just gettin it done now so I can make the big bucks when I'm done!

[(S.M.R) 101]

Dudes.. I'm burnt out from work lol i'm about 178 hours per billing cycle (2 Week) consistant lol..

Whats the average? like 80 hours... 40 hours a week is full time if i'm correct.. I miss them days lol. But I don't get paid based on hours I get a day rate

[Lt.Dan]

Yeah. I just can't take it anymore. Everyday I go to class I'm counting down til I can leave and go to work. I like working way more than school. And I'm tired just barely getting by. I want full time, 40 hours guaranteed. Not 30 hours some weeks and 69 hours some weeks. I want consistency. And a boss that doesn't have his head up his ass. Lol.

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Yeah,average is 40 per week but i do generally between 50 and 55 hrs/wk. Occasionally up to 70. But that's during the summers. And I do overtime school trying to get done sooner.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Yeah they just don't want to give you 40 a week or more for overtime lol... I hate when people/companies do that

[Lt.Dan]

I don't get overtime. Lol. Just the same rate per hour no matter how many I work

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

If I told you guys the policy as far as hours worked up here...you would probably drag me away from this place.

[ramthis9501]

Wish I had the money... I'd buy Jarrod's truck in a heartbeat!

[Lt.Dan]

Start saving Colton. Lol. It'll be awhile before I sell it. I'm not entirely sure I'm gonna get this job. My uncle thought i was going to be done with school in December and has already talked to his company about getting me on there. I told him i won't be done til May so idk if a position will still be open. I'm sure there will be. I just hope i can get it because its basically nothing but traveling. They lay fiber optic cable at military bases and travel all over the United States and actually to other countries sometimes. One of my uncles that works there us usually on the coast somewhere which would be badass and its damn good money, plus you get per diem that nearly completely covers everything. I'm just ready to get school the hell over with. I'm ready to start a career and actually make money.

[Lt.Dan]

And when I move to Shawnee I'll be close to all y'all and can start coming to more meets and shows.

[ramthis9501]

Hell yeah dude hope you can get that job

And when you move to Shawnee, we all need to hang out more

[Lt.Dan]

Hell yeah man

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Just an update...but this is post number 20,000 on the site!!!

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Dang!! What was the start date of the site??

[(S.M.R) 101]

Sweet.

[ramthis9501]

Hell yeah! Start date was Aug. 1st, 2011

[Lt.Dan]

Truck is back on the market. Going to look at a 2008 3rd gen 4x4 hemi tonight.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Get it done dude!

[Lt.Dan]

Went looked at it and drove it and I love it. It's so much more comfortable than this tank I'm in. I'm gonna get it. Soon

[Lt.Dan]

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Good looking truck dude.

[Lt.Dan]

It's an 08 and only has 44k miles.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Nice dude!

[ramthis9501]

Awesome!

[myoung84]

Great looking truck!

[Lt.Dan]

Forums>Facebook groups. Me and James just blew up on the Oklahoma coal rollers. Haha. Bunch of fukken rednecks.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

What happened?

[Lt.Dan]

All they do is talk shit when someone asks a question. They try to turn everything into a pissin match.

[(S.M.R) 101]

A member on another forum found this last night..

Scroll all the way down and check out the pictures of the truck.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

WTF?!?! Are you going to message them? I'll happily email them as your "legal representative."

[(S.M.R) 101]

haha..

and I bought Sonar not spyder or WTF ever this company is.. Be my lawyer Dave!!

[Lt.Dan]

That's freakin hilarious. Lol

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Forums>Facebook groups. Me and James just blew up on the Oklahoma coal rollers. Haha. Bunch of fukken rednecks.

THIS hahaha We tore them a new one :)

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Hahaha wtf. Did you send those pics? lol

[(S.M.R) 101]

Nope.. they ripped them from one of the forums..

The fact they water marked them does kind of piss me off... they are advertising my truck on their site without my permission...

I thought it was funny tho..

Think I should write them a letter?

[DoubleTakeDodge]

I sure as hell would!! Tell them you want compensation for them using and watermarking YOUR photos and representing a product that is not thiers

[(S.M.R) 101]

I'm writing a letter

[0212353]

I'm writing a query in SQL. about the same right? will fall on deaf ears.

But, I'll say that I have had this happen before, and I got a nice product out of it. :D

[(S.M.R) 101]

I just wrote an email asking who gave them permission to use my photos and told them that the lights are Sonar not their brand..

Not being a dick but just asking WTF is up with that lol.. I don't own the truck anymore so i'm not too worried about it..

Now if it was my current truck I would kick up more of a stink

[0212353]

if it was your new tails I'd sue 'em. LOL

[(S.M.R) 101]

I would have had my corporate attorney send a letter... that would make them shit their pants lol..

reading the letters they send me to give to landowners scare me lol

[(S.M.R) 101]

Look at this remark from the email I sent:

Dear kyleandress1,

This picture was posted on the internet, which makes it public property. We can take the pictures down. These brand of these lights are sonar. If you have any concerns please let us know.

[(S.M.R) 101]

So just for shit's and grins I contacted my corporate lawyer andthis is what he told me


Kyle,

The legality of this issue all depends upon how the image is going to be used. Is it for commercial or just "viewing" purposes? If it is for commercial purposes, and is going to be used to promote something of a commercial nature then you have to get what we call a "photo release". Otherwise if the image is for "Just Viewing" purposes, and they took the photo from a public space in what we call "plain view" then it is legal. But to answer your question about the company water marking your photo's yes they are claiming rights to your photo.

I know this does not involve our current work matters but let me know if you want me to proceed any further with the company at fault.

[0212353]

haha, rat bastards.

[(S.M.R) 101]

I know right lol

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Please fucking tell me you told them about that.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Yes I copied the email from the lawyer and sent it back to them. Just waiting for a response back

[Lt.Dan]

Why is watermarked spyder, the company name is dtmoto, and the brand of lights are sonar?? Lol.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Exactly...

[myoung84]

Tell them to give you $1000 or you're going to cut them.

[(S.M.R) 101]

hahaha... Now Morgan that's an idea

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Hahaha get somethin out of it!

[Lt.Dan]

I have gotten the weirdest offers and what not for my truck. Lol.

[Lt.Dan]

Welp I think I've got the ol truck sold! Ill know a little more tomorrow! I've been offered a huge variety of stuff for it. Had a guy text me today asking if I would trade him my hot rod vp44 for a stock vp44. I told him I'm not parting it out. I'm selling it. People are literally stupid.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

I'm not one for sappiness or sympathy but keep me in mind fellas. I came home to find that my dog had somehow gotten past a baby lock and under the sink to get to our trash can. While under there he ate five pieces of roach bait. I took him to the local emergency clinic, coughed up $530 I really don't have, and left him overnight. I've had him seven years and he is a great companion. I don't care if you pray or not or think a dog is worth that much but he is my buddy and more so he has become my sons buddy and companion.

[OklaHemi]

dammit Dave I'm sorry to hear that. I hope your pup pulls through.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Damn dude..... I would do the same to my dog Zoey man... She is my buddy and goes to work with me everyday. She goes and visits all the construction workers. I get sappy with her as well man.

[Lt.Dan]

I've got 4 dogs total. One of em I can't stand cuz he's a dick but I love the other ones. They're basically my brothers and sisters. My lab is turning 14 this December and we've had him since he was a pup. I feel ya Dave. Idk if my lab is gonna make it too much longer past 14. He's gettin to be in pretty bad physical shape. All my dogs except my lab are rescues. We've got a real soft spot for dogs. Hope it's all good man

[ramthis9501]

Hope he'll be alright. I got dogs to and my boxer especially is my buddy.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Just called and although he had a rough night he will be ok. Going to pick him up around 9. Thank you fellas.

[ramthis9501]

Awesome good to hear

[myoung84]

Glad he'll be ok! I wouldn't have done anything different.

[0212353]

glad to hear he's going to be good!!

[0212353]

some nights...............you look back on and ask yourself...............why must some people in this world be so jealous? Take any chance they can to point out a (possible) shortcoming in my work.......when they couldn't recreate what I do, and have even come to me countless times for help. Fucking assholes.

I'll leave it at that.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Unhappy costomer?

[0212353]

nah, I can deal with those. ;) Shit, can't please everyone and thats just a part of doing business. Learn to work through the issue, and move on.

Jealousy is a bitch though. I can't fix that.

[(S.M.R) 101]

10-4

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

No, what he's experiencing is someone who attempted to do what he does and even succeeded like...twice? And now he points out what he thinks is a flaw in a project that Jeremy took great pride in. Hell, even the fucking owner, who is probably more meticulous than all of us combined (judging by his truck), didn't say anything about it. All I'm going to say is FUCK CM...who is Morgan's bestest buddy in the whole wide world. (Sorry Morgan, had to buddy.)

[0212353]

nailed it.

My good stalker CM. I had his first set of retros........they sucked, I sent them back and had to do a claim on paypal to get my $$ back. He's done quite a few more since then........but even the ones he did for Jeramie, he opened them the day he got them and redid them. (what?). Hell, the ones he has on his truck now..........guess who opened the lights? Me. Come on.

Even if the lights were leaking, which is REALLY hard to tell in the pic if its a leak or a fucking reflection.........I would have fully expected Cody to pick up the phone and call me. Its a fucking SEMA build for christ's sake.........he's not going to take that chance.

Anyway, I held back a LOT of restraint last night by leaving that one alone......when every bone in my body wanted to just reach out and smack a bitch.

[Lt.Dan]

Well boys I might be a trader cuz they sold the dodge I was looking at out from underneath but found a really nice Chevy. But I still got the ol power wagon so ill still be a part of the forum.

[(S.M.R) 101]

I figured that's who you were talking about.. I seen the post he left on codys picture.. I almost said something but it's not my place..

That dude is a stalker creepy fuck...

[(S.M.R) 101]

Well boys I might be a trader cuz they sold the dodge I was looking at out from underneath but found a really nice Chevy. But I still got the ol power wagon so ill still be a part of the forum.

:ban: ^^^ :D

[myoung84]

Just seeing the initials CM sends chills down my spine!

[0212353]

It died off after last night...........if it continued this morning, I would have had some fun with it.

And yes, the initials do it too. LOL

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Just got on here or the first time this weekend.. Glad your pup is alright Dave!

[(S.M.R) 101]

Sooo.. Last night when I was talking to my cousin Rodney, I told him that I really wanted to throw a Ripp supercharger on my truck whenever they can add it....

I get a text from Rodney about 2 hours ago and he told me to call John at Ripp in Station Island, NY.... :D

So I was just on the phone for over a hour...... You guys might be seeing the first 2012 Ram 2500 hemi with a Ripp supercharger.. Rodney was telling me that if I beta my truck I could get all the work done for free! and be a Sponsor.. Yeah Buddy!!

So i'm suppose to get some more info next week.. I will keep you guys up to date with our conversations..

Rod was telling me if I would have let him know when I bought my truck that he could have got me a ton of free shit through his Sponsors..

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Holy fuck. Transmission upgrade tome buddy.

[(S.M.R) 101]

No doubt dude!! me and john talked about that as well :D

I really hope this works out

[myoung84]

Fuck yeah dude!

[(S.M.R) 101]

I'm excited dude..

The one they instslled on their 2010 ram put down 440 tq and 409rwhp.. and the truck was bone stock except for the supercharger he saying if they do exhaust/headers it could jump up another 20+hp... I'm digging them numbers :D

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

How about the first Oklahoma RIPP supercharged truck? No? Damn.

[(S.M.R) 101]

That title sounds good to me dude lol

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Hell yeah man!!

[0212353]

and to think..........you were thinking of getting rid of this bad boy not too long ago! don't make me slap you..........

[ramthis9501]

Hell yeah! Hope it all works out man, good luck!

[(S.M.R) 101]

I know JJ, I know lol..

I couldn't get rid of the truck now :D

[(S.M.R) 101]

DAMN...... I want this sound sooooooo bad!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygil2f0jLF4

[myoung84]

Me too!!!

[ramthis9501]

I am fuckin pissed. Heading to school this morning on these hillbilly back country roads, they laid down tar and loose gravel as a cheap way to make a road. Its been a month since they did it last but there's still loose gravel all over the place. Well a rock got thrown up by a stupid Prius I was behind and put a nasty chip right dead center in my windshield. Can't ever have anything nice without it getting fucked up around here thanks to these shitty Oklahoma roads.

Anyone know of a good place to go get it filled before it cracks?

[myoung84]

I hear you dude, our roads suck! The front bumper on my Charger looks like hell, and it also has a crack in the windshield from a damn rock...

Call your insurance company. Mine will fix chips for free, they send out Safelite and the bill goes back to insurance.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Eh, it happens man. Are you not covered under insurance for that?

You really want to see shitty roads? Come up to Susquehanna county, Pa lol we don't have potholes, we have craters.

And they only use oil and gravel to fix the roads up here. Don't let it ruin your week man it's just a rock chip.

[ramthis9501]

I only have liability so they won't cover anything on my truck. I'm trying not to let it get to me to much, just frustrating because its always something new to fix and spend more money on.

[(S.M.R) 101]

That's what we do, keep spending money on our trucks dude lol.

[DoubleTakeDodge]

You can actually buy a filler kit at advance auto parts for pretty cheap.

[fastnnuffrt]

Most places its like 20-40 bucks to fill a chip

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Well I know this is a public forum and I don't want to offend anyone intentionally so I will watch what i say, but.... When I walked out of my apt today to go to a job site I have to study there were 6 little kids who happen to be of a different ethnic background than me throwing a baseball and playing catch RIGHT next to my truck... I now have a busted taillight...

[ramthis9501]

Damn today must have been "fukk up everybody's ride" day... That sucks dude

[(S.M.R) 101]

Bay Bay kids.........

[myoung84]

Fuck this day. Got home for lunch, installed my LMI intake, went to wash the truck and get gas, then on my way back home I rear end a fucking Obama loving Cavalier. I was third in line at a red light, turned greem, everybody started moving then for no reason the first car stops, 2nd car slam on the brakes and I smack the bitch. Wasn't doing more than 3-4 mph but I raped her trunk lid. My lightbar took the hit and I barely have a nick in it. I did push my lights back on the swivel bracket but I pushed them back and you can't tell anything happened. Let's just see how forgiving my accident forgiveness really is!

http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i360/myoung84/2012-10-31_13-02-29_440.jpg

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Damn!! Glad the truck is alright, Hope the insurance isn't bad!

[myoung84]

It can't be that bad. The blue book in fair condition is barely $3000, and I would consider this car below fair condition. It was the chicks car but some guy was driving it. Both were out walking around and it was clear there were no injuries. I just hope they don't come back and say I fucked up their neck and back.

[DoubleTakeDodge]

yeah, at that speed hopefully they're honest enough not to

[(S.M.R) 101]

Damn!

Glad your alright...... That sucks man

[myoung84]

What pisses me off the most is the Obama sticker, should have hit them harder...

[0212353]

lol

d'oh!

[ramthis9501]

Dammit man, hope they don't give you any trouble... Pretty funny though how these trucks can run over something and leave so much damage compared to the knick on the trucks bumper lol

[ramthis9501]

Already said before, but me and my friend Tyler have been working out and running for about 2 and a half months now. On September 19, I ran a mile in 7:20 while he ran it in 7:23. I'm proud to say as of today, we both ran the same pace and got it in 6:57!

I'm pretty stoked now because my goal of a 6 minute mile by Christmas actually seems realistic now!

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

From a member of our sister site RamForum.com:

Tons of pics from SEMA:

[myoung84]

Guess what guys?







We're having a baby! After two and a half long years of trying and thousands of dollars spent at the fertility clinic, we finally got the good news yesterday! Haven't even told family yet but I can't keep it in! Those of you who are friends with me on Facebook please keep this on the forums, we're not making it Facebook official for a while.

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Congratulations man! That's awesome!

[0212353]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Time for that Jeep! :D

[ramthis9501]

Awesome man! Congratulations!

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Congratulations Morgan!!! Having my son is the best thing that ever happened to me.

[(S.M.R) 101]

wow! Congrats Morgan!

[myoung84]

Thanks guys! I'm so frickin excited! And a little scared, lol!

We actually test drove a Jeep GC last night and I like it but I think I'm going to wait until they get the interior update and the 8 speed. I've read that this should be in the 2014's... My wife isn't ready to give up her car just yet unless she gets the SRT8 version. I have her both spoiled and trained well!

[0212353]

Trailhawk? :D:D

[myoung84]

Nope, she doesn't like that one, I tried. They had a mineral grey Laredo Altitude with black rims and grille, and no chrome that she actually likes. I also like the steel blue metallic color, it looks pretty cool...

I'm having a hard time making the sale since almost two years ago when I REALLY wanted the Charger SRT8, my excuse to trade her Mustang GT was to get in to a bigger, 4 door car for when we have a kid. Well, turns out she remembered that conversation! She was very hesitate to agree to the trade then and now she really loves the Charger, so it's going to be hard to convince her to get rid of it now. I just want a good traveling vehicle, which the Power Wagon is not... The Charger isn't a bad road trip car at all, but more cargo room would be nice...

I'll wait till the kid pops out and see how well the Charger works. I'm sure we'll trade it in for something bigger then...

[0212353]

feck.........

[myoung84]

Eh, doesn't look that deep. Just rip 'er out!

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

If that is your front driver side I just dealt with the same thing in almost the EXACT same spot two weeks ago.

[0212353]

tempted to rip...........but knowing my luck - it would leak like a mofo. not like I have a spare. LOL

[ramthis9501]

I got one in the right rear a couple weeks ago. Took it up to Hibdons and they fixed it for free. Patched up and everything and it is holding air like nothing ever happened.

[918Dodge]

^^ Same here, they fixed two of my tires, no charge at all.

[0212353]

I am in stl. Assholes up here won't fix shit without $$$

[fastnnuffrt]

Better than this little town I'm workin in I dropped my truck off this mornin to get oil changed and tire fixed and he called me and said his machine won't fix anything bigger than 18 lol

[DoubleTakeDodge]

here they charge $15 which really isn't bad

[0212353]

word(s) of the day "twat waffle"

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Made me laugh out loud in class.

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Hahaha

[0212353]

whats bad........I saw it on a post (which I later had to remove) on another forum. I'm still laughing. I mean......where the F did that come from?!?!

[myoung84]

Lol. Never heard that one.

[(S.M.R) 101]

whats bad........I saw it on a post (which I later had to remove) on another forum. I'm still laughing. I mean......where the F did that come from?!?!

why did you have to remove it lol?

[0212353]

it had a lot of bad neighbors.

[myoung84]

I did hear my grandma call someone a twat once. Now that was funny!

[MegaCabMan]

word(s) of the day "twat waffle"

I want one with chocolate syrup and whipped cream!

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Anybody else excited for the Red Dawn remake? I hope they don't ruin it...

[fastnnuffrt]

Anybody else excited for the Red Dawn remake? I hope they don't ruin it...

It looks badass

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Definitely! The original was really good. Hope this one is close!

[myoung84]

We're back!

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

I hope it stays that way!

[myoung84]

This site and RF seem much faster now. They had been very laggy for a while before they went down.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

I agree and I let the site owner know as well. He had it working great before this last, more severe incident. Hopefully this works better.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Agreed, Hope it stays!

[0212353]

fuck ddos attacks and the jackfuck that brought it on!

:batman2:

[(S.M.R) 101]

Thanks a lot Morgan!

haha

[myoung84]

HAHAHA! I knew you wouldn't be able to resist!

[0212353]

what did they sell 'em for?

[myoung84]

450 today only...

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

???

[(S.M.R) 101]

Diablo Trinity

[myoung84]

You get one?

[(S.M.R) 101]

No.. I really want to see if the update is coming in a week from diablo. I have the PP set up with them but cannot find any information about this update from Diablo

[myoung84]

I have my doubts as well. Worst case, I can resell it since I got it so cheap.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Yeah I just spoke with Mike from diablo. He said he could not give me a for sure date. But he said "All I can say is soon"

and I said "so "Soon" could mean 6 months?" and he said no it will not be anywhere that long of a wait.

He told me if I can get it cheap right now, Do it. and that's all he would say.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

So? Do IT!

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Hell, I wish I had the money. Although I've had good luck with Superchips and I love their trans tuning, some guys with very simple bolt-ons are getting impressive gains with custom tuning from Hemifever...it makes me wonder what I could get.

[fastnnuffrt]

Whered you get it for 450?

[myoung84]

There's a vendor on Ram forum selling the for $450 via PM only.

[fastnnuffrt]

I'm not a member.

[0212353]

that is crazy. 450 is WAY under MAP pricing. how the hell did they do that?

[fastnnuffrt]

Someone on there buy me one!!!

[myoung84]

He was advertising to send him a PM for the lowest price ever, so I did and he came back with $450 today only. Couldn't say no to that. He also asked for me to leave some positive feedback on the forum since he was new and not to mention the price...

Matt also sent me a PM asking what he was selling these for. He's fed up with Diablo since they told him absolutely no sales under MAP price and these big companies like XRT and AA are giving huge discounts. Matt said that you also have to send in your receipt if you have any warranty issues and they could deny you if you didn't pay the full price. I hope I don't have any issues but if I do I'll pin it back on XRT, though I would never do that to Matt....

[myoung84]

Someone on there buy me one!!!

Here's his email if you want to try that route...

they just posted on RF that they HAVE to sell it at 599. LOL

I'd be pissed off too, I mean..........the idea of MAP pricing is that the small guys don't have to lose their ass to make a sale. (imho)

Hell, I paid 450 for a USED one the other day.

[(S.M.R) 101]

I'm at the casino for the night and tomorrow boys.. wish me luck to win it big!!!

[0212353]

and..........for some reason I'm not getting email notifications. odd.

[(S.M.R) 101]

.............. :D

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Did you do well?

[(S.M.R) 101]

No good. I didn't get ahead at all. But I set a limit to spend and I didn't go over my limit... Emily did a lot better than me haha.

But we are fixing to head back down to the casino for a few hours and try again.

[myoung84]

Good luck this time!

[(S.M.R) 101]

Well I'm back in OKC boys. Some of you might have seen the fb post. Amongst all the problems that happened on thanksgiving yesterday morning he had a stroke caused from a clot in his brain. I jumped on the first plane I could and made it down 5 hours after I found out about the stroke I was in oklahoma.

He wad doing better by the time I got to the hospital at 10pm. That was the hardest thing in the world guys.. when my dad was looking at me and he was trying to tell me something but he couldn't say it. And just seeing the frustration in his face when he can't say what's on his mind.. man that was tough..

But the look on his face when me and my brother walked in was awesome. But he got so excited his blood pressure jumped through the roof and he started moving his head and kicking his leg. But he still can't move his right arm and right leg.

But I talked with my mom this morning and dad was saying hello. So he is starting to get some of his language back.

I'll be here for however long it takes for my dad to get better. I only bought a one way ticket. Just wanted to let you guys know.

[ramthis9501]

Damn man hate to hear that. You got my number, if you all need anything just give me a call. I know how much it helps to have people around during those kinds of times, prayers are being sent for your dad and everyone else there. Hang in there man

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Damnit Kyle. Let me know.

[myoung84]

Damn Kyle, sorry to hear that. Hope everything gets better soon.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

He's doing better today and we even got him to joke around a little bit. But he still is having a hard time saying stuff but is getting better.

[0212353]

still keepin' him in my prayers man!

[918Dodge]

I know the feeling.. Prayers headed your way. Hard to understand sometimes.. but everything happens for a reason. I wish the best for your dad as well as your family!

[DoubleTakeDodge]

Damn man... Hope everything turns out alright!!

[(S.M.R) 101]

Hey Colton, I passed you when you were pulling out of the warren theater tonight. You went and watched twilight didn't you? Lol

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

I'll almost guarantee he took his new girlfriend to see it. So, Colton...Team Edward or Team The-Other-Guy?

[(S.M.R) 101]

^^ hehehe

[ramthis9501]

Fuck twilight! Lol we just went and ate at that diner they have there. Wasn't to bad of food and you should've called me dude!

[(S.M.R) 101]

I was on my way back to the hospital.

[ramthis9501]

Oh alright, well like I said, if you all need anything give me a call

[Matt]

man i know this feeling i went through this with my dad a little over a year ago it's a big deal and if you don't help him with his new lifestyle changes things could happen again later on .. in my dads case he was a hard ass so i had to stay on him about diet and stuff but he recovered well from it even though it didn't look great for the first week or 2 wish the best

[(S.M.R) 101]

Thanks Matt. It was just so crazy because I had never seen my dad like this, ever.. He has never been to the hospital for anything other then knee stuff and being sick. It was rough.

Dad is doing a lot better. He picked up his right leg yesterday and didn't even know he was doing it lol.

His speach has got alot better but it's going to take months of thearpy to get back to normal.

Thank you for everyone that kepts him in your thoughts and prayers. I really appreciate it guys!

[(S.M.R) 101]

Hey Morgan........... did you happen to see the bully dog facebook page....... just sayin

Maybe you shouldn't have canceled your order for one buddy... just sayin

[0212353]

i barely trust diablo, let alone bullydog.......i'd wait.

[(S.M.R) 101]

I'm not buying until something is actually shipped and hooked up and working on a 2012 ram

[myoung84]

Yeah I saw it but I'd still rather have a Diablo... Maybe one day I'll get to use it...

[(S.M.R) 101]

Yeah I hear ya.. You will be able to use it "Soon"....

[1Tuff6.7]

I don't know much about gassers, but bully dog is the laughing stock of the diesel scene. They're notorious for melting stuff.

[(S.M.R) 101]

How about that XTR Performance Morgan???

What's wrong dude... you don't want a free $3 filter?

[0212353]

lol

[myoung84]

I'm not sure what crawled up his ass. That post wasn't directed towards them in any way, I was just excited that I have a good chance of tuning my truck next week. But if he wants to be like that, fuck him and his free filter!

[myoung84]

I also se that he edited the guys post above mine. Wonder what he posted?

[(S.M.R) 101]

That's what I was saying hahahahaha...... I knew admin or someone else was going to edit that kids post..

That's too funny.. I knew you were not trying to poke at them or anything you were just saying in general and he snapped back at you

[0212353]

just so ya know.......staff doesn't touch vendor sections. ;)

[myoung84]

Anyone know what he said?

[(S.M.R) 101]

Well boys........ I popped the question to emily tonight.... she said yes!

That was nerve racking

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Congrats dude! I thought you were doing it on Christmas?

[(S.M.R) 101]

Eh, I got anxious.

[myoung84]

Congrats Kyle!

[0212353]

LOL - just kidding, congrats!!

[(S.M.R) 101]

Haha thanks jj.

Thank you Morgan.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Congrats buddy.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Thank you Dave

[(S.M.R) 101]

Everybody have a good Christmas?

[ramthis9501]

Eh it was alright. I have seriously went crazy being stuck up in this damn house today! I tried to get out earlier in my truck, but the roads are so bad here, I kinda did a 180 in the middle of the road lol it just slid right around, so I turned around and went home :/

Other then that, it wasn't to bad, I got some pretty cool stuff. Got a mini rc helicopter and it is badass! Steves Wholesale in OKC has them cheap!

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all had a safe and fun day!

[918Dodge]

I'm a little late.. been buy with the holidays. Christmas was good, I was off this year for the first time in several years so that was nice.. also saw my brother for the first time in a year. He doesnt get to come home much since he's in the Army.

Since I'm late... Happy New Years everyone!!! Be safe tonight and hope yall have a great night.

CHEERS TO A GREAT YEAR!! :grd:

[(S.M.R) 101]

Happy new year to you as well buddy!

[myoung84]

Ordered new brakes for the Charger, again. I replaced them about a year ago with Wagner ThermoQuiet Ceramic pads and the squeak horribly in the morning backing out of the garage. They aren't so bad in the summer but now that it's gotten cold, they are getting super loud again. I forgot how bad it was until I drove the car this weekend. So, I finally ordered something different. Went with some Centric StopTech pads that are supposed to be the shit. Let's just hope that they are quiet and don't make too much dust...

I also ordered a set of Gorilla lug nuts which will also double as locks to replace the OEM lugs. The morons at the tire shop insist on using impacts on the lugs and have damaged several of them making them almost impossible to remove. In their defense, I've never really like the lug nuts with the chrome covers, they always get jacked up.

http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Automotive-71644N-System-Thread/dp/B001AS9V8S

[myoung84]

And I finally ordered the $4 in connectors that I needed to install my OEM projectors in the Charger. I bought these back in June then bought the new d2S bulbs and wiring adapter from Jeremy but never got around to ordering the Delphi connectors to complete everything. I never drive the car so these sat in the corner of the garage patiently waiting to be installed. Hopefully these will be in before the weekend so I can do everything at once. The wheels and front facia have to come off to replace the headlights.... How fun....

And now that I own two Diablo Trinity tuners, I am going to upgrade the Charger from the old Predator. Looks like the Charger is going to get some lovin' soon!

[0212353]

sweet man! I was going to ask you about the performance on those lights

[(S.M.R) 101]

Can't wait to see them Morgan..

Post pictures of the output..... Don't forget!

[myoung84]

Will do! JJ, you want some stock charger lights?

[0212353]

possibly.....not sure. I don't have much of a market on 'em.....and from what I've heard the projectors don't fit. D'oh! I'll get back to you on it. :D

[myoung84]

Either way it's cool with me. There's a good chance the Charger won't be around in another 6 months and I don't know if I'll swap the lights out or not. Most likely, they will stay because you have to pull the front fascia to remove them. I'll try to sell to an individual so it would be a nice bonus. I do know that the Magnaflow exhaust will stay on the car too.

[myoung84]

Spent some more money yesterday at Mathis Brothers. I absolutely hated my old matress, which was a 4 year old, high dollar Lady Americana Elite with the giant foam top. It was nice for the first year but the foam got really soft and was not comfortable for me at all. So, went off to Mathis Brothers we went! Didn't want to spend this much, but $3600 later we ended up with a new Serta iComfort Savant gel foam bed with motorized base. They just delivered it a few minutes ago and it's pretty damn awesome! Can't wait to sleep tonight!

http://www.serta.com/icomfort-mattress-sleep-system-by-serta.html#icomfort-models

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Damn...I could have done some cool shit for $3600.

I will never, EVER, have another mattress with a foam top.

[myoung84]

I know, that's exactly what I was thinking as I was swiping my debit card. That would have paid for all the Carli suspension goodies I want, or the majority of a Ripp Supercharger. :D

And I'll never have another foam top mattress either. That was $1200 that I'll never get back. Not like you can really sell a mattress.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Nice dude!

When emily moved in with me full time a few years ago I still had a queen bed and it was about 4 or 5 years old so we went shopping for one.

I paid $2,700 for a king size bed..... Oh, how I love it though!

[myoung84]

I really want a king size but our furniture is queen only... Don't really want to be replacing that...

[0212353]

i bought a sleep number last year, fucking love it. best $$ ever spent on anything, period.

just weird though........there is no "bounce" to the bed. lol

[myoung84]

I looked at the sleep numbers online but haven't actually tried one... I have a year to try this one out and if I don't like it, I can get a full refund or exchange...

[fastnnuffrt]

That's a hell of a warranty

[0212353]

no kiddin'

[myoung84]

That last one was only 6 months. If it was a year trial period, it would have gone back!

[0212353]

Testing out a "tapatalk" type program on windows 8. Kinda nifty!

Ordered a Bullydog from Moes... Tired of waiting on Diablo so when they get off their asses and fix the problem on my truck, I'll give them a try. I bought one of them from Hemifever so I'll get the custom email tuning, but who knows how long that will take.

[0212353]

ouch.......

[myoung84]

Lol. Didn't mean to sound that harsh. :D

Hell yes dude!

[myoung84]

I'm officially tuned! I got my bully dog on Saturday and of course it didn't work. Called them up when I got home from work today and they forced an update on the tuner, which consisted of them taking remote control of my computer and copying some new files to the sd card.

Noticed a nice improvement on the 91 tune, especially in the lower range. We'll see what it does for MPG...

[0212353]

rockin' dude! glad to see that you are tuned!!

[myoung84]

Now if I can just get my Diablo working so I can get hemifever to custom tune me. At least I have something now!

[(S.M.R) 101]

Hell yeah dude! I'm thinking about getting the Bully Dog.

[myoung84]

Thinking about ditching my Randy Ellis light bar and going with some LED light bars behind the grille. Right now with my 4 Hella 500FF lights, I have about 6600 lumens which seems to work pretty well. It won't take much to match that with some LED's...

My only thought on removing the light bar is will it make the truck look naked? I'm staring at the front of Kyle's truck right now I think I like the more plain look a little better...

[(S.M.R) 101]

I'm all about subtle looks brotha........ But your right, The light bar has become a part of your truck.. But I think it would still look good and subtle if you removed it.

[myoung84]

A 30" light bar between the tow hook would be perfect, but that damn winch is in the way. :D

[Matt]

Lumens is a nice number but it's not exactly correct a light bar is WAY brighter than similar round headlight setups but those throw much more light out I'm a big fan of led bars but the lumens thing to me is pretty much a advertising thing... That's not a good indication of light output in real life... To me anyways and I have both setups

[0212353]

I kinda wish I would have kept my dual 7s.....but.....I just don't need it.

Hell, I sold 4 bars this week. :D:D

[myoung84]

I did some measuring today and I could fit about a 10" bar on either side of the grille. Any more than that and it looks like I'll run into clearance issues with the washer fluid and coolant reservoirs. However, it looks like I could fit a 40" in the cutout area on the plastic bumper area. ;)

http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i360/myoung84/DSC00648-1_zps949268d1.jpg

[Matt]

Don't forget to leave room for the mounting brackets makes it more than 40"

[myoung84]

What's the overall width of your 40"? I'd probably have to do some trimming on the plastic but I don't mind that. Only problem with putting it there is it wouldn't be protected at all and it could be very vulnerable to damage offroad.

[myoung84]

I'm a little concerned with putting small ones behind the grille, I think my inserts would block a lot of light. The slats are about a 1/2" wide with a 1/2" space in between. I think I would have to go with a single row light for those.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Is it bad I want one, even though it doesnt work for my trucks look?
