    Hey thanks a lot @Justanotherhemi aka Jaime! I haven't been very active on the forum because of my job. I work for MI6 and my cover is a Sumo Wrestler/Porn Star. It all keeps me nimble enough to enjoy my favorite past time hobby, River Dancing. That clogging just gets inside me!

    I've also found some time to do some really cool mods to the Taco lately.

    20180819_204408.jpg

    Here are some switches I "borrowed" [snicker] from MI6.

    One controls the drivers ejector seat, equipped with inflatable bubble protection. It works pretty good but I need to work out some bugs with the roof hinge system.

    The other one is for a complete stealth system used by the Predator in the movie series (which if you can keep a secret is actually a documentary made into a movie to cover up the fact that it's all real, shhhhh).

    It works really well and I use it a lot to mess with the drive through employees at my local Taco Bell. They enjoy it too and they pretend to be really mad.

    Here's a pic showing my allegiance to some of my fellow MI6 mates. Which is how we say it in England. Normally the lists are on microfilm but this is a lot more secure.

    Yea, it's a little dangerous and could compromise our safety but secret agents live a danger filled life every day. :spy:

    Finally, here is the latest pic to date of my truck. I'm prepping to go fight crime and just checking out all my systems. Some people might think those switches are for these light bars but I assure you they are not!

    Anyway, thanks for the kind words and coming over to my introductory thread. It's members like you that make this the best forum on the interwebz!

    Have you torqued the nuts on all these mods down to spec? I would hate for you to loose your nut Hiro.....I mean Rob. Some of the names on that alliegance list are popular here on TW. I am glad you decided to go with the mild Red paint. A secrete agent, a sumo wrestler & a porn star. You are living the life! I am glad you took the chubby ninja assignment when it was offered. I was worried we would have to draw straws. Anyway, welcome & enjoy the site :wave:

    I love the look of the gold wheels OP! Nothing screens “I am a chubby ninja undercover secrete agent that would like to remain unseen” like gold wheels! :D

    Yea, there are a lot of agents on the forum. These are just some of the more lethal ones. This group were all originally trained by Army Special Forces operator, Lyn Cassady, to be psychic spies or Jedi Warriors as we like to refer to ourselves, to develop a range of parapsychological skills including invisibility, remote viewing, and phasing.

    Oh yeah! We torque our nuts regularly. Sometimes another agent from the team will unsuspectedly torque your nuts for you, and other times we will have a meet, eat some Tacos, drink some cervesa and check each others nuts torque specs. Properly torqued nuts are essential.

    Yea, I didn't slip and fall into it, the assignment was more so thrust upon me. I do know you were high on the candidates list though. They don't use use straws anymore, they use the ancient art of ear wiggling. I'm glad it didn't come to that. I've been told you're the ear wiggling master!

    Thanks again Jamie!

    :anonymous: your secret agent friend,
    Hiro Dirk

    Right! It's our calling card. When you see the gold wheels you might as well call the mortician, because your going to wind up nuked!

    Thank you for the warm Tejas welcome!

    This 2019 Voodoo Blue Pro replaces my 2017 Inferno Sport but my desire to be the best TW member I can is still the same.

    Right now I am using it to go to the mall on a weekly basis but as soon as they get some of the roads paved near me where I live in the country I'll be able to get to the Autozone for some cool chrome mods! I'm excited and can't wait for that!!!

    A chrome exhaust tip is a must. Is it on your list of future mods?

    Would it dump into the bed with the cap on trapping all the fumes? If yes the yes!

    I would hate for you to cut a big hole in the truck to have a useless exhaust or intake poking out. Like a snorkel you know?

    Of course! I was thinking it could double as a heater for sleeping back there in the winter. :thumbsup:
    Snorkels are for exploring the deep blue sea, not for vehicles. Now a boat with a snorkel would be supper efficient.
