I got no problem if someone wants to change there name but please dont go by two names at the same time, please dont make up imaginary friends to back up something you believe in, and dont pretend your someone else. If you find the need to do this then - Change your name, abandon the old one, tell everyone "this is my new name, i used to go by " "" and there wont be any problems. Thats all. Thanks.1 point

Well the time flew by fast for the 2010 F150 2wd. Just like my previous F150's, it was a great truck! I love everything about it besides getting stuck in the sand and wishing i had 4x4. Well we were close to paying our old truck off and instead of keeping it like we planned, i decided i could not have a 2wd any more, especially since i have the RZR to pull around and i love going to sand dunes. So we traded it in today. The 2015's were more expensive and didn't have any rebates. So we got the 2014. Still brand new as can be, not used! We wanted the black leather seats and this time she wanted a black paint job instead of the traditional red we always get LOL. So that's exactly what we did. After going to Pismo Beach and watching Tim from Audiotistics handle the sand like a CHAMP, and with a toy hauler on back, i was sold on it. Yes it is a V6. But is a twin turbo V6. If he feels like telling eveyone his experience here, he will. But it is all good. Fast, very powerful (feels more powerful than my v8 did) and good on gas. Plus this vehicle is loaded-loaded. It has EVERYTHING! Even projectors with HID's that turn with the vehicle. Oh, Stock 20's too Not that those will be on there long though haaha. YAY I CAN FINALLY LIFT A VEHICLE! Getting ready to seal the deal. Good bye old red girl, you were good to us! Only had 33,000 miles on her too The first person to tell me i "should get some Projectors and HID's" is going to get bitchslapped, right through the computer screen. LOL1 point

Hey guys! This is Kevin posting directly, and I want to thank you for taking the time to read this post! As I am sure you have seen us posting around the last few weeks, "Jet.com" is coming soon (1-2 months), and is anticipated to be the biggest e-commerce startup launch of 2015, having achieved some pretty big feats, such as already raising $80 Million series A funding, as well as cover's on the likes of magazines like Bloomberg's Businessweek! I am going to give you a quick insight to what Jet is all about, so you know what this post is about, and why it is worth signing up for so much more than just to win a free stereo! I am excited to know and have met on several occasions, the founder and CEO, Marc Lore, of Jet.com. His vision and passion for business is exhilarating, and I am happy to share it with you guys.. You heard me, we are giving away a Free BRAND NEW Pioneer AVH-X2700BS Double Din Car Stereo Receiver 48 Hours from now to one lucky winner of this forum, just to build excitement and a large following for the launch of Jet, which will be going live in only a month or two! Entering is simple, just follow the few short steps below!! You will get early access to the site as well as an opportunity for free memberships and more.. To Enter Drawing **Winner Will be Chosen 2/4/2015 @ 9:30PM EST** (You can enter to win even if you've participated in our previous competitions for Jet these last few weeks, so don't miss out!) 1. Sign up for "Jet Insider" using this link >> https://jet.com/#/ji/cd1c4 2. Post a Screenshot Confirming Your Completed Sign-Up In this Thread 3. That's it, you are entered to win! We will do a drawing with all usernames in a basket and pick one at random, posting the winner here.. What is Jet.com? From an article I published on LinkedIn.. Whether or not this is the first time you are hearing about "Jet.com", it most certainly won't be the last. Even if you happened to miss the nearly dozen articles published on "Jet" over the last two weeks, the company means serious business. Jet.com is potentially the most transparent startup ever, with a HQ that's based out of New Jersey, and has been quietly working around the clock over the last year or so to create what it calls "The Most Brilliant Way to Shop".. Jet is an e-commerce shopping platform that will sell millions of products, and on average be 10-15% cheaper than anywhere else online. Of course, the obvious question is how a new startup, boasting so many millions of products, is going to be cheaper than everyone else?! The answer is captivating and unique in it's own right. The business model of Jet is similar to the likes of the wholesale clubs such "Costco" and "BJ's", in which products are sold at nearly no profit. Instead the company will rely on yearly subscription fees to generate profit margin and subsidize the low costs. However, while Jet utilizes a subscription type model, just like the big club chains, it is unique in how it delivers. How Does Jet.com work? Jet uses sophisticated technology and algorithms on the back end, to derive the cheapest possible cost for the consumer based on several factors. The engine that drives Jet is smart enough to know that it needs to get the product from the closest possible fulfillment center (Jet will utilize "third party partner sellers to fulfill orders, similar to Amazon's marketplace, albeit a little more hidden to protect the ease and simplicity of shopping on Jet), therefore driving down wasted costs and passing those savings onto the customer. It also takes into account the type of payment method a customer uses upon checkout, further driving down cost. Furthermore, customers who purchase more than one item that can come from the same location in the same box, will see deeper discounts for every additional product added, increasing exponential savings. Utilizing the efficiencies of the supply chain as explained above will allow Jet to be an extremely transparent shopping engine, ultimately getting the end consumer the lowest possible price on nearly everything sold online. While shipping times should be fairly quick in general, Mr. Lore believes consumers are willing to wait an extra day or two for orders to arrive when the savings are going to be as large as Jet is going to offer. In fact, Jet is basically guaranteeing the cheapest prices online as long as you are a member. In Closing... Jet realizes how big their potential customer base is, which will ultimately drive the success of the company, and is planning on spending a tremendous amount of capital to make sure word spreads quickly. That being said, if you are interested in gaining early access to the site when it launches, as well as a free 6-month membership, I encourage you to become a "Jet Insider" and get important updates by clicking here. Thank you for reading, Kevin S -Founder and CEO, Skar Audio1 point

After dropping my car 2", i have noticed a little bit of inner tire wear. The ISF has no camber adjustment from the factory so there is really nothing you can do other then raise it back up.......and people who are BARELY LOWERED, if at all, still get inner tire wear issues. I have done some research and i think my next purchase is these. http://www.figsprops.com/suspension.htm#arms RACE MEGA - Standard Specs TIG welded- interlocking tab construction. Dimpled and lightened for maximum suspension response and stiffness. FIGS FXM MOTO rod end standard 3-Piece Aurora AM12T Optional Integral end fitting weldment, tube in box construction. Upper triangle gusset standard. Approx 4.6 lbs Cost effective solution for tire wear Slotted shock mount for leverage adjustment. 3-position sway bar endlink mounting options. Stock Eccetric bolt for fine on-vehicle camber adjustments.(new eccentric bolt included on ISX50, IS-F and Gen3 GS applications) Inner rod end adjusts for coarse camber offsets. Requires unmounting for adjustments. next to the stock ones.. I am probably going to order them today. I am just trying to figure out if i am going to powder coat them, polish them, or leave them raw (with clear coat). I am leaning toward polished, but i am also looking at raw/clear since i sort of like that look. Figs is also working on something for the front and it should be ready soon! So i will be able to keep my drop and not hash tires every 6 months. stay tuned i will post pics when they get here and of course the install! :popcorn:1 point

UPDATE: I heard Figs had a new rear control arm available, redesigned with some extra reinforcements. The new ones come with a support bracket up top and a few small gussets in key places. Mine were ok but getting a bit old so i didn't want to take any chances.. Combined with the fact i always regretted not getting blue one's, i decided to get my hustle on. I called up Figs and explained that i wanted the new ones, but completely bare bones, no powder coat, no paint, no mounting accessories. Just the arms with the new upgrades. He was willing to take mine and upgrade them for me but my car would be down and i didn't want to do that. My plan is to buy new ones (and he gave me a good price), paint them next door at the body shop, reinstall them, and THEN send my originals in for upgrades. When mine come back i will have them re-shot and then sell them. In the end, it will have cost me very little (so long as i can sell mine) and i will have the newest latest product. So i did it and here it goes. They arrived on Tuesday (yesterday) and wow, they really are bare! haha. But they look cool like this. I was VERY tempted to just clear coat them and call it done. But i really have my heart set on blue (to match my brakes). I call up Jay and say "hey, my arms are in, can you paint tonight and have ready in the morning?" As usual, he is like "hell ya no problem"...and that is what i love about the guy. Jay, if you are looking (probably not) but if you are, THANK YOU BRO you know i appreciate it!! So we let that dry for the night......and about 9am when i got to the shop, i picked them up! Now THAT is SERVICE!!!! Jay is the MAN!!! And my landlord who owns the body shop is the man for having such a great place and letting us use it after hours. they came out GORGEOUS! Pretty good match if you ask me! For those that are wondering, no that is not an H pipe. That is actually just support. It doesn't flow through that. There is however an X pipe in front of it. The blue looks so much better!!1 point
