Support Group/Thread For Mod Addiction or MA

[dmanns67]

As for a mod support group..I wonder though...lol It has really made my list LONGER and I hope to start on that list this weekend.

Same here. My mod list grew and mod fund shrunk tremendously after joining. So many great ideas on this site.

 

[BlazingTrails]

Haha that's really what happens in here. If you need help just ask.

It's ok guys I found it. Now where did I park the truck?

This is the problem with moding, you tend to forget other things. Like the fact I have the neighbours 3 kids over today....Ah crap that's right, got to go

 

[BlazingTrails]

I can also help with parental frustrations......

[Capote]

Those strobes we're $24.20 lol. But I did earn $20 on my Autozone rewards card buying 6 quarts of oil and an oil filter strongly considering going back tonight to buy them

Might need to go back and get another quart

It was for a set of four. Perfect size to conceal in my grill

 

[BlazingTrails]

Oic

I have extra in the house from last time

If you run Mobil 1 oil, it is way cheaper at walmart versus autozone

 

[Capote]

I use Castrol GTX High Mileage

 

[dmanns67]

Typically walmart, at least around here, is $10-$15 cheaper for 5qt jug than autozone or advanced.

 

[BlazingTrails]

I still refuse to spend money at Walmart. Fk em

 

[Capote]

Never compared prices of oil at walmart, autozone, O'Reilly's, and advanced auto parts. I just usually happen to be at Autozone when I happen to plan on changing my oil.

Put the card down and slowly step away.
Remember the mod motto. To spend $20 you've got earn $25. Lol

[BlazingTrails]

Ikr you might need more bolts [emoji14]

Too soon?

 

[Capote]

[Mooseman]

Hey all, I'm Mooseman, some call me Moose for short. I'm the one always passing in the corner. I think I can finally open up to you all. I really need help.

Started 3 years ago when I first got my TB. Actually, it started a long time ago. My first mod was swapping a V8 into my L6 Pontiac Ventura when I was 17 and it hasn't stopped since. I had put efans in my 1978 Z28 when I was in my 20's as well as swappjng in some rear disc brakes from a mix of Cadillac and Trans Am parts. I was way ahead of my time. Now, almost 50, I'm a confirmed addict. After replacing the engine in my TB, I put in efans (of course), got a tune, put in LEDs everywhere, swapped the stock Bose radio for a JVC KW-NX7000 full screen with nav and later added the Sirius module and a backup cam (great for hooking up trailers!), quad headlights with diodes, added HIR bulbs, put LED tails, swapped the fugly neon center stop light with an Avalanche clear LED, stock mirror turn signals with LED's, green air filter, and the icing on the cake, a 3" exhaust with a Magnaflow muffler (after trying two other mufflers) and the ultimate addiction fix, a tranny shift kit (ooooooh yeahhhhh!).. Oh, also had it deracked.

Now my addiction is calling on me to get an OnStar shark fin antenna for the Sirius receiver and GPS for better reception. My LEDs are dying and I have already bought replacements with a new plan for preventing their untimely death. I also want to replace the current efans with some from a later model Montana SV6/Uplander that I already picked up at Kenny U Pull because they sound like they pull more air. Also want to hook up my JVC head unit to my rear DVD player so movies can play both front and rear, either from the DVD or the head unit. Also want to add some heated seats with pads I picked up from Kenny because leather at -20C is not fun. So many mods, so little time...

And my modding just doesn't stop with cars and trucks. I also do it to my snowmobiles. So many mods! So many hours. And computers. I have a server, network and a full set of wireless cameras recording everything everywhere. I've even modded my pool and my dishwasher.

I need help. I need more mods! Uh, I mean, I need to kick this evil addiction. Please, help me!

 

[BlazingTrails]

Welcome we are glad you are here! Thanks for sharing

Someone put another pot of coffee on we're gonna be here a while, Mooseman needs some serious help. It'll be ok, there there, there there.

 

[djthumper]

I don't think this pot is big enough...

I never included my computer and other electronic mods...

 

[Mooseman]

Never mind the coffee. I went to be crying. I'm a monster. Now I'm thinking of modding our dog. Does adding a wireless invisible fence count as a mod???

 

[Sir ffeJ]

If it's straight out of the package, then no. But if you boost the range or the shock intensity then that there my friend IS a mod.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Finally getting some time for mod completion this week!!!

 

[BlazingTrails]

Hell Yeah, don't forget to take pictures so the rest of us know what "not to do" falling "off the wagon".

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Pics or it did not happen...I heard that before

 

[BlazingTrails]

well the correct quote would be "didn't" but we still love you Kyle.

Now what have we learned so far today class?

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Pics rule!

 

[BlazingTrails]

Pics rule!

That's correct! and also you can't catch the gingerbread man

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

No reason too when you are ahead of him

 

[BlazingTrails]

a burn

 

[HARDTRAILZ]
