Yes, Its tuff...But I ignore the trouble and smile. I must keep it fresh in my head how blessed and lucky we are. Wifey is good, walking around gingerly but moving around.And as for the baby, he is making it tuff for me to stay fresh for wk for the 3rd shift. I am avg 3hrs of sleep since he has come home But we will manage. I understand its tuff on the lil guy also.

We are working and feeling it all out to find a sweet spot for everything to go smooth and adj to all the changes. Some how some way I even managed to go to the gym ... Its been like 2mo. But like I said, we will find a place for everything in our lives where all will fit and be the new norm. Thanks for asking brotha

ha...I don't correct stuff like that...it's early! I only correct when someone misspells something that I can tell they don't realize they made the mistake...figured better to be corrected by me than by a boss or something.

Glad to hear all is well...dude, before you know it, it'll be a year from now and the baby will be sleeping all night and wifey will be good.

I'm sure you will!
GP, for sure...I always thought that pedals can't be seen so who cares...but having had them now for a year, I'd REALLY miss them if I didn't have them. Nicely done!

the reservoir condoms..meh...but at least adds some color to the bay! Trying to sell the wheels again, huh??!

That is exactly what I was trying to do with the SPOON sock covers...Nothing biggie just adding color and nice coverings. As for the pedals, they are awesome looking and YES u do see em as soon as u open the doors u have no choice...like BLING! And as for the wheels... 'Testing Waters" so see what I may real in. But u already know I am in no rush and don't care if I keep em

I did finish everything on my check list...These small add ons will just accessories. As for the audio, that was the one thing I feel short of accomplishing. But I am NOT giving up just yet.

Grrrr...idk dude about these c/o. I personally think the ride is good and all but all I know is I want the noise gone! Its not what I paid for nor anyone should expect that poor of quality in such short time. Like I said, I just haven't had the time to go back and pull the entire system out. Or at least trying to find a option but does not look to be any other way at this point. So, more news coming soon re: the clunking coil over. The end result maybe getting it fixed under warranty and keeping them or fixing/replacing the bad c/o under warranty & looking at TEIN STREET BASICS to replace. ~ just seems to be a waste of time and money when seeing the BIG pic.


CHADUP Jeremy!

But being short sighted and not wanting to put in the work and getting stuck with the product you're having trouble with might not be good either. Just saying.

Just focus on THAT coil...make sure the top 2 bolts are nice and tight...the 14MM's...my fiancee's was clunking here and there and one of the top bolts had gotten slightly loose.

That was the first thing we did approx a week or 2 ago. Removed the seat and checked the top bolts and lifted her up and buttoned and re buttoned any bolts on all links and suspension. But something I heard was grease or lack of could be a noisy issue. Did not look or make sure any links had grease. I highly doubt it for some reason its going to be no grease. But whata hey.

Just twist off the old shift knob.

I thought I was going to break it too on my first go.

First time I tried to install my aluminum shift knob I made, I gave up lol

When I installed my iSimple, I have gotten a lot stronger and it twisted off soooo easily lol

Mine is an 04 too so it probably has never been taken off all those years.

Yeah, mine is a 06 but nevertheless I am sure just as stuck. I will give it a go with a lil more umpff w/o being scared of it breaking. So, to remove it you stil turn LEFT, correct? Just making sure since I know sometimes manufactures will have some part(s) that is opposite for some reason.

That is were I got it from. I have not installed em yet but the decal itself looks great and awesome quality and cut. (FYI~ That is a MOTOROLA RAZR cell phone pic...) So, just imagine.

Post pics once you install them. If they fit good I'll order some myself.

Jay, the guys are right-counter clockwise is the way to turn it. You won't hurt it, just give it a hard turn and install your other one.

Just found out earlier today talking back and fourth with him by email, he happens to be a fellow member. I just forgot his AZ member name, it's kinda long, something like 07tlswdptl...something like that. Nice whip tho! Cool ass guy. After I install the decal I am sending a pic or 2 and he will post my pic on his auctions also to help buyers see on a different color rather then his WDP TL only.
