All your set ups are dope, the 07 version is my Fav.

Oun 01-28-09 03:47 PM

nice setup for 07 lol. is that the I-5?

junito1 01-28-09 06:08 PM

HE said little upgrade... for 08...

THats massive in my opinion... THe truck alone is hella upgrade.=D

the 07 setup is closer to my income=D

J.T.P. 01-28-09 06:37 PM

actually i think that's already on the 14 heading to willow.

yeah, decent upgrade, but the old setup was paid for....

definitely a lot more comfortable and safer for leaving overnight.

the open trailer is the one that got jacked around July this past year. that led to the getting the enclosed.

hey justin save your money on diesel gas and do this. http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_svo.html
i am sure you will save alot $$ on gas.

E_Dub 01-28-09 08:45 PM

How bad is servicing the wheel bearings on that trailer haha. That trailer is long, must be huge inside.

Justin how was the s10 for pulling? I have been thinking about getting one for a tow truck but everyone is saying to atleast get a v8

the blue truck was a chevy 2500 v8

you definitely want to get at least a 1500 v6, it's not so much about pulling, but having the ability to STOP. i think a s10 would get thrown around a lot pulling a trailer/car combo.

Oun 01-28-09 10:20 PM

i'm def. looking into upgrading to an H2 luxory edition with an enclosed trailor for this summer. im tired of looking out the hotel window with my ak-47 every 2 hours in the middle of the night lol

Ranzo 01-29-09 01:51 PM

Yeah I got a regular open trailer too. FD would never let me park inside the events with it........lol


I towed a 240sx from Memphis to Houston with a S-10 4.3v6....power was ok but yeah stopping was hard, needed trailer brakes bad and at night you could see the tops of trees and buildings fine.......just not the road.

Now got a Expedition and trailer brakes.......Soooooo much nicer.

stevensimon 01-29-09 01:56 PM

rocking a ford ranger and small tandem axle flatbed till i get an f150 and a 2 car trailer. but my trips are only 20 miles maximum from shop to track.

Fixed after a track break down(clutch fork pivot ball)

Awesome Purple duct tape still holding front bumper on after saying hi to the side strips at Phoenix Raceway.
Also have general ackbar painted on the TII rims for added bling

aw man its such a pain when those pivot ball breaks, I never broke one, but my friends s13 he broke it and we had to pull the whole tranny on my driveway to replace that lil piece. They should make some invincible ones or something lol.

dkwasherexd 01-30-09 05:44 AM

Im still breaking in, 700 miles to go..

how far are your skirts from the ground? In the second pic it looks like you're almost dragging them.

K!NCH 01-30-09 02:27 PM

What seat is that dk?

Oun 01-30-09 04:02 PM

i bet you have a bag of zipties and wire cutters in ur car like i do :)

bcarmack 01-31-09 02:41 AM

damn thats slick looking washer... super clean!

dkwasherexd 01-31-09 05:53 AM

my car was alot lower, but I had a "too low ticket" where the cop couldnt even stick his toe under my car.. My chassis frame rails were all beat up and shiny like a polished lip. So I finally decided to raise my car so I wont be able to get that ticket again, plus its easier to drive around places. I just came from the plaza parking garage today and set off the fire alarm. I guess the carbon monoxide or c02 set the alarm lol. gutted cat ftw !

The driver seat is just ebay. nothing cool.. only thing legit interior wise is the momo wheel and sard shift knob lol

Yeah I had a whole plastic jar of zipties in begining of 08, and somehow now I went through almost all of them. I dont have much left, so Im trying not to scrape. Its definitely easier to get around now..Have you seen the 99cent color zipties lol

I went to first day of class yesterday, and somehow it was canceled.My councelors put the wrong date on my schedule. I got mad cuz It was 6 am in the morning, im sleepy, and I drove all the way to school for nothing. My car was parked in big open empty lot and its still dark before sunrise. I decided to swang with lights off for a bit around the parking lot islands keeping it under 4k rpm just feathering the throttle and then Ic a golf cart security guy was coming so I drove off slowly and he was chasing me lol shit was funny.he had that yellow strobe light and all. I came back later on when sunlight came and none of the security knew it was me lol. but yeah this motor feels strong even just at just below 4k rpm it wheel spins very easy, alot of torq..Or maybe cuz the stretch tire and welded diff combo? well enough of this recklessness until its fully broken in.. about 500 miles to go... shouldnt have done this lol.. need to be more patient with the break in... control myself...facepalm....
