a friend of mine wants to do a double din hu with nav. what are some good options on the cheaper side?

Samsung Galaxy Tab?

great idea but i think he just wants to keep the system stock.

They probably also have a few generic branded mesh chairs there too. I've never been in a Staples/OfficeMax/Office Depot and not found a comfy office chair.

I recently got another office chair from Costco. It was under $200, and it's comfortable for me. For what it's worth, I spend an easy 10 hours+ on the computer everyday. You could see if they have a demo model out, costco is pretty good about stuff like that.

But if your budget is a bit over that, then I'm sure there's other chairs that are more comfortable.

ORLY, $600+ isn't really in the cards. There has to be an alternative.

Go down to Staples/OfficeMax/Office Depot and try an Office Star SPACE Air Grid. They're fairly comfy and affordable.

Thanks

something like this Sean?

Ever seen anyone make the equivalent of a powerstroke lightning?

Sort of have a wild hair to get a truck again, but don't need the truck portion. Just 4wd and power, but getting the big pig down to the ground so it'll handle would be the trick.

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.

by the way, I'v been driving my dads 4 door short bed for about 2 weeks now.

Talk about the roughest fucking ride ever.

edit: its a short bed.

Add 4 doors and make it a 2011+ and yep....assuming it is still functional and has some semblance of handling.

Yep, that would have to go. I'd still like to be able to tow my boat but the rest of the HD I wouldn't care abou.t

And I know you can fucking do it to newer Tahoe's, but they are such pieces of shit.

Other than the power of a chipped Powerstroke, getting 19 mpg on the highway, and the huge cabin I have been severely unimpressed driving it.

My truck soaks up the bumps much better, handles better, is just as peppy around town, more comfortable seating, interior looks better. And before my truck was lifted I could get over 18 on the highway and can still get 16 now.

Why diesel? You won't need the stump pulling torque on the street and the new Coyote's are reaching upwards of 1K with just forged internals and your choice of boost. If you keep your foot out of it, they are just as efficient as the diesel.

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.

Very true.

And if you want to play with turbos there's always the EcoBoost

Nah, 75% of the weight up high and over the front axle makes for fun.

I agree, but I am a redneck; driving farm trucks like they're race cars is kind of a requirement.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Racing on loose dirt is so fun!

[Tirefryr 1,742]

I really miss the 90s.
