i figured the denali lights and HIDs were coming out soon for you, thats why i wasn't going to say anything about them. keep it up man. the only upgrade i can think of is for you to upgrade the speakers. even just some drop ins for a little clearer sound

Looks great. May wanna do some reading on fuel saving tires. Heard the stopping distance is close to all seasons in the snow. But I know you and I hope thats not the case for those tires!

Even if they did my next non-truck related purchase is about to put me in the "broke book" lol. That's another surprise though

SURPRISE!

So the other day I decided that my freshly painted hitch looked awful lonely... now it's got a friend, 12k out the door for this friend.

2006 Sea Doo Sporster 150/155hp 4stroke, sound system, seats 4, top speed of 50mph on the water. This is going to be a fun summer.



Should look great in our boat house, it's had an empty bay since we bought the cottage lol, and at 36x42 a 14' aluminum fishing boat looks ridiculously small and lonely in there lol.

Sadie and I are going to pick her up on Wednesday.

lmao yeah. This is a single 4-tec with 155hp so I'm hoping it'll be better on fuel than two 2-strokes lmfao. This weekend is not going to come fast enough though

If I really want to go and do 60mph down the lake I'll just throw my 1995 Yamaha Wave Raider in the water lol. It's an 1100cc triple cylinder 2-stroke with ~130hp. She flies, espcially when you hit the wake from a 32' Bayliner with a sleeper cabin that's off plane... 5 ft waves anyone? There's also a sticker on the stern that's upside down telling you how to flip it back over when you capsize. Tippy SOB it is.

those boats are really fun. if you want to really soak the front passengers, go about 35-40 in drive then nose dive it into reverse and the front bow should drop under the water line. i've done it a few times in my cousin's "toys".

nice look

So... If god made an adhesive for plastic repair, it would be 2 part epoxy.

What I'm saying is

THIS fixed mount

+
This
fixed highbeam bulb retainer

=
THIS pair of headlights
which will hopefully be on my truck tomorrow once that 2 part epoxy cures on the bulb retainer, I fixed the mounting bracket last night and that epoxy is STRONG. Hopefully it will do the trick on that retainer because myself or the parts guy can't find a part number for that piece anywhere.
