Nope, I don't need a reason anymore. However, when I was married, I would just always told her that she was the reason.

Now if they went back to putting STOCK CARS out there and seing what happens then I would be more interested. Exactly. I'm not saying go way back in the day to drive your regular street car, but actually run a hopped up "Stock Car"-Like during Richard Petty's time. The cars running today on the tra...

I actually like watching NASCAR. It gives me another reason to drink cold ones with the guys.

Is this Jet Perf. 180° stat so great, that I should just go & order one? :? :shrug: As I stated, I had never had a problem except for low coolant two times in 5yrs. I found that the Mr. Gasket thermostat on Advance Auto's website is available in both 160° and 180°, but unsure if it will fit our truc...

Even though I have enough parts laying at my house that still need to be put on the truck, I have a ???? :?: I was planning to do the whole oil change, (oil, filter, clean the K&N/MAF, lube, change out frozen brake caliper slide pins) this weekend while I'm home. And while I was at those items, I wa...

Hello and welcome to the site. The Z looks pretty swweeeettt, and any S-10 is welcome.

rlrnr53-You are correct in that you can't have 100 mph tape to simply cover holes in the body, but as 04crewvt stated making a form and filling it with foam, which is what I have seen some people do here in WV. Just make the form, fill it with something like the expandable insulating foam, let stand...

I can picture it now Killian96SS.

I remember following my brother when he was driving our '72 Chevelle over to get paintedback in 1990. Looked probably about the same--except we had already removed both bumpers, grill, etc, and all the lights were just dangling around.

Well, as I said, I wasn't 100% sure. I thought some of my buddies just had to have insurance. Wow--The 2nd Mrs. Hoff is from way down south WV near where my 1st and recent ex's grew up, Beckley, WV. Basturd child... :lol: :lol: ...I thought that was my parent's nickname for me growing up.... :lol: :...

That kinda sounds like the WV inspection laws. At least it is not OH laws, I don't even think they have inspections, but I'm not 100% sure. I've seen cars driven on the highways over there without any hoods, fenders, etc.

WVHogRider

Thanks HJ. I made a print out for myself just to have a reference for when it comes time, as I'm in Lousianna again. So my new rims may be sitting at my house right now, and I can't even mount them to check to see if I need to cut.

WVHogRider

Well, I could have used any one of those states, (and really thought about using yours just to kid w/ya), for the chrome statement, but I figured--If I can't joke about myself, don't joke. Plus, I'm use to it---Got friends all over that give me the WV jokes from time to time.

WVHogRider

Glad you got it fixed. :thumb: definitley keep the JB WEld on hand. I keep one in the truck and one in the house tool kit. I'm in the Hazardous Waste field. I use to have to use the JB about every month or so to fix leaky drums out on the job sites when I use to do pick ups. I also used it to fix a ...

The first mod I did was the Line-X in the bed, and had always thought about doing the rockers since doing the bed. It should blend in pretty nice since the truck is black. Depending on how the new wheels fit once I get them, I may have to be the guinea pig. :( Plus, I had also been looking for the M...

I think they were both the top pins, but not exactly sure now that I think about it, as I was slightly distracted from time to time. I had my 5yr old daughter over at my parent's house playing with my 6yr neice & 9yr old nephew. All three like to gang up on me--You know--try to wrestle me down-Shoot...

Your sporty looks good Quickbiker. :thumb: I see a few mods on it that I may try/do. I couldn't find any matches HJ, but I got a lighter. I'm still looking for some det. cord and the leftover C4 from last 4th of July. :lol: J/K I don't know what it is. I spent all that $$$ on new rims, step bars, ta...

Those pins are a PITB. I just replaced the pads at all four corners with the life time replacement ceramic pads from Autozone. Lubed all pins except the two that were stuck on the rear. One on each rear. I couldn't budge them. So I'll have my buddy, the dealership's finance manager, pick up my truck...

Using Verizon with a Nokia 6015 phone. It's a year or two old, but can't complain about not having a camera on it or anything. Company pays for it, so I'm not going to complain.

I've got a 2000 Harley Sportster 883 with the 1200+ conversion engine kit, Arlen Ness Big Sucker K&N air filter, Bossani chopper exhaust, 10" rear short shocks, forward controls, laydown license plate, along with some other misc. additions/chrome. I'll try to post some pics. once I figure out my cam...

I'll guess around $1750. My first dent was dropping my cousin's Polaris 500 4x4 quad on my tailgate with me still trying to ride it into the bed. The hooks gave out on the tailgate ramp, while I was trying to get the front wheels up on the fender wells in the bed, causing the ramp to fly out from un...

Just got off the phone with Centerline. They will sell the wheels directly to me, as all the dealers near me quit carrying them. Will order them next week once I'm back in town.

But I don't care!!!!!!!!

WVHogRider

Most likely BFG's

But thinking MT's not AT's. Or the Wrangler MT/R's.

WVHogRider

I also see your point, but I'm ridin on 0 tread up front, and 1/16 tread out back. No choice but to buy tires.

The fronts are actually starting to resemble NASCAR tires, with a couple blister spots as well. Plus I don't really want to go too much bigger than the 30x9.5s anyway.

WVHogRider

Hold off on the step/nerf bars until you make up your mind on a BL. You don't want to raise them if, you do decide on a BL. Why not? :? I see your point f9k9, but I might as well go ahead and install the step bars. It could be a month or it could be a year or so before I actually get around to doin...

EWWW!!!! EWWW!!!! EWWW!!!! A great tip I got for cleaning the carpet. Use a stiff bristled brush, (one like you use to clean your tires), on the carpet while you shop-vac up all the dirt/rocks. Get all the big stuff first with the shop vac. Then go back over the carpet with the brush and shop vac. I...

If you really want you truck to shine. Look into getting some Detailing Clay. Several companies make a kit. Just use after you wash your truck and before you wax. I've used it, and love it. http://www.automagic.biz/specialt.htm It pulls all the paint contaminates off the paint before you wax. And it...

F9K9: :lol: :lol: The bigger harleys cost that much new or you can put that much into a sportster, or any scoot for that matter, with the run of the mill parts that everyone else bought from HD. But just like with our trucks-Take your time, figure out how you want it to look, and see how others have...

I beg to differ with you about the Sportster remark for $8k. You can have a fantastic one of a kind Sportster for ~$8K. I got a 2000 Sportster XLH-Bought the 883, ($6,200 new), then the 1200+cc engine upgrade for ~$800, and I currently have lowering shocks, Bassani chopper exhaust, and custom intake...

Killian96ss, I just wanted to thank you for all of the helpful tips on the brake topic(s). Around 45,000 miles, my truck failed the state inspection due to the brake pads, (front DS front inside pad and the PS inside rear pad) being worn. (Living in the mountains of WV and having a heavy right foot ...

:twisted:So, I guess I'm at the limit of the truck's TB system for now, unless I feel like really testing the water. :angel: Anyway, Thanks Walt. Did you, or anyone else on the forum, just replace the boot or the whole assembly? I found both the replacement boots and assemblies. However, most were j...

So, when I did my TB crank, I was only able to crank up my passenger side up by 4 & 1/2 turns. On the driver side, I would have been able to go up a total of 9 turns, although I only did the 4.5 turns. While looking at the passenger side in frustration, I noticed the second lower indentation on the ...

WVHogRider

Yeah, Killian96SS, I've loved it from day 1. As for the Mojave's-I have the brake dust issue on the DS wheel occuring-there are too many small simulated screw heads to clean around-Otherwise they would be in the mix of debated wheels as well. Actually, Your truck is the kind of look I'm going toward...

WVHogRider

Nope, Don't mind the polishing. There will be no black wheels for me>Black truck+black tonneau+black windows+black tires+black etc=too black. I like a little bling here and there. Not exactly sure which wheel to go with as I'm also debating between the Centerline Big Sur or Malibu or Terminator wheel.

Hello to all, (newbie here). I finally found this site a couple weeks ago. I've been looking to do many of the mods that I have found here, but never really got the chance to yet or never knew how to go about them. I'm the original owner of a 2001 black CC. However, today I decided to join the site,...
