Just moved out to SoCal (Valencia) from Tampa.

Tell us a little about yourself and what you're driving these days.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome Steve.

Me: Happily married, work as a fabricator and working towards an engineering degree. I was recently building mechanical effects for Hollywood.

My Truck: I have a red 99 F250 2wd that I recently purchased from Dad. He took a more conservative approach, so it currently has some stereo upgrades and a torque converter. I just got off the phone with Clay - already bugging him about parts. Hopefully have an order finalized by tomorrow.
I'm starting with the basics - intake (6637), exhaust (MBRP), tuner (BP), shocks (Bilstein) and need to look up gauges tonight. (input is welcome) I also need to get tires on there pdq, so looking into wheel and tire packages.

 

Are you talking about Riff-Raff Performance Clay? He seems to have good feedback from the people who have used his services.

 

That would be him. He's been highly recommended by more people than I can count, was extremely helpful and straightforward over the phone and his prices are more than reasonable. Should have my order finalized tomorrow.

 

Sounds like a great plan...

Have fun in the SoCal forum..They're a great group..

 

After several phone calls to Clay... and enough "ooh, that too... what's my tab now?"... the next month should be worth a few pictures.

Currently waiting on: 6637 intake, MBRP exhaust, ISSpro guages, BP tuner, turbo, injectors, some bits to make those fit. Wheels will have to wait for next week...

still figuring out a leveling kit and retractable tonneau. The Roll-N-Lock looks rock solid, but I've seen a couple others that look nice too. Anyone have on they'd care to share their opinion on good bad or otherwise? I'd like something reliable and secure... I don't mind spending a few bucks, but would much rather only spend it once.

 

welcome to the site.... wouldnt mind seeing the "before" pictures or even the truck it self, we are heading to El durado park on sunday for a BBQ if you want to get out and meet the people behind the computer...

 

Thanks for the personal invite. If i can make it (one of the rare times I'm riding out of town with friends, instead of driving myself), I'll be there.

It's a little dirty right now - but it's sunny out... I'll go get a couple of pics with my phone for now. (Just getting moved into a new place - still looking for the charger for the real camera) :-)

 

Good to have another northwest county member.

Welcome to the group.

I'm just south of you in the SFV.

Thanks for the welcome, it's great to know there are actually members up in our area. Beautiful dog too. I had a Britney when I was little. :-)

Also - the wife came home early and needed attending to. I'll get pics of the truck up in the morning.
