I broke down and ordered an AIS for my F250.

Should be here next week.

Bought this too. Damn thing is in AZ, will take one of my long weekends & go pick it up. The auction ended with no bids, I'd contacted the seller with a lower offer & they went for it. :D

I know, :)

Since I'm doing the traveling nurse thing, I wanted something to keep my crap safe while traveling between jobs, I figured with this thing, I could camp out a few times along the way or use it on long weekends. I don't want to do the giant camper thing & full time it, I like my creature comforts, like enough room to set up my projector/HTPC and have a 100" tv screen :cool: my contracts include a nice furnished apt.

New rear shock for my SV650, new fork springs and emulators along with heavier weight fork oil, M4 slip on muffler, fender eliminator kit, new Michelin Pilot Powers front and rear, bar end mirrors, removed all badging and decals from the bike, and installed motoslider frame and swingarm sliders. I also have a Pit Bull rear stand for my bike.

Next mod I'll think about is to look for a good deal on a GSXR front end. It takes some doing but many people have done this swap and it does wonders for the handling and feel of the bike...then again, I may just sell this bike and buy a Ducati Monster 1100S or a Triumph Street or Speed Triple.

The car's already got a full exhaust (stock manifolds) and off the shelf tune good for ~220WHP/270WTQ. I'd love to do a suspension with some sticky tires, but funds aren't ready for that. Next mod will be a short shifter and leather shifter knob before summer. The one on there now is metal and I have to drive with a towel wrapped around it in the summer...

"mod" or "fix". Sometimes with older vehicles there isn't much of a difference.

The next actual mod for my Caprice will either be a conversion to a throttle body injection or conversion to LP gas... maybe even dual exhaust. But that will be a while as I'll be graduating in the spring and I still havent' found employment yet. :(

That was the first mod I did to my car. Made a HUGE difference in the feel and quickness of shifts. A must for anyone who enjoys shifting.

Maybe I might either finally lower my car but It's already faily low as it is. I have small wheels so there's a lot of gap but I'm learning towards no or get a BFMIC.

mod? Almost every dime that goes into my car is for repairs. I did buy some projector headlights + 5000k HIDs though. I can see better at night now.

It's not yours until the car is paid for. :) That starcraft camper looks sweet.

LOL, my stuff is always paid for, I don't even think of owning a car unless it's paid for :laugh:

Am looking forward to the camper, I've never had one, my parents had a handful of them, the pop up slide in pickup style was the only kind they bought 2X's.

I'm installing a 700 watt inverter in my 03 rubicon. I'm setting it up with both auto on with the ignition and a manual on switch. I'll have 110 outlets in the rear and one on the dash.

List for later as time and money allows.

By-pass the axle lock so they can be engaged in high range
4" lift
tube bumpers
receiver mounted winch with a receiver on the front.
wifi AP
onboard compressor

We've got 2 within 1.5 years of each other so it'll come all at once. :(

Polyurethane or solid motor mounts. Put in a spec stage 3+ clutch and firmed up the rear with solid bushings all throughout. Fixed what it was intended to fix, and now I have bad clutch pedal bounce and a wobbly shifter during aggressive hard shifting or during clutch engagement from a stop. Not to mention an intake coupler keeps popping loose.

Got the motor mounts, but having a hard time finding a T-56 cross member for an 03 Cobra with a polyurethane mount. Many people aren't even aware there is a rubber mount built into the tranny cross member and think it's just solid, but it's actually two pieces of metal with a rubber block in between. All the various SN95 polyurethane tranny mounts I can find explicitly state "excludes 03-04 Cobra w/ 6 spd".

New speakers for my 1994 Dakota. It has the factory Infinity system with the amps built on the speakers. I don't know if they don't work anymore or what, but they are pathetic. I'd love to paint it and get some new bumpers for it too.
