Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

Sounds like you miaz well replace bearing while youz in there.

 

Hey guys, I haven't been real active lately. I hope to make the next meetup though.

Im pretty tired of bearings....

Heys everybody!

What all is new, other than the snake hunting?

 

2012 Stella 5000SW spooled with 30lb power pro braid.
7' MH Tidemaster by St. Croix.


Looking for $500 for the rod and reel. Have 900 in it. Stella was $750.

Got 2 containers full of gulps I'll send with it

Will trade for a set of new OME Dakar springs.

 

Damn bumper still taint done! just sitting there, at least they got the corrosion resistant spray on the steel i guess...wont be able to pick up until Monday, so i guess maybe i'll stop by next Friday!

Joben, take your truck and i'll bring mines too, we can scare all da Japanese peoples!

 

Anyone running an ultraguage? Curious to see what they think about it and whether it was worth the money. Love the idea of real time MPG and trip MPG amongst other things.

 

Pm bandit, hes running one and loves it

 

i got one. i use it for correct speed mph and engine coolant and mpg's

only issue i had with mine is that hte caseing broke spilit in two. i just superglued it back together

 

I like mine. Only has 3 buttons so setup and stuff is simple but can take a lot of button mashing. Other than that, more than worth the $70-$80.

If you're not in a hurry, wait a bit for a sale. They have one pretty often. Also, why not email them to see about setting up a group by at TW (I think the company owner has an account here if im not mistaken). That's where I got mine a year ago.

 

I BET!!! We were just talking about that weekend. FUK!!!!!

How's business!!! Keeping you busy?

Dig mine.... and the backlight can be customized! I have mine mounted to the headliner. Clears codes too!

Was "sick" today... finally got the sliders finished.... ground down to metal, 2 coats of primer.. 4 black. It was dark when I finished so no pics on.

 

Thank you all for the input on the Ultragauge. I really think I am going to pick one up on payday. If I had the time to do so, I would definitely set up a group buy, but at the time I don't have the time to set up a group buy. It looks like a cheap and easy mod to keep track of everything though. I also really do like all the warnings it gives out too.

 

You could also pick up the scangauge 2 at VatoZone for around $160 and have the ability to clear check engine codes...can the ultragauge do that?(that was a serious question) I do enjoy the scangauge very much!

Or, you could buy an obd2 Bluetooth connection and run a scan app from you phone/tablet.

There is a lot of cool stuff out there if you look hard/long enough!

Attached is a screen shot of the scan app

 

Damn, I really like the install where it's located under the vent. Is that using the velcro?

Ill see what it would take to set up a group buy, never done one before. Prolly just going to have to get some information from the guy who previously did it.
