Wow. You guys are good! Usually, I have to actually date a woman to ruin her. You've done it in less than a week just by showing her some shiny bobbles!

finally got the skyjacker leveling springs? installed was quite a job. If anyone buy these plan on adding taller blocks on the rear, they lifted it past level will post pics later, replace entire brake line fuel line bundle last week, took 4 time shipping and a month from ford dealer to get one that wasnt bent, its kinda funny that the new one had a coated brake line and all stainess fuel lines, thats all for now cause im broke, exhaust in next cause got bolt broke off in head so one more big job, then i think its will be perfect, for me anyway

Put in my new center console with the iPad dock/iphone dock. Replaced 7 inch monitor in rear with a 20 inch DVD player monitor. Installed another PPI amp to push all 6 speakers and second PPI amp for the subs in the Barn Door. Now I can play music while the kids listen and watch the movie in the rear or I can play a movie form my Pioneer head unit or my iPad. Makes it mush more comfortable on long drives to have the kids with head phones on while I can listen to my music. Also can hook the play station up to the rear monitor for them to play or be able to play Blu-ray disc! Also had a 200w power inverter installed in the custom console.

OK - so explain to me - the HID conversion replaces only the wiring and bulbs? And so the new bulb - once wired - is routed into the actual headlight housing - which BTW, those HD are too awesome and now I have to go look that up. I need better headlights. Living in the country and driving at night is taking your life in your hands around here. Too many critters! Ask my vette.

If I replace the grill, I've gotta do the lights. Oh Lord!
HID (High Intensity Discharge) conversions are new HID bulbs with the wiring along with ballasts. Ballasts help keep a steady current/voltage to the bulbs. With my setup, 4300K is a very nice bright white color(some people like bluer tones but they don't work to good for vision IMO, my old digital HID's were 8000K) I have the 55W hi/lows...with this I have one bulb with two filaments in them, and 2 wires/2 ballasts connected to each bulb, then for the fogs they each require 1 bulb/ballast each. I have a total of 4 bulbs but 6 ballasts.

I got my HD housings off of Amazon, and got the HID from JAT and had everything done at once so I could adjust the headlights properly.

This is the grill I'll be getting from RBP Rolling Big Power - Diesel Performance I love the black mesh w/rivets...will look good when I have my simulated beadlock rims

Great weather in central Illinois today. Sneaked out to wash the EX. As I finished my wife shows up with her mustang. Now it gets a bath too. Don't want her to feel neglected!

Today I bought a huge sub box with two 12" subs in it, and an amp to drive it, at a local shop, called the bargain basement, that sells used stuff . I also bought 6 quarts of Mobil1 and a K&N oil filter. Oh yea one more thing, three Rain-X Latitude wiper blades, the last owner had really crappy wiper blades on there.

Yesterday I bought two power lock actuators and a Flowmaster Super 44 Muffler.

That is a VERY dangerous precedent that you're trying to set!

The one universal constant to date is that the guy gets the garage!!!!
