And now i'm in trouble

[jettajam1]

Just want to say thanks to everyone for all of the invaluable information I've obtained on this site.....you're all very knowledgable and a great group of individuals.

But now I have this problem; see it started with putting a shorty antenna on my truck and then some new floor mats......Now I'm outta control. All I think about is what to do next. I've done a Bakflip Vp, Bedrug, S&B CAI, Mufflex 24, Moe's 5 inch exhaust tips, Diablo i2 with a 91 custom by Hemifever. Changed just about every type of fluid and filter to what you guys are recommeding (Like Redline and Royal Purple).

My garage is filling up with boxes of Kicker speakers, Jet 180 tstat, Mag-Hytec diff cover, more RP gear oil, new tools to the work (I'm lacking a bit in that department). Every Saturday is spent working on the rig, and I'm having the time of my life. The truck is soooo much more fun to drive these days.

Anyway, long post here, but I just wanted to say thanks to all.

Welcome to the club. It's hard to stop once you get started.

Welcome to the family.

That's how it always starts. Antenna and floor mats, gateway mods.

First step to overcoming any addiction is to realize you have a problem.

Though this forum is probably not the place.
Like a drunk, telling his fellow bar mates, he thinks he may a drinking problem.

LOL ! Yep its hard to stop !
I've overcome a lot in my time , I quit drinking whiskey in my 20s , I quit chewing tobacco in my early 30s , I kicked out my first wife in my mid 30s , found a better one in my late 30s , overcome sure to be diabetic in my early 40's , but now solidly in my 40's I JUST CAN'T STOP MODDING THIS DAMN TRUCK !

Wow, I missed the memo on this. It's the other way around for me.

Ain't that the truth..

I ordered up one of Stacy Davids build books and have printed out all the cutsheets (part description and price and source) and have been compiling all of them designing and planning all that I want to do to this truck....

Its an Addiction!!!!!!

What's this book you speak of Sir ?

I have a few that I can post, but haven't got to many. That'll change though, as pics really help tell the story.

I grew up in the 70s and 80s.....I should've know about the gateway effect

Project Planning Book – Stacey David Gearz

Its quite helpful if you ask me in planning a extensive build and budget for a vehicle.. Its more tailored to a classic restoration but still works with anything. Its the basis I use when building anything of mine or for someone else.
Helps make a plan and can figure cost and impact of changes and if parts are compatible etc etc...
Just a very helpful tool

One of these days I'll copy all the info and sketches I have put in the book of air dam, brake duct inlets, badges, parts and stuff and post a pdf on the forum.

 

[R.L.K.]

Nice , thank you sir !

 

[atc06jh]

I'm fighting getting in trouble myself. I'm supposed to be saving for a honeymoon/wedding/house later this year but I want truck stuff!!!!! A tuner and exhaust mostly.

 

[R.L.K.]

Man's gotta have his priorities straight ..... Ditch the chic and have an awesome truck !

If it wasn't for my wife keeping me "under control", I probably would be in big trouble. Happy wife, happy life (or so they tell me).
