    Miracle Oil Anybody?

    Do the math guys. Two oil changes will run you the $72 it costs for one can of this. If you change your oil every 3,000 miles you'd be spending upwards of $600. How can you not see the savings? :p

    Hunter's New truck build

    Dang dude, tough question. It's been about two years since I did the research on all that. :lol: IIRC it's best to match your amp's output impedance to the total output of the subs. I believe my amp was rated at both 2 and 4-ohms, so I went with the 2-ohm subs. Since the Fox Box runs...

    Miracle Oil Anybody?

    But Jim, it's 100% synthetic-based.

    Hunter's New truck build

    I love 'em, man. They aren't top end ($$$) by any means, but they are perfect. I have a feeling you'd be more than satisfied with them. :thumbs:

    Hunter's New truck build

    It holds two 10" subs. IIRC I'm running JL 10W3v3s. Reason being there is only 6-1/8" mounting depth for the subs, so you have to find some decent ones that will fit.

    Hunter's New truck build

    Hey Hunter, I've been scarce as of late, but I just saw your post in my audio rebuild thread. I think you posted it about two months ago. :lol: Yeah I love my FoxBox. It's fits perfectly and adds a perfect amount of bass for me. I don't go for head-rattling or window-shattering.....but it...

    Headlight Restoration How-To

    :thumbs: Just as an update, the Camry needed this done again recently. I'd estimate every 1-2 years this would need done once. The only way to prevent this completely is to either: 1. Buy new headlights. 2. Put on clear coat after doing this. Definitely something higher quality than...

    Dont cry when you click this....

    Question: would this type of thing show up on a CarFax report? If so, would it diminish the value or just make someone looking at it a little more leery?

    What Should I Sell For? $$

    That's what I'm thinking now. I have enough income now (luckily got a good job) that I can double-up payments and have it paid off in a year. I think it would be worth it to do that......then it would be mine and I would be assured that I have a vehicle that's been cared for properly. If I...

    What Should I Sell For? $$

    I am re-doing the calculations.....and based on what I'm seeing I may not be selling it. Will have to do this in-depth tomorrow. My first calculations with keeping the truck didn't account for it actually being paid off within 2 years. :lol: Re-doing it with the payoff period (<2 years)...

    What Should I Sell For? $$

    Na, man, I had some strange leakage. A corner wasn't sealed so water got in when I washed the truck. Had to dry it out in the oven, so I set it facing down for the water to evaporate. The water was dirty, though, and left a nice stain on the inside of the lens. :lol: Need to crack it...

    What Should I Sell For? $$

    I am going to be looking into an older car that I can pay cash for (~$5K), but something like an SUV or Jeep. That way I still have room. Yeah the payment would go straight to my student loans, so it would help out a lot. I feel the same way---once I'm out of debt I can save up for a new...

    What Should I Sell For? $$

    Student loans have entered repayment. Those combined with credit cards put me in pretty serious debt (majority student loans). I've read Dave Ramsey's book and been following his podcasts. I've just decided to get my priorities straight. I need to get rid of this truck payment and get out...

    What Should I Sell For? $$

    I don't like that recommendation. :D

    What Should I Sell For? $$

    Update Post 24..... I'm strongly considering selling my truck (not 100% yet, but leaning towards it). What would you guys recommend I sell it for? I'd probably shoot for a private party due to all the mods.....dealers won't care about that stuff. Basic stuff: -2007 FX4 Luxury Package...

    This just in from the folks over at Consumer Reports.

    Well the Ridgeline got voted high for pickups, so they can't be totally wrong, right? Oh, wait....

    My Bro bought a New Truck

    That's a big truck. :flag:

    Bought a new truck, traded in the '04.

    Yeah my rear was the same way, except it was just as black as the fronts. I had to cut it, though, to fit it in with the sub box. I agree---the set isn't worth the $200. The fronts are definitely worth the money.....but with the backs being so crappy they bring the value down.

    Bought a new truck, traded in the '04.

    For real, though, man. I'm stoked for you. Such a nice truck. I know you're happy with it, and it was a good time to trade if you were starting to get problems with big red. Nice buy!

    Reserving this post for later. Pulling this up at work while tethering from my phone.....so pics are loading slow for me. I'll give my thoughts shortly. :D

    Yep those are the ones. I bought them straight from WeatherTech's site.

    Pricing on a set of true duals

    The biggest factor in install costs is the area you live in. There's a shop near me that did my complete install for only $160 in labor. Jeff even drove up here to have his done. Depending on the shop you go to, it is usually cheapest to buy your parts separate (mufflers, crossover, cats...

    Do NOT run this barricade. EVER.

    Materials Engineering at its finest. Wonder how long that stuff's been around?
