  1. Yes I did! Ran across it the other day combing through threads haha. I didn't blow out a window but came somewhat close, my windshield looks like it got hit with a shotgun full of sand
  2. Ah gotcha, I think Stioc has the same kit as what I'm looking at, so I think I may just stick with it. I hate my brakes so far. That and how the pathy tries to do a swan dive any time I hit them hard, but that's more suspension tuning hahaha

  4. True that! Just hope I don't get caught in another sandstorm! I see you had a similar experience
  5. Nope, zero prep other than cleaning it. It's actually better to not scuff/scratch it because supposedly it makes it easier to peel off. Just give it about 4 very light coats and it works great! To restore the black if it fades, I just use Mother's Back to Black, and it works like a charm. Hope it helps
  6. Plastidip hahahahaha That's what I used and it turned out great. But if that really rubs you the wrong way, then this stuff called Krylon Fusion works really well on plastics. I bonds with them and doesn't fade, very popular on Xterras to fix that matte trim. I used it on my Lincoln's faded plastic and worked out well.
  7. Hmm..... we'll have to see, I'll see if I can get ahold of Stioc. Could always keep it casual
  8. Would it be possible to move the monitor somewhere else? For instance, maybe you could stick it onto the compass monitor if so equipped?
  9. Interesting video system! I hope you get it working properly, it's looking like it doesn't work to well as a mirror?
  10. They actually have Goodridge SS lines on AutoAnything now, so with free shipping and 15% off, out the door should be around $90-something. The kit comes with the front lines, rear splitter and rear line. Plus other hardware. I'm planning on putting them in myself, and hope to fix the poor pedal feel.
  11. Huh, never heard that before. At least it's fixed? Haha Maybe look at the fuse just to be sure, like the others said.
  12. Saw an interview of him recently, it's a shame; he seemed like one of the few real car persons in Hollywood, and a nice guy all around. Condolences
  13. So I'm piecing together my OME Lift- already have MD front coils, and ordering 1" spacers up front. I'm going with the standard MD springs out back (should, on the likely chance the Jeep springs not fit.) I'm planning on converting my brake lines to braided Stainless, and my question is should I buy stock length or 2in extension? Thanks!
  14. So many times! ...When a 2" lift is a big deal.
  15. Would it be easier to trim the fenders? What size tires are you running that cause this?
  16. Wow I'm really glad 36* can knock out a truck ostensibly designed for "work."
  17. Hmm, I may do that, I'll see how they fit on the upper spring perch. Not sure if they're wj or zj Hahaah
  18. Hmm.... Ocotillo Wells might be a neat location. Been out there several times, and plenty of space/conditions to test.
  19. Being one of the younger people on here, and still living at home unfortunately, I don't have another personal car other than the Pathy. However, I figured I'd share what my family has: 2000 Lincoln Town Car- Panther Platform FTW! Slow, but gets about 15 in the city and rides like no other. (No mods since pic) 1995 Mercedes E320- Last of the great Mercedes. It knows exactly what it is, and is proud of it. Handles well, quick, impeccably pieced together, and breaks 100 without a sweat. Since picture, have put on new, wider, Michelins. 2003.5 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi 4x4. I learned to drive and off road in this. It has a few mods, and lots of factory goodies like: trailer package, Firestone rear air bags, KYB shocks all around (Moving to Bilstein), sport package (no chrome), trailer brake controller, leveling kit, spray in bedliner, 50 series Flowmaster, AEM Cold Air Intake, Powertrain Control Module upgrade, 3.92 gears with rear LSD, and finally '09 Ram rims on 285/70r17 Duratracs Now for the classics: 1962 VW Karmann Ghia, 120k miles, original 40 horse motor. No rust, and a work in progress (see paint). Runs and drives well with new brakes, battery, and Coker Thin Whitewalls on powdercoated original rims (not pictured). And finally, a 1931 Ford Model A pickup. All stock, and working on the brakes/hubs currently. Just bought two months ago and am learning here and there.
