    I played a first person shooter on a TV that big at my cousin's house and it was freakin awesome!
    You mean those ones that you just had powder coated purple last year? :rolleyes:

    Also, no way I would buy a remote resi shock that cheap from a no-name company. Just asking for problems and you could be replacing them in a year again.

    Lol. When I was in Seattle we watched a Seahawks game on my cousin's projection TV with a ginormous screen. Coupled with his surround sound system it was like being on the field.

    My Eibach's are awesome, it's just the Billies are high mileage, and because of the unfinished aluminum on them, they look like absolute ass

    Encountered a DB in a jacked up F-350 driving with a 22" bar on. It blinded me, and I'm lifted. I pity those in sedans.

    I wish I had my 42" on my roof, I would have returned fire

    Right after college my buddy brought his DLP projector to my Mom's house. We had the equivalent of a 96" screen and I hooked up my THX surround system and played some xbox. We had Fight Night Round 3 and the boxers were life sized. Playing Forza was like playing a legit real sized simulator.

    I've got a 42" now, I might be able to fit a 46" in there with the smaller frames, which I think would be about the right size for the room.

    My friend (same one with the projector) has something like a high 60, low 70 in his house and it's ridiculous. He has it in the weird full focus mode that makes everything look like a soap opera. I guess it's great for gaming, but I don't like how it looks on regular TV.

    Go ome shocks. Mine are from 09 and I beat them pretty good. Still ride awesome. Who cares what they look like, if you worried about that put a neoprene condom on them:D. Keeps salt off them.

    If they still function well, just hit them with some sand paper and clear coat them. They'll look like new for about $20. Just me but I wouldn't buy those shocks you posted up. If you want something new or better, I'd save up for something worth buying. Fox has pretty reasonable pricing on their factory stuff.
    What happened to your 42" bar? I can't imagine driving with something like that on with traffic. The light just scatters everywhere.

    On a related note, last year I wanted to compare my PIAA lights to your 42" bar for comparison purposes. I now have a 32" bar so I can speak to the differences. The 32" bar is bright as all hell, but seems to scatter the light a lot more than the PIAAs. I think for foul weather driving, I'd actually prefer the PIAA lights because they're more focused but for back road driving, it's like driving with the sun at your back with the light bar. You see everything from shoulder to shoulder for a ways out in front of you, even stuff lurking in the trees above you.

    We'll see what Uncle Sam gives me back.

    And I took it off because it was rattling a lot. A metal fab company was going to be making mounts "to be released in 3 weeks" about 3 months ago, so it's just sitting on my shelf collecting dust til I get the mounts.

    Yep jealous too. Probably have burned 60 gallons of heating oil already. Friggin' furnace runs every 5 minutes in this kind of cold.

    I've probably burned 2/3 or 3/4 of a cord already this season, but that only works out to about $50. Beats the hell out of K1 at $3.30 a gallon.




    Alex (and anyone else with a .308); Midway USA is running a clearance right now and they've got some .308 on sale for something like $16 a box. Noticed some 00 buck for about $3 a box, too, if anybody's interested. Name brand stuff, like Remington and Winchester, not junk you've never heard of or Reman'd stuff.

    They won't ship to MA. Virtually nobody will due to douchy AG here. Even though it's not illegal the AG is a tard, so no one wants to deal with them
