ffirg's 02 DC Build

I think i'll gamble that $300 bucks on me fabbin up a rear bumper. hahaha!!!

 

I've only gambled here and there, mostly pool games and a handful of times at a table but I can tell ya that they pretty much all ended bad and the rest were breaking even. You'll probably have better luck though

Make sure you stick to that bolded part of the quote lol, ask me how I know

 

Haha yeah. I honestly probably won't do any at all. I don't really have 300 to spare lol.

 

trust me Mike i know, i am stingy with money too!!!! i save as much as i can to where i can get things for the truck. like u said stck to the bolded part u posted. i have to ask though how do u know?

 

i lost some $ to a friend in a game of pool (well it turned into a few games of double or nothing) but as soon as I got home I laid on my bed and went "fuck... there goes mod money"

 

Retros FTW! Still want to do the FXRs eventually. That will be another winter project for me one of these days. In the meantime, I had to take a pic of this as it was super foggy tonight. Wish I had a better camera because the projector cutoff looked so cool in the fog.

 

Hey man did you just use 3M tape or something to mount your ultraguage?

 

Yeah it's scotch brand Velcro. Made by 3M, but yeah.



I also used this for mounting my ballasts and morimoto control box...thing. Lol.

 

Lol thanks

 

So I've been driving around town with the amber lenses on my D2s for two nights and have not been flashed yet. I haven't passed a cop having a bad day yet though. That will be the true test. But looking at them, they really aren't bad with the lenses on. PnP HID kits are way more blinding than the D2s.

 

Mike, great thread! Interested in seeing what tires you end up going with. We get a bunch of snow here in Edmonton and I liked the Duractracs so much that I put a set on the wife's jeep as well.

I'm in the sames spot as you, internal debate as to whether I should take my sway bar off (did it once) permanently or leave it on.

 

Thanks man. Tires...haha ohhhhh tires. I'm pretty sure I'll end up with duratracs. But it won't be for a while. I'm going to wait until these wear out first. Which will probably be two years I bet. We'll see. I just put a deposit down on a bumper so that's where my mod money is at the moment.

I was under the truck yesterday debating on taking the sway bar off. Then I realized it was 15 degrees out and the sudden motivation to do it vanished haha. One of these days I will.

 

*chanting*
Dura-tracs, Dura-tracs, Dura-tracs, Dura-tracs

 

Cut sidewall, cut sidewall!

 

I want to know how the sidewalls on my current tires compare to the duratracs. I remember thinking the duratracs felt really soft and thin. But I can't remember what mine are I like. Haven't had them off the wheel in a while.

But if they are similar to my current tires, I'll be happy. I won't be driving in anything that would slice the sidewall. Or at least I'd like to think that haha.

 

Well when I got in my truck to leave work today, I had an "error-10" pop up on my stereo. Turns out that means the bluetooth module went out. Which in turn probably means I'm screwed seeing as how it wasn't bought through an authorized seller.

 

Hmm I keep having an alarm go off (for the past 3-4 days) with my Ultragauge, I just brush it off since I know it isn't important but I should probably look it up

 

So I'm thinking if it ain't through a dealer installing it then u might be screwed. Got a questioned though. Can u wire in backup cameras to them stereos or not. Some people say u can others not. But I think my camera went out on me. Can u belive that. Was so easy hooking up trailers. Haha! By the way so we getting us a front bumper man? Can't wait to see it installed. U better post pics of it.

 

probably your empty tank alarm. You can reset it if you go into the menus, or if you hold the button on the upper right down for like 5 seconds it will reset it that way too. Or maybe RPM alarm? I know mine was set kind of low so I bumped it to 4500. I've only heard it once...ha. That was from listening to music too loud while going up a very large hill while pulling a 4 wheeler.

There is a firmware update that came out in august. I'll try that and see if it fixes it first. Yeah I think you can hook up a camera to it. I'm pretty sure you can with mine anyway.

And you better believe I will be posting pics of the bumper haha. I'm super excited. I saw you'll be getting one too. It's the cool thing to do these days apparently haha.

 

What kind of alarm is going off Mark? Mine is the fuel gage that keeps going off and I an it even close to being empty. Every time I fill up from a half of tank or so I have to reset it or the alarm keeps on chirping more and more.i though when u fill up it resets itself. Apparently not cause I have to keep setting it. Guess I need to read up on that.
