DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

No more shell! Looks great!

 

Hell yea

 

Looks sweet. are they painting the bumper or are you once you get it back?

 

Our tenant next door has done all my powder so I will have him match it. Bumper has a swingout too, but it didn't make sense to put it on until after powder

 

I noticed the swing out mounting parts. Single? I want to get a dual swing out if I can find one I like the lines of. I'll prob end up with a single for cost...

 

Single. I wanted a table and I don't think the doubles are long enough to have one

 

Truck and I start our road trip tomorrow (in the opposite direction as @ETXTacoma). Like him, I'll be updating my instagram from on the road when I have signal. I'll be in Page, AZ by Friday afternoon, after that I have no idea where I'll end up between then and when the workshop wraps on Wed. https://www.instagram.com/jfischerphotography/

 

Pelfreybilt I'm guessing. Mine has held up great just had to cut it after I trimmed the fenders

 

Ya Pelfrey. I'm going to cut it back from the wheels before powder. I'm planning to add a few things to my bed rack and then have both parts pc in a couple weeks.

 

I'm currently in the market to upgrade my non-JBL Entune system.

Can anyone recommend a good shop and/or installer in the DFW area? Fort Worth side of the metro preferred, but I'm willing to drive to Dallas for the right shop.

I was kinda thinking about the OEM+ Reference system and paying a shop to install it but I'd like to see if a local shop can do something similar for less $$$.

 

I'm in for the trip just depends on the gas situation..if it's running low everywhere then it's a no go especially if it start getting up to $3.50ish

 

Might have to start looking at hybrid builds

 

At least you have a 4 banger. I filled up the truck last night and will be driving my Honda to work the rest of the week. I figure that many of the stations along the freeway will be fine, but I could be wrong. At least I'll have my tent to sleep in if i get stranded in Gilmer.

 

I think that unless the tanker trucks don't make it here, you'll be fine with gas. It's at about 2.29 in Longview right now and we haven't had any runs on gas at any stations. Just normal usage for us.

 

Cool, thanks for the info. I feel like the reports of gas shortages in DFW aren't as widespread as the local news is leading on. Yes many of the QuikTrip's may run out of gas, but that's because they're just keeping the other stores filled. There's a Kroger by my office that ran out of 87 octane yesterday, the older folks at my work started freaking out and talking about bringing gas cans and stashing some at home. I thought they were overreacting. I know gas will probably be more expensive for a little while, but hey, gas was $2.99 a few years ago, so it's still cheaper than that for now.

 

Wow, gas. Never thought about that till I need to fill up this morning. I guess I better get some octane booster in case there's no premium along the way

 

Do you really have to run premium in a 3rd gen?

 

Is that because of the OV Tune? Premium was $2.99 at the 7-11 I filled up at last night. Regular was $2.39

 

Yes, that's right. I just paid 2.89. Such is life

 

There is an 87 tune being released soon. I can always flash back to stock tune if needed
