New Mexico Owners BS Thread

haha damn i would've taken off the tail gate but once we dropped the gate down rocks filled up every crack or open space between the gate and my truck so opening and closing was impossible haha

 

hey guys i finally made the switch from CT to here. you'll see me somewhere, just look for the magnetic gray, that sounds like a rice rocket till it warms up. i know taco505 and ive seen lots of your trucks around.

 

hey man whats up? havent seen you around lately. but finally got smart and came over to TW haha jk.

but did you finally get an exhast on there?

 

not yet, im going to do straight piping i think, as of right now i just too off my exhaust after the cat, but it resonates way too much in the cab

hey man dont feel too bad about getting smoked by ramone, he smoked the shit out of me from the forty at carlisle to central

 

oh one more thing, can someone help me do a bhlm, i dont want to fuck it up.

 

haha straight piping how you gonna pass emissions?? but ya pertty damn fast truck id like to race you some time i think that would be a good match haha.

but the bhlm hmm im not sure if anyone of the guys here has done it, but my buddies brother did it to his truck but he lives in el paso haha

 

well the dude i talked to at an emissions place said it didnt matter if you had a muffler or not. the only thing that registers to them is the o2 sensors, and the cat. ive still got the cat find me! ive been trying to find you since i took the damn thing off!

 

no way? thats pretty sick man how does it sound out side of the truck??

but ya no shit man i saw you the other day on university and lomas goin the other way but that was the last time haha

 

haha. it's all in good fun. I'm always beatin cars that don't expect me to beat them and get pissed once I do and I just do it for fun and so do they but they are bad sports and hate losing.... lol and yeah I see you every once in a while on university as well. I live right by the university so it's common to see me on that street and my girl lives off of university and indian school. So i'm pretty much always on university. I got the same black headlight projectors you do I think.... lol. I'm gonna retrofit a better projector in there though. My HIDs are suffering so bad with these HL.... My fogs are doing just fine without a projector though.

 

Shout out from S-Fe!!

 

The only issue you might run into is smog test. The good thing is though since your vehicle is pretty much new I don't think yours will require it. You can skip smog test for two registration periods..... or 4 years. Might wanna check on it though. I can't quite remember..... what is tested is the smog (sniffer) and the efficiency of your catalytic converter (o2 sensor reading).... the only issue you may run into is not the smog since it will be so close to the beginning of the exhaust. The muffler helps in making the exhaust a bit more quite but also helps in reducing smog. Another thing pinky is you should go check out route 66 off of central and san mateo. They do sick work! I used to work right across the street from there at firestone and heard this guy roll up in a v6 ranger.... I asked that guy if he had an V8.... It was a dual exhaust too..... I was surprised by how mean it sounded.....

If you two ever wanna run em let me know! I'll be the camera truck.

I'm just lucky I don't have to worry about emissions. lol. My truck is registered in Carlsbad, Nm. I knew that shitty little town was good for something!

Forgot to add these. I couldn't find a better place than here. I made them a while back with some buddies of mine. I did all the editing and shooting for the most part.

ya but you know my issues with getting exhaust im just wondering if it will sound good. i was looking at some mufflers but still dont know what i want, i like alex's truck but hes got the dt headers too. im stuck on glasspack right now, but i want a permanent glasspack, did i ask you if you knew of any companies that made one? i want that little bit of back pressure, but goddamn my gas mileage went up about 2-3 mpgs. hahaha. i gues thats one thing i have on you is my mileage. I have to get my truck smogged every two years since i bought it in cali. i dont get to wait a few years, i had to get it smogged when i moved here which was two months after i got my truck (rediculous? yes)

 

hell ya thats where i got my exhaust done they are awesome over there i have heard from alot of people they are one of the best and if not the best in the state for exhaust work. alot of people are confused by my truck they think its the v6 and when i tell them its a 4 banger they are like uhhh?? really haha. i know andrew (pinky) knows what it sounds like and i bet you do too roller or well maybe not since your always a mile ahead of me haha.

ya roller i know what you mean the stock lights in the projector headlight effin blow i could never see ish, and one just went out after having them for 4 months but i put in some 55w sylvains or how every you spell it, seems alot better.

o ya awesome vidoes man i like em

 

hey welcom man! and wtf do you really have a sunroof?? i want one haha

 

Ha... that sucks man. I'm averaging about 20 mpg but that is with me mashing the pedal pretty much 80% of the tank. Lol. So I think if I baby it I could get about 400+ out of a tank easily. So it's not a huge difference! I'm about to increase my HP a lot!!! lol. I'm putting in headers next weekend and you know what.... that improves my gas mileage as well! Everyone that has put on headers has put on there headers on this truck has increased about 2-3 mpg. YAY!!! haha. So i'm getting closer to you.... creepin... slowly.... BTW.... if you want a muffler. I'll sell you my magnaflow one. I'm thinking about just welding a pipe in the middle and ridding myself of the muffler. Plus i'm gonna port my headers which from what I heard rids of the rasp!

I have a 55w slim ballast with a 12k bulb for the headlights and a 35w slim ballast with a 3k bulb for the fog lights. I was extremely satisfied with how they looked with just the regular headlights but I wanted projectors and sold my stockers..... Bad Idea.... Oh well i'll just make bad into good and get some retro fits from retrofit.com and make those amazing projectors fit into mine and have a completely custom set up! I love my set up now but the HID headlights are suffering bad. I'm just glad I have HIDs in my fogs because I wouldn't be able to see sh*t without them. lol. My fog lights light up way better than these cheap ass projectors do....

 

Pics or bluff!

 

haha ya no shit i call bluff, but if im wrong thats bad ass.

o ya have you guys heard about our little meet and greet coming up on the 16th?? you guys should try and make it up and check out the other guys trucks.
