Day one

So, my family is in town, but I was able to find a little bit of time to install a few of my new toys
-WeatherTechs installed
-Gobi Ladder
-HID's
-DRL Mod (it was so easy that I was sure I must have done something wrong, works great though)
-Running Boards removed

Now its time to get some dinner and have a few much needed beers :tongue:

I passed through geiger back in the day for ITB, but I'm just getting back from my second tour in Afghanistan.

 

[Kdub_usn]

Come on! You've got work to do still.... Lift/wheels/tires!

Welcome back

 

[spitvenom]

Get to work.. We want more pics!

 

[3GT4R]

Well, I stopped in autozone after some mcgriddles at mcdonalds this morning and grabbed a k&n air filter a 4" deckplate, soldering iron to fix my clock, and some fuel injector cleaner.
I put in the k&n and fixed the clock with help of the tutorials section on here. I'll be doing the deckplate mod tomorrow. I'll post a couple of boring pictures as soon as I get the chance...
I'm kinda busy right now so I gotta go... sitting on the beach drinking a bourbon and sweet tea

Sick truck bro. Thanks you for your service for our country!:thanks: Subscribed

 

[4-Ripcord]

Welcome home! Look forward to the pics.

 

[Ironback]

Alright, alright... Enough skylarkin! All I want to see are @$$holes and elbows!

JK! Take some time for yourself brother. But get to work, cause I'm living vicariously through all of you here on the boards. Work/kids/RL (take your pick) are keeping me from doing anything. That and not having the rig I want to dump money into yet.

Take lots of pics buddy. Can't wait to see what another Jarhead is going to do.

So I installed the deckplate... Not too difficult. I put some screen behind it and sealed it with marine grade sealant and six screws. I also installed an optima yellow top and did the air box elbow removal mod while I had the box out! Overall, a pretty productive day.
Accelorator feels more responsive and feels like I've got a little more power. Can't complain.
