I see what you did there.

Took my Super Duty for a Tint match quote, probably get it done this week at 20%.

I need the front two windows and the rear cab window.

Got mine tinted today also...15% all the way around...Unfortunately I had purchased a kit from snap tint, but no one would install it. So I have an extra full set for a 2003 that I will be throwing in the for sale section!! Pics to follow in a couple of days, stuck on night shift this week.

A little here, a little there and before you know it, you are done. Don't make it all one ugly job, spread the fun out for a few days.

The glow plug system sort of sucks , and minor things fail but it is a sound car. Easy to work on as well, and relatively cheap to maintain.

For all things TDI
I'll definitely check it out! Thanks for the input!!

I'm melting!!! other then the A/C in my office freezing me out in the morning it's been a shorts, tee shirt and sweat kinda day. Smoke from a large wildfire up north is moving in making this hazy and if it keeps up air quality will go to crap. I don't remember it being this hot for so many days in a row ever before.

Broke a record today with the official high being 83F. I'm about to take a cold shower and go watch TV in my basement where it's cool.

A little bit dirty I guess
That's not bad at all, had 300 hrs on the fuel filters in my work truck, and they came out BLACK..

I had to pick up out TT from the RV repair place and relocate it to storage. We had the fancy fans put in place of the regular roof vents. Upon the installation found dry rot up top due to leaking around the old vents......ugh...

Modded B springs held the load much better than the stockers especially considering my bars weren't hooked up.

Bit the bullet and ordered the RIFFRAFF billet compressor wheel for my turbo, along with the rebuild kit and some other stuff, now just wanting for another box on the porch. Maybe I'll get it before the wife sees it this time... and says "WTF is it this time???"

I finally completed my rear spring swap. I now have new Pro Comp 22415 5" lift springs on the rear of my Ex with new shackles and no factory 2" block anymore. I gained 2 1/4" of lift over where it was pre-swap. It has a little rake once again. I will get final numbers after everything settles in.

Well they are a cheap set, $200 for the pair, up close inspection they have minor imperfections. And yep, I have the 32 ft camper hooked right now. Going on a 6-700 mile found trip. So I'll know how they are by the time I get back. So far I like them. On my old tow mirrors I had the little round spot mirrors to aid in seeing. Idk if I'll need them on this one.
