Just thought i would introduce myself.. my name is Raul and i been around for a while but i dont think i ever really introduced myself... anyways i own a diesel & Offroad performance business and a construction business.. i own 2 SD, 1 F150 and 1 OBS gasser with over 300k on the original engine..

Welcome to the chapter Raul. I'd never seen your 150 before.....that's a good looking truck.

Those must be older pics of your white truck......still has the stacks

 

yah i dont think i have any real recent ones since i took off the stacks (damn CHP) but after hearing a couple of videos with them on i think im set to put them back on... plus my girl loves them

i got the F150 last November and i drive it 90% of the time but it doesn't get that much better fuel mileage than my white truck but it is easier to park and i can go through drive thurs with it lol

once the white truck sells ill be modding the F150 a lil bit..

-Raul

 

A little bit, huh? Riiiiiiiiight.........

 

hahaha.... i cant go too extreme with it... just a levling kit, wheels and tires, intake, exhaust and a tuner... thats it but i am going to paint all the chrome flat black....

were thinking of buying a house next year but if that doesnt go through im using the money to get a diesel excursion

 

I like the blacked out look.I'd like to find a blacked out Harley grille for mine at a decent price but I haven't been too lucky with that. Or maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.

 

what is wrong with the stacks? not tall enough? good luck with the sell....

 

nope they got me for modified exhaust system.... they were just looking to get me for something cause they also got me for no covers on my roof rack lights, tinted tail lights (even though they are recon DOT/ SAE approved) tinted windows.. this was on my way to Mammoth

-Raul

 

wow that is lame, i have had 4 roof rack and 2 bumper off road lights pointing forward with no covers for a long time and have even been pulled over and the cops didnt say anything...i also have 2 to each side and 2 pointing back on my rack with no covers...the cop was just jelous of your truck!

 

Welcome join Raul, nice to have you here with us too. That really sucks about the tickets, that is the main source of income for that smaller city so they take advanatage when they can.

 

How else would California make money if not by issuing tickets to tax paying americans.

 

lol i just got a 80 dollor parking ticket when there was no sign posted for at least 1/4 block saying i couldnt park there after 3.. it was 3:03 exactly when i walked out and i already had a ticket with no ticket guy in sight.. and there was a tow truck ready to tow it... LAME!

 

$80?

Man.....that's a steep one. Was it for street sweeping?

 

nope it was for traffic i guess.. it was on topanga cyn blvd

 

Villaraigosa's LAPD is getting tough on those that park on heavily-traveled throughways during "rush hours". It's his move to speed up traffic and alleviate traffic congestion.

It seems to be working, as traffic seems to be better than it once was here in the Valley..

Topanga certainly qualifies as a throughway, and they've done a pretty-good job of posting the times that the tow-away zones exist for those parked there.

Sorry you got a ticket, but it's kinda' difficult to say, "You didn't know....."
