New England B.S. Thread

Did they give you a reject? Alot of the guys have aftermarket exhaust and I had one on my last truck without an issue. Did the shop say that was why or was it to do with your truck coming from Hawaii and not being Mass. compliant

 

Is everyone all set for storm? I just have to check my gutters then done and ready

 

Check your gutters? You just had surgery. Get somebody else to do it! Whatever you do don't hurt yourself.

 

Somebody just having a bad day and needing his Midol. Just take it to some other place. You should be fine with a aftermarket exhaust in Mass, plenty of people have them. Oh and BTW welcome to NE. The weather is not nearly as nice as Hawaii but NE is a nice place to live.

 

Thanks! And actually it's the same footprint as my previous Pioneer HU. I had to cut out the old wiring harness and replace it with the new one. Apparently there is a difference between just audio HU's and AV HU's, but only about 30 mins of cutting and splicing to get the new connectors in.

No controls were lost

 

Went to Henniker today with Sarah, Billy (Qjake) and his nephew.

Found some new trails and had an awesome time! Didn't get back to the asphalt until after the sun went down. Did over 30 miles off road

 

Spent today expanding the doorway and door on my new shed..the original one won't fit my tractor. Tomorrow will be spent cleaning up the yard (patio set and grills) and cleaning the gutters...hopefully in time for the Patriots.

 

Ya thanks my buddy offered but I will have the girls throw up the ladder and I figure if I use my right knee instead of foot maybe I can get up there to look. I hate to ask for anything especially for him to get on my roof

 

Oh ya I hope the Doc is around on Tues so cast can come off

 

One shop said they wouldn't pass my dad's unless he put a silencer on it (just a magnaflow muffler) so he took it to the shop where i got my truck passed. If you feel like coming down to Westfield let me know

 

Did that yesterday. Moved everything inside that could be turned into a projectile, cleaned out my gutters, got the generator out and by the garage door, gave the generator a test run, picked up another propane cylinder to run it, and re-wired my boiler so it has a plug so it can be unplugged from the circuit breaker and plugged into the generator.

Billy, don't hurt yourself with the gutters. If you need help, let me know!

 

Thanks for the offer Mike. I am good checked the back this am all clear. I dont worry about the front they only need cleaning once in the spring

 

yeah they said that the exhaust was to loud and you cant have after market exhaust. I guess you cant have 40 series flowmaster. I even took out my HID to better pass so now Im trying to find a stock one to throw on there anyone have one laying around?

 

Busy day today. Installed a new pump in our driveway drain, cleaned the garage, cleaned out the gutters, couldn't get back down from the roof when it started raining so I almost slid to my demise.... Put up shelving for my Dad's fiancé, stocked up with 40 gallons of gas in the shed.... All sorts of fun!

 

hope it misses us completely, NY can get a double-dicking though!

 

Honestly, it's most likely due to the out of state plates. When I first moved to VA, I had NY plates and it was the worst inspection I ever went through (and again when I moved from VA to MA). After I made it through the first inspection, I never had a problem and I had (and have) a lot of 'questionable' items on my truck. The notion that you can't have an aftermarket exhaust is complete BS and complete untrue. There's no way for him to tell that your exhaust is illegal without a decible meter. Did they give you a red tag, or just turn you away?

Do us all a favor and leave the HID's out or retrofit with projectors. Otherwise, all you're doing is blinding everyone else...

 

Exactly, I hope NY gets pounded hard! I love this storm though. School was canceled tomorrow and most likely Tuesday too

 

A few videos from yesterday, more to come!

I didnt have out of state tags on it. it has mass tags on it its all fixed now went and made a stock exhaust and have it dumping out before the axle

 

I'd prefer no one gets pounded by the storm... I've got a lot of family and friends right where the storm is supposed to make landfall.

Damn, sounds like you got someone having a bad day!
