Hey Connecticut!

Damn. Didn't even think of that. Good thinking. Thanks for the heads up!

And good morning and happy Friday eve everyone.

 

Sooo basically yaaa.

 

Noice!!!!!! What are you going to do to them? Same type of "treatment" like you did to your bumper?

 

You can find them all over eBay for less than $10. For me, I never use the radio and the regular antenna hits the garage on the way in/out. This solved both problems

 

Like Matt said its a good aesthetic upgrade that is really cheap. Just be aware that it's not a good choice if you want to still use your am/fm radio because the reception is mediocre at best on a good day. I also have one but don't use my fm radio much so I like it. Kind of ironic tho that I replaced the old antenna with a stubby and then put a 3' cb antenna right next to it

 

yea i use my FM constantly so it sounds like this would be a let down for me. I like things like that that make the truck look unique but if its useless then nevermind.

 

Thinking about this... anyone have any input?

Love the style of the turn down exhaust. no more exhaust pipe sticking out the back looking ugly. but everyone complains about the noise and the "drone" so for only $90 more MBRP customer service says the resonator will fix the drone. and this stainless exhaust, even with the resonator, is cheaper than anything else stainless on the market.

 

Happy Friday! (Finally)... @Cativelense - what are you going to get for your truck today???

 

Good morning everyone! Happy Friday at last!!!!!

Not getting anything... as of right now. But things can always change very quickly!

 

They make some that are a compromise between looks and performance that you may still be interested in. I think they make one that's 18 inches tall or so that works better than the stubby

 

I picked up some alloy rims from Cativelense last Sunday , the price was great for me and I see that he purchased his new tires to go with his new rims so it seems that everyone made out well. Nuno indicated he would keep me informed as to the Fluid Film respray gathering and other things going on . It was good to meet up with him checked out some of his mods ---- gave me an ides or two as to which direction in the future.

Hope to meet more of you going forward see you on the road and get those trucks dirty'

When doing electrical work don't let the smoke out of the wires because if you do the wires wont work.

Don't overlook the obvious

 

+1 for FluidFilm meet

 

Haha yaa I had that happen to me when I was wiring my first c/b.... it wasn't funn.

 

ARB bumper on its way!

And I'm still alive to tell about it...

 

Nice that's awesome I kinda like those, not sure if it was just a 3rd gen thing but it had some fogs that were like part of the bumper almost looked factory kind of like this

 

i love that new hybrid bumper, that just fits in the black part under the grille, still has all of the nice toy mounting features without all the bulk and weight of a full bumper. i forget who makes it tho.

 

Speaking of bumpers, anyone have any opinions on a good plate rear bumper that i can use my stock tow hitch and would look good color matched to the truck??

 

There's not many that work with the stock receiver. I have an Iron Cross that does. Cut out the tacky logos and replaced them with LED pods. Fab Fours also has one.

 

I went with the pelfreybilt front and rear and I love em the rear doesn't work with the stock receiver but it comes structurally fabbed with a receiver, idk if I would be towing a 30' camper with it but I feel more than comfortable towing my 17' fishing boat with it. Hope that helps but honestly I love mine so much I take any chance I get to talk that company up
