  1. Anyone ever try Partsgeek.com? They have some good prices and free shipping for orders over 100 bux.
  2. I have the same mileage issue, about 12. It does a little better on the hwy but not much. I notice a decrease during the winter months. I lose about 30 -40 miles on a tank. I'm still trying to get enough dough for manual hubs. I have done the full tune up, no codes, tires full, etc. I even tried the K&N route to no avail. I just figure it's the SUV syndrome...
  3. ^gets on NPORA all the time at work <Is at work and onlright now v wishes they had it so good
  4. I need to build a set. My factory nerf bars have done their job but are now tired. I like the idea of the 2 tubes. Nice work.
  5. Happy B-day! Nice job on the wallpaper. Can't wait for the WS.
  6. Welcome! If you happen to find your way to the Portland area, look me up. For some reason, none of the Oregonians ever go wheeling....kidding. I think it's just poor timing on my part. Anywho, welcome to the looney bin.
  7. Same here. I gained about 40 lbs since moving to Oregon. Must have something to do with the rain....
  8. I had the same thing happen with the tards at Firestone complete auto care, when I got the new tires. They wasted 1 stud on 3 wheels and 2 on the other. Dumba$$es.
  9. Welcome!! <<<that's for having an R50
  10. I like the way it gets me out of what I put it through and still looks good.
  11. Saw tis one a while back. Makes a dude scared to get a bike.
  12. I would give my left nad to lift mine, but with kids..... Are you fabbing the kit yourself? If so, would you be willing to sell some patterns?
  13. Is someone going to finally market one?
  14. I didn't do it to a Bose, but the same principle applies to them all. You can try to spray it without taking the unit apart, but you may need to take it apart enough to expose the encoder. 9 times out of 10, when they get taken to the repair shop, the dude just sprays the components with cleaner and works the knobs back and forth until it works. Then they charge the crap out of you. I would try to take the unit apart. If there are soft keys near the area you are cleaning, the cleaner can destroy the rubber. I wish I took pics of when I did my Crutchfield receiver. I aint too good at splaineen theens.
  15. If you like tinkering, you can take the unit apart and clean the encoder with a quality electronics cleaner. Don't get the Radio Shack trash. I have used some stuff from Crutchfield to clean my stereo components(also Crutchfield) and the encoders in micrometers among other sensitive electronic equipmend. Encoders are guck magnets. Just a little cleaning and they work like new. Hope this helps.
  16. See what you can come up with on your end. These paople around here either want 40 bux each for them or they are like these last tards I tried to deal with. I have an aunt down in Texas that makes signs and banners. They have a nice facility, but I am not sure about cost of work + shipping to Oregon, then mailing them out to everyone. I just don't want the cost to be so damn high. They are only stickers for pete's sake. The shipping companies are expensive due to fuel costs and such, so I can;t blame them too much...besides what they pay the drivers. Maybe I should go work for UPS. Anywho, I will try to call my aunt and see what she can do for me. I will keep everyone informed.
  17. apparantly their main business is printing multiple colors on vinyl. I just didn't expect a GIANT bumper sticker for my windshield. Why would it cost more for cut out lettering? is ink cheaper than a razor? or what ever the machine uses to cut them out...
  18. They totaly misunderstood what I wanted. I told them I was looking for cut vinyl letters. They ahowed me printed vinyl. They sent me a file that is a 1:1, but the font sucks, the style is boring. The whole thing looks retarded. Like something you would buy in a kit from walmart and do yourself.
  19. So, I went to the sign shop and looked at the proofs. They looked like SH!T. they were nothing like I explained/ sent. So, back to square one we go. I am going to sit down with them when I have more time and talk them through what we are looking for. Why is the world so full of DEE DUH DEE's? SOFAKING WEE TODD ED!
