Yeah, sure is...hey I never claimed to be the cool guy of the forum! I openly admit that at times (and hey, I guess that this is one of them) I truly am Mr. Lame. I accept my shortcomings w/open arms.

Since you're so quick to knock on this Brotha, any suggestions for where to get a more 'hip' frame? I have never even looked or even thought about my plate frame b4 you brought this up. I mean this truck in Oct. 07 when I purchased it brand new was stickered at 34.9K and I wrote them a check for $22,368 & drove off the lot, so I'll rep this dealership till the day I die!

LOL, that's just the thing...I've got a "Kodak Color Science" camera that I got the package w/the printer and picture film paper kit for like $400+ bills so I've got the camera. Gave it to my parents tho cuz my 'baby' sister went on her first dance (Valentine's Dance, 2nite at school) and my mom wanted, of course, to take the best (and most!) pics possible.

And come on, stop complaining Ty...the camera phone pics ain't all that bad quality. You know you've seen A LOT worse on this board!!

Oh, and the badges won't be installed until Monday afternoon when I can get the truck over to my buddies heated garage so that I don't run into problems w/the emblems not sticking due to the cold. It's advised that they be applied in temps that are 60 degrees or warmer; and in Ohio right now, that is a long, far off dream!

Ty

no, I was actually going to say that it is very clear for a camera phone, I was just giving you crap for not getting the stuff done, and not posting pics *cough, cough, whitecrystal*

The dealer stickers are usually the first thing that come off, mostly because they try to screw and don't pay you to have the stickers on there, but I guess in your case, they are okay. I just didn't know how you felt about the dealer.

now where are the pics? (kiding...)

Thanks 05Super! I think that once the badges are installed I'm gonna be done putting money into my ride (atleast that's what I'm telling myslef). If I go w/anything else after that, the next immediate thing would either be a bedrug or Line-X. Not sure which route I would want to go...once again I'm on the fence when it comes to moddin my truck...suprise, surprise!!

P.S.
Looked thru your gallery and see that you got some pretty sweet Tats on you! I've got 3 of my own and am very particular about what I ink on my bod, but yours look really tight.

Yukon...where the heck is that cuz I see that pic where your ride and pretty much everything around it is white and covered in snow?!

LovetheTide

Looks real good man! You've done a bunch of stuff to it lately and its paying off from what I can see in your ****ty pics.

How do you like the AF1? What kind of gains can you feel?

Oh yea, get a bedrug! :drool:

dre23

Not getting stuff done?! I just got the friggin CAI and exhaust via Fedex on Friday on had them installed on Saturday, and had pics up on the board early, early Sunday morning (today). That's gotta be some sorta record or something, & I think that is pretty day'am good timing for getting stuff done Tyler!! LOL

The dealer tags just never crossed my mind as I've kinda been a "little" busy lately (don't know if you've seen my "life or death, multiple surgery/in the hospital for all of December thread" ) but now that you mention it, you're right...I ain't gettin nothin for advertising for them so why am I doing it? Good point. Where can I get some generic plate brackets from? Or do those dealer stickers just peal off?

05 super

all my ink is around 9-10 years old. my next tat will be a portrait of my 2 year old daughter. the yukon is right above british columbia which is right above washington state. i am about 5 miles over the b.c. border.

x2 with tide on the bedrug.

once again, lookin good.

LovetheTide

What the **** is a AIC? Air is cold intake? It's CAI dude.

dre23

Oh, I know you are not talking Tide. From the last pics that you posted if I recall, from the 'focus' (or lack there of) of the pics of your truck, it looked like you were busy jackhamering concrete when you took them! But yeah, I would certainly much rather show you guys shizity pics any day over a crappy truck (and no, I'm not implying that you've got a crappy truck Tide, cuz you know I'm lovin ur ride!)

As for the AF1, it is 1am Sunday morning here and I have had it installed since 5pm Saturday evening so not a whole lotta test time, but from the little driving that I did do, I wish that I were born with a genetic mutation so that I could give it 3 thumbs up! LOL!!

As I said I had the K&N series 63 which I had no immediate probs with, but after speaking w/Mike Troyers (who, yes, does have a monetary investment to make my selling AF1) I felt that the risk of even possibly running lean (and doing so w/out knowing it b/c it would run so little lean that it wouldn't throw a code) that I felt it was an easy decision to make. If it weren't for that possibility of on our 3V (freaking Ford and their freaking 3V engines!) that I might run lean, I absolutely loved my K&N and would not have changed.

Now the combo of adding the Roush Off Road Exhaust @ the same time as the AF1 as I said in my prev. posts is like night and day! Since I did them both at the same time I can't really tell what is actually contributing what, or if they're working in a synergystic realtionship (you know 1+1=3, sortof thing) but it is certainly quite a large difference (I almost want to say "Huge difference" over when I dropped my truck off at the shop and had the K&N and Flowmaster exhaust and when I picked it up and the changes were done). If I had to put my money down tho, I would say that although they are working together, I would say that the new exhaust is making more of a positive difference than the CAI is. My prev. Flowmaster exhaust kit tubes were not mandrel bent (the shop just made me a set w/a Flowmaster muffler) so I think that that would make a considerable difference.

dre23

WOW!!!

And I've been saying and writing it wrong this entire thread and I knew that it is CAI...I have NO IDEA where I got AIC (unless I was "dyslexically"...I know that's not a word...thinking "Air Intake Cold") LOL. Too many pain meds for Dre today...
