    Welcome to the IHoP

    I even do those elsewhere, her car is certified. Just need a record of the service. They cost too much for that shit.

    **Is this under warranty?**

    It won't tell you either. Biggest scam in car audio atm. Shitty tasting kool aid if you ask me.

    Synthetic, nice car wash, 7 quarts and $40 ain't bad.

    Of course we ONLY go there for oil changes and warranty work. Oil changes are subsidized to be cheaper than anywhere else to get you in the door. Works for me. Free if it takes more than an hour as well.

    Help with 18" Box

    I thought we covered this with you already. Stop reading responses to one thing and applying them to another. Enclosure size and "underpowering" is not a game you want to play nor will it help. Way more things to play with first.

    Can't afford to buy the new ML63 or the new Chili pepper turbo though which creates a problem. The new SRT8 Jeep may even hold too much value in which case I am fuxored

    Big 3 Question

    You don't use a qualified car wash technician? You are getting screwed!!

    Towing capacity 5250lbs. It would mean I couldn't move my boat. ....or it means if shit happens I am liable.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I find it more stressful to generally bring my vehicles somewhere than to do it. Surprisingly though I think the local Volvo dealership is actually trustworthy in service anyway. They've passed all my tests so far.

    That's an Adreenalin package Explorer. All they did was drop a Coyote in it. They came with the 4.6L 34 valve. Find one of those and boost it and you'll be golden. I should have clarified, I truly meant Explorer as in sport ute. Of course any suspension goodies on it have to relate. Making me wonder though if a mini truck like that would work for me. teh boost is easy

    HLCD Help.

    Sums it up well, but basically they are the ONLY option for getting really loud and not sounding like shit. Of course without someone who can tune them they can still sound like shit.

    Aaron??? I want the same thing out do but drafting table hight. These are similar to the ones I had at a previous job that was tax payer funded: http://www.overstock...23/product.html Interesting. It is amazing how fucking biased everyone is to the Aeron. Drives me nuts. As for that chair did it hold up?

    I'm confused.... Me too obviously. 4wd/awd, can tow, is fast, and can handle. I'm not excited with what is on the market so I thought having something built might be fun. The ridiculousness of a HD truck that is dropped sounded fun...that and diesel power boosters are sweet. The first two are readily achievable. For the third you're either going to have to change your definition of "handles good" or you're going to have to do some work with the suspension. Especially with a diesel. Nah, 75% of the weight up high and over the front axle makes for fun. That just ups the challenge. '10 Powerstroke, EGR Delete, Exhaust, Intake, Tune, 525hp, 810ftlb at the wheels... I'll bet they make lowering kits for them... Your initial post is what got me thinking. Yep, I just keep reminding you to make you wonder about vehicles. It amuses me to see you ponder the multitude of choices for a year and go back and forth on them. I'm still waiting for you to break down and buy a Pantera. Well I just drove a lowered F150 and an F350. No fucking way is either of those going to work. Yikes the ML has ruined me. I realize part of it is size though. I just don't want something that fucking big. Why o why is there no SVT Explorer Pantera may be out if the Rossion M400's keep dropping in price.

    M My ML is 5200 or so empty. The diesel KR is just under 7k

I figured I'd have to be rid of the whole suspension and replace it with Airide/Beltech etc. You'll probably have to do more than that if you want ML63/Grand Cherokee SRT8 type handling, considering a fully dressed Powerstroke weighs in the neighborhood of 1,000 lbs. I don't expect miracles, lol. And I realize that it weighs a good 1800lbs more than what I have now. I don't regularly flail in corners anyways, but don't want a complete pooch.

    My 96 F150 drove WAY better in all aspects than my 02 Chevy. The Chevy was a little bit quieter and had nicer seats and a rear door. Otherwise net loss across the board. In particular when towing. The 5.3 was a piece of shit.

    Had they built this or done the Explorer this way I'd be in. http://www.stangtv.com/features/car-features/ford-explorer-sport-trac-gets-coyote-5-0-upgrade/

    If you still have the Silvy, your truck drives and handles like complete shit. Hell mine felt like it would get up on three wheels all the time. Had that Buick grandpa float down the road disconnected feeling. As for the bumps, the lack of bump soaking is due to being able to carry extra weight. I'm willing to remove that capability and butcher the truck in that regard.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I realize all the above. I just like the big rigs and am not a fan of the interiors of the 150's. I might have the same problem with the diesels but just wanted to ask if any cool ones had been seen.
