LEDs have come a long way for sure, and all I can say is don't go cheap. There are some pretenders out there given that its a relatively new industry as far as true headlights (not just markers or signal lenses). Also, LEDs don't generate quite as much heat as hid or halogens, but what heat they do make needs managed or it will quickly kill the emitter, driver board, or both. You will want to choose a kit with a decent heatsink, and ensure that it will fit where you are using it (they can be bulky). I understand there are a few halogen retrofit led kits that have been recently approved for legal road use in Europe, but not yet in the US. The brand escapes me but they are one of the higher quality products out there right now, and kinda pricey still. I'm posting from my phone but will try to add some links later from home.

I would like to sign up myself, my dad, and my uncle. I will be using my own pistol, but my dad and uncle would like to use rentals. I'll follow this up with a PM, thanks sir.

No love for the .22 Ruger twins Mark 3 or 22/45. I've actually been eyeballing them myself lately, particularly in stainless.

I'd like to find a deal on a 2TBish 7200rpm external for my Xbox one, no dice yet though. I see a lot of slow entry level drives that are getting bought up but no thanks.

This one's not mine. http://giant.gfycat.com/MajesticPitifulKrill.gif

I thought non-gxp G8s were not LS motors? I'm guessing a gm pickup.

One way uhaul ( drop it off at destination ) is a lot more expensive than using it and returning I believe. Maybe consider that I'd you have a reason to make another trip back for anything. ^^^ Gerg beat me to it

My roku 3 let's me search for and "sling" YouTube videos from my phone once I pair it. I have an s4 fwiw. That said, I ordered the fire stick just to try.... Debating on upgrading to the voice control deal now also. Need to read up on it more but the interface sounds interesting.

if only it were a hard top this would likely be in my garage.

DEF is not worth worrying about. You fill it up about like you do windshield washer fluid, and generally about as frequently. It is chemically injected into the exhaust stream to "clean" the exhaust compounds. DEF is not unique to the ecodiesel at all, and very mainstream at this point. Should not be Mopar specific fluid either. Over the road trucks have been using the technology for years and u can save a few bucks pumping it directly at truck stops, but IMHO just buying smaller jugs at auto zone or Walmart is less hassle. Generally the boxes or jugs you buy include a funnel of some kind, easy peasy.

I too would be interested in a solution similar to this for my parents. They haven't had an issue in a while, but they have a long driveway and a side load garage so there are really no windows that face the driveway. They also live near Pickerington, closer to Canal Winchester though.

If you were buying a truck soon which one would you be interested in?
spankis replied to Got-Boost?'s topic in Passing Lane
Also not sure I'd spring for the Laramie Limited, over the Laramie w/ monotone paint options. I recall my parents considering the laramie limited and even the "longhorn" cowboy tackiness and it didn't seem like a lot of value there. Perhaps save a few bucks. -

I vote for the Dodge, but not with the nasty two tone brown interior pictured above. Go black interior IMO, that's what my dad just bought in his 2014 3500. Looks great. Also, if I recall both the ecodiesel motor and the 8 speed are proven units in other models, just not together. Might take a bit of the"first year " uneasiness away if it were me. -
This is very very cool. I'm a huge classic wagon fan myself and can would likely seek out something similar if I ever buy a classic.

If you're sticking with cheap but good value, I'd upgrade to this one: http://www.amazon.com/Nebo-5569-ProTec-High-Powered-Firearm/dp/B004BNROME/ref=sr_1_47?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1410310714&sr=1-47&keywords=led+%2B+rail CR123 is a better battery, and nebo is at least reputable among cheapies. If you'd like to go spend a little more, this is a good deal: http://www.amazon.com/EXCLUSIVE-Fenix-S2-Flashlight-batteries/dp/B00GY7DKFA/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=1-2&keywords=fenix+%2B+gun Would not be great for a small gun, but includes rechargeables + charger, rail mount, and a pressure switch if preferred. Can also run on CR123 lithium non-rechargeables.

spankis replied to spankis's topic in Other Stuff
You got it. Thanks for your input. Edit: To clarify, for Paul's sake, and for the benefit of assholes the world over - I'm selling the dryer for my parents. They were going to have it hauled away by the delivery guys, but my dad offered it to me over the weekend. Our dryer is fine, so I told him I could sell it for them. I've now hauled it out of the house, taken pictures, and posted it on here, it's worth what I'm asking. -
$125 - MUST BE GONE MONDAY NIGHT Washer took a dump, and the dryer is still in very good shape. New Washer/Dryer pair will be delivered Tuesday afternoon. If it's not gone by Monday night the delivery folks will haul it away for me. It is a Whirlpool Cabrio, an electric model with all the extra steam functions too. It all works well, and is very clean, and it's only 5-6 years old. Enjoy my smartphone photography: http://i.imgur.com/l8QVejCl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/IJUxAWzl.jpg Bigger Image http://i.imgur.com/IJUxAWz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/u4bYrvAl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/z3TeADyl.jpg Also have the old home theater setup, which includes a Sony STR-K660P 5.1 receiver, the matching subwoofer, the remote, and an FM antenna. No surround speakers are included, but any basic bookshelf speakers would do. The receiver is 70w per channel, and will support 6 - 16 ohm speakers. This thing is older and obviously without a ton of inputs but everything still works - it does have optical audio input though. Would make a solid rec room or garage stereo for someone. $50 or best offer More excellent photography: http://i.imgur.com/FPLE4Q0l.jpg Bigger Image http://i.imgur.com/FPLE4Q0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rQ67shgl.jpg Bigger Image http://i.imgur.com/rQ67shg.jpg Both can be picked up near Canal Winchester, off Pickerington Road. Thanks

This is an ugly car I can get behind. To me, its a type of unique and weird that somehow makes it cool in my eyes. My dad had a friend with a Volvo of that same vintage when I was young, and he had swapped a 5.0 and a T5 into it.

I'd like to show up to hang out and donate a few bucks while I'm there, might bring a work car guy along too. Does Brian do diesel trucks, as far as exhaust venting provisions and stuff, or is that a big pain in the ass? My truck has a very clean tune on it but will produce a slight haze.

If we camp it will be at the track. They have trackside camping near the back straight I believe it is. Otherwise we will just drive up from Dublin each morning.

I'm going with a crash test buddy from Honda r&d. I know we are going Saturday and Sunday, debating on camping Saturday night or not.

Allow me to elaborate: 4.0 yes, 4.7 ok, 5.7 yes, 3.7 no, 3.8 no, 3.6 yes
