  1. These always get me, though you have to read it in your mind with the right voice. http://i.imgur.com/So4Vv2A.png
  2. I called pretty much everybody in this thread, and ended up with Dozzer. Dropping the truck off Monday afternoon . Thanks for all the help!

    Backpack

    This would work great in the shower. It would hold all my soaps, shampoos, and loofas too :thumbup:.
  4. Shows a column shifted Auto in the picture bud. GM trucks also came in a manual as well, but most all of them you find will be paired with the 4.8 V8, which is not a ton of fun. If I remember correctly Dodge only put the manual behind the 4.7 V8 as well, not the hemi. You will be hard pressed to find one in a truck with many options in it... Unless you go diesel
  5. Thanks everybody. I had no idea there were so many options nearby.
  6. Just heard on the news that there were contractors working on the roof, and while cutting through the roof decking the insulation below caught fire.
  7. He gave me a good price, and I may want to discuss a few other things with him. Truck has already been EfiLive-d though, that was done before I was aware of Toops. I'll call em thanks. Thanks!
  8. Called them as well. Guy was helpful, but was clearly not excited to install somebody else's parts. It would seem he quoted the work accordingly.
  9. Called them and seemed knowledgeable, but like twice the cost I've been hearing! Called and talked to Herb, great guy very helpful. It sounds like they're backed up 2 weeks or more though. Good price though we'll see. Thanks for both suggestions guys.
  10. I've decided I'm not man enough to pull the trans on my truck in my garage. So I'm calling around to get quotes. So far I've called Rushman Auto Trans, Danny Toops, Firepunk Diesel, and I emailed IPS for a quote since I ordered if from them. I need a dual disc installed, and it includes a replacement single mass flywheel and upgraded hydraulics. Any other suggestions on local shops worth calling? Thanks
  11. This is pretty neat. I hope the hybrid synergy drive equipment is easily delete-able too, but if memory serves me the Prius equipment is pretty integral to the engine/trans right? It would make a lot more sense if they could use individual wheel motors on this, or something more remote from the gas engine itself. In reality the hybrid stuff is probably going to be viewed about like the skip-shift shifters that everyone deletes from their Vettes and GT-500s. It's only on the car to avoid the gas guzzler tax, and is quickly removed by the buyer at home.
  12. For 2 dogs, and other stuff, you will LOVE a megacab.

  13. Very cool, that's a car I'd like to have. Almost exactly.
  14. Did you turbo the blue one you had, or you bought a newer one that is turbo? I'm assuming the latter.
  15. And in honor of Mitch Hedberg's death http://i.imgur.com/PZyynra.jpg
  16. It's like a 40-minute long rope-a-dope setup - "they'll never see it coming from out here" lol. Also, I watched the game at a friend's house, and when the 3 went in we all yelled loud enough to scare his great dane hauling ass out of the room. It nearly died I think.
  17. Radio traffic girl said accident.
  18.

  19. Pelican is very good stuff, but Nanuk is high quality and very comparable also. I use a bright orange Nanuk case to take my DSLR in the kayak without fear.
  20. It's dwelling on shit like this, rather than an objective view of the game as a whole, that separates decent broadcasters on television from former athletes that are put in front of the cameras. Charles Barkley on the whole is turrible. In more relavant news, HOLY CRAFT as well. I like how he waved off Thomas just seconds before taking the shot, kinda like 'I got this DT'.
  21. Another vote for Andy. He's done both mine and my father's cars and his work is always impressive.
  22. Very shitty. Looks a whole lot like my truck too. I will keep an eye out.
  23. It would appear you have this very well under control, but I must ask why not just a 4BT? Is the goal just mileage while still looking sweet or what? Very cool in its current state regardless, just wondering.
