Oh it sounds phenomenal! I have it hooked up to a HD750/1 JL Amp. I haven't pushed it that hard because I need to break it in, but it sounds awesome so far.

 

Any electricians in the San Mateo area want to wire in a220 breaker for me? In going to run the conduit and wire myself just not confident in my electrical skills. I'll pay in $, beer, welding etc.

 

Picked up some similar aluminum channel at Cardo in Sac yesterday. Super nice guy. Took one look at the pieces and said that I'd only be able to get them from the manufacturer because they're specially made. So I went out and tried to look up any gemtop person on my phone but couldn't find anyone local so I ended up calling someone in Oregon who transferred me to someone in Texas who said that they'd call me back...well the whole 8 foot length of "similar but not quite the same" channel was only $14 so I went ahead and bought it. He was nice enough to cut the piece in half so it fit in the bed of my truck and he took off tax for me, too, so it was $14 even. Really great experience, I highly recommend them!

Sooo now I need to cut and bend four pieces of aluminum channeling...anyone wanna help for beer or moneys? I think bending it involves cutting a slot, bending it to the right degree, then welding it back in place.

 

anyone interested in a OEM roof rack? $150

 

No roof rack, but how did those seat covers work out for you?

 

they fit great man, way cleaner than my seats. thanks again

 

Hey I just picked up a WWII Japanese rifle from my late grandfather, and I am interested in restoring it. Does anyone know of some good shops that specialize in such a thing?

 

Don't those types of things hold more value unrestored?

 

Some test footage i shot with my new Sony AS15, this is me riding from work to home.

good deal! what are you replacing it with?

 

I would leave it alone, it's a piece of history, round be a good idea to have someone check it out for safety cause you do want to shoot it right

 

I got one of the prinsu roof racks, just waiting for a non windy day to paint it

 

Well sorry let me rephrase. I don't want to restore it to use it for actual shooting. My goal is to place it in a case on the wall, but I don't know where to go for cleaning supplies and restoration items to make it look better.

 

oh nice! maybe consider PCing it? I know the other Alex (sytuf510) is having trouble with paint sticking onto the aluminum crossbars

 

I'm just gonna paint the side rails and leave the cross bars bare since I'll probably be sliding the RTT on and off.

 

Anyone? Or any suggestions on who to use?

 

agh good call. Damn man you've done a lot of mods recently. Pricy mods too! haha! Did you find out when your gears are coming in? It looks like we're having a meet on Thursday, maybe have your appt that day and swing by the meet on the way home

 

Haha yea I couldn't pass up the group buy pricing. They were supposed to ship yesterday but they were closed. Hopefully they ship Monday and I should have them by Friday. I would come out to the meet but I work early on Friday.
