I love your avatar!! Bucky Katt is AWESOME!!

I start my weekday mornings off with Bucky and Satchel as I tear off the previous day from my calendar and reveal their next, hilarious adventure.



And sp8ball: your 4R looks great. I wanted the Salsa Red myself, but couldn't get the tan interior, so I settled for black/tan. And this thread is great!! Always something new to check out, even if it is just the humor found here.

Don't do it, its a trap! Everyone knows the hamburger tray has a million and one uses and so it must clearly be better. Although party mode is pretty awesome. We should be able to have both, then it would be time for a PARTY!

Thanks! As you can see by the 25 pages of mods (well, 5 pages of mods and 20 pages of nonsense)...it's a work in progress.

The silver isn't that bad.

Thanks for the photoshopping-ness.

You are welcome. The Red was pulled from another pic of your truck, and I agree, it's pretty blegh. The Silver is just a "chrome" gradient because as Antman pointed out in another thread... painting anything chrome just never looks right.

Well, one of my shift knobs arrived! The leather ball "TRD" one.

So, I crept out at 11:45 pm and installed in on the 4wd post. Looks great! (exactly like this)

Also have locked down the all-day modfest (and family cookout) with Antman for this Saturday. Should be some interesting pics/writeups by the end of the weekend!

Unfortunately, it's going to be a quiet couple of days. I have to (gasp) work and stuff.

But, Antman and I do have an all-day modfest and family BBQ planned for Saturday, complete with wife approval and readily mod-supplied (with all necessary mod-related parts). Should be awesome!

I also found out that he just did the "always on 12v outlet" mod in about 45 seconds (or 30 minutes, whatever), and was gracious enough to pick up a switch for mine as well. He's so nice!

And on Sunday, I'm meeting up with MuddyYota to get Satoshi Grille parts and black TE fog bezels. They'll be installed at the same time as my Putco jet yellow fogs (arrive next week). When? When I'm not fat.

On Monday, my Infinity Kappa Speakers should arrive.

And at some point in the future, my TRD main shift knob will arrive. At last glance, it had been to Malaysia, Bangkok, New Zealand, and Australia, and departed yesterday for the US of A. So who knows when it will get here.

Could things BE more exciting?

Of course they can! Because I just found out that the "voucher request" that my wife's friend made for NKOTBSB tickets went through, so we're going to the concert. Oh joy.

If I was interested in this, should I do fog lights or driving lights?

PIAA Lights - PIAA Bulbs, PIAA Headlight, PIAA Fog Lights & Off Road Lights

I was looking at the 520s.



Which color? I was thinking amber fog lights, but what if the light doesn't match my jet yellow Putco bulbs? Would it be safer/easier to just make them driving lights?

And why do they look purple and yellow?

The "protective cage" would be black, naturally. I'd be placing them in the lower grille area in an attempt to look awesome.

Bulbs were done quietly. But "legally". As long as I install a cool switch to go with them, she may buy into it!



(editorial correction: As long as Antman installs a cool switch to go with them, she may buy into it!)

So... The big question. What has the wife decided? Has she tossed out a couple of ideas? Does she begin to talk about but leave you on the edge of your seat wondering whats coming? Or has she just pink fuzzy dice and hung them from your mirror?

I did the ATP pattern, it's a wider driving pattern but a whiter light than a fog. I figured I already had factory fogs that covered directly in front of the vehicle. If I want more light I need more light way out front, not 4 feet in front.

Time to show my ignorance...

Those are "driving" lights then, correct? If so, do they come on with the headlights, or are they turned on by an independent switch?
