Yeah I figured I would go ahead and place the order since I know my tax return is on the way.

I got a lot of stuff, but didn't get everything on my watch list because I would probably have a heart attack from excitement if I ordered it all at once. lol

Those power folding mirrors are on that list though

Oooooo gingy has got done secret goodies? Lol. Are you gonna hit up Carlton about the power folding?

 

[Sib]

Those mirrors are nice. After I saw you post that link I had to add them to my watch list also. Lol. I'll have to wait until my mirrors take a crap tho. Hard to justify to the wife I need new mirrors when mine work perfectly right now.

My taxes are going to be a little more complicated this year thanks to how local taxes where I used to live are done. If you just follow their "nice basic" worksheet for a partial year they end up trying to take some taxes out of my new job paycheck when I no longer lived there anymore. It is a simple "take total W2s gross income, muliply by x% of the year that you lived here" type thing they're trying to pull, and since my new job was a pay raise that results in them trying to lay claim to some of my income from the new job. But I didn't live in that locality when I started my new job. Screw them, I gotta figure out how to do it the hard way so they don't try to steal from me

That, and apparently Turbotax (who I have used in the past) has had some issues with state filings this year apparently, so I need to decide whether to do it the hard way and do state separate (which would save me a few bucks), or wait for them to get it figured out and fixed for convenience sake.

Blah, I HATE tax season.

/rant

More than likely anything that comes back is just going to pay for my property taxes Anything that might be left over will likely be put in the replacement GMT fund.

Sad my only tax mod is cleaning the blood off my door panel

Mod fund is dwindling as the repair parts keep adding up

Hopefully I do not owe this year on taxes. Replenish the mod fund.

What needs repair? It's never good if you have to buy the tools in order to fix a repair either.

One of those "speciality" tools you will use once and never again.

 

[Sparky]

Half the time those specialty tools aren't even actually needed.

 

[Sib]

50% of the time they're needed every time

True statement.

It was a cheap tool and bought as a precaution to prevent me creating more headaches for myself.

Been working on the "shop" mod. Thinking 24 x 32. Hoping for some pricing this weekend.

Ok so I just bought some Load Resistors for my rear blinkers. I plan on getting some for the front too, but I have a question...where the hell did you guys that have them, mount them? Got any pics for me? I don't even have from leds yet so I'm really in no rush but just wondering.

Mount them anywhere on metal within range of the wires reaching where you need to connect them, and you're good.

Thanks. Thats what I figured but wasn't sure if there was a special spot y'all used or not.

I just let them hangout behind the headlights like the ballasts.

I just let them hangout behind the headlights like the ballasts.

I also just let mine on the stang hang. Just got them tucked behind a metal panel to keep them away from plastics.

I will have to try that. Was just worried about it heating up and melting something. Glad to know y'all have it that way.

Had mine in the trunk for a few days to counter my switchbacks being single brightness (I put them on the flashing circuit and it would dim the fronts correctly from the back) but when I pushed the brakes it activated that circuit and they got super F-ing hot, way to hot to touch for more than a second. Was sitting in traffic one day and smelled something burning...they melted into the plastic-backed carpet surround in the trunk. After that I moved them to the front and now they're only activated with turn signals and don't have anything to burn.

My story is almost irrelevant in your case, just stating how hot they can get but remember your turn signal isn't constantly on and is only used during turns so they won't get near as hot as mine did.

Just make sure they don't touch any wires or plastic pieces and you'll have no issues.

 

[Sib]

With my fronts I was planning on getting switchbacks so won't they be on all the time on the front? Or is the resistor not working at all if the parking lights are on and only when turn signals light up?

About the only mods i have planned in the near future are being done by the body shop during repairs lol....some of the badges may uh..."fail" to be reinstalled on the new trunk lid

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

I will post pics during mockup and finished product. It may be a couple of weeks though.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

I got a pair of 3.5 18 inch long chrome tips for spring. Got to get the mangaflow under the truck as the Hooker has finally rusted through where the one ruck bumped it.

Shopping for leds again... TB is about to get interior lighting upgrade as soon as I decide what I wanna do.

Thinking 5 chip 5050's in all but the cargo light and have a 5050 panel in the cargo light. My wallet don't like the prices of the 5630 panels.

What about these 5630 194 LEDs, http://www.amazon.com/JDM-ASTAR-10pcs-Bright-market/dp/B00OH0S5Y2/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1424127024&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=194+5630+white+led

(10) for $15. Next time I need some 194s, I am going with this seller on Amazon since my last EBay purchase did not pan out. Plus these come with a 1yr warranty.

I could not find any panels on Amazon though. The 212 5630 festoon LED in the cargo area is plenty bright enough for me.

Meh, I prefer 20 194 5050's for under $8. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251370483066&alt=web

I'll have to look about that 5630 festoon though, hadn't even thought about that, had looked at 5050 festoons though.

-how many chips are on your festoon?
-added link for anyone that wants it.
