  1. Remember, don't think JUST bed liners. He can spray anything you think you might want a "Hard Coat" on. I'm having him do my dogs' cage pans to prevent them from scratching theough or cracking. He can do boat hulls, other car parts, etc. He also does undercoating with a different product. No, it's not spray can. It's a hard coat as well. It's not the stuff that stays soft and is weakend by petroleum products. If anyone is interested, Alligator Bob's motorcycle seats is next door. He did a seat for one of the bike shows on Discovery/TLC. It was either American chopper or Biker Build off. He does awesome work. He may be able to do other vehicle stuff(head rests). Picture charcoal gray crocodile haed rests with the SS logo
  2. I'll try to remember to call him tomorrow and ask. I can't see it being more than 20 pounds. A gallon of water is 8lbs.
  3. It's actually Spray tech(Armorthane).http://www.spraytech-wi.com/ He does it in 3 coats instead of one heavy coat like alot of guys do. He also uses a sealer to prevent fading. My truck was done by the previous owner in Rhino Liner and it has fading. 35% is correct to match it. I'll PM prices to anyone who asks.
  4. I,ve got a GTG set up in Northern IL on July 18th. If you could make it that would be great. Anyone else you could suggest if yuo can't make it?
  5. WEDDING? You seen one guy lose his life you've seen em all. Where are your priorities? Oh well, we'll have a moment of silence for the groom and drink for you
  6. I have a local shop set up in Lake Villa, IL (60046)that does paint matched, spray-in bedliners. He can do a bed in3-4 hours. Let me know soon if you want yours done so we can try to fit as many in as possible. He said we can use the shop all day Saturday to do what we want. He may have a 2 post lift by then. He currently has a 4 post lift, but it's a little hard to get a truck on due to wheel base. I also have my buddy lined up to do professional window tinting. He's the best in the area. I plan to hang out here most of the day. BBQ, baggo, tunes, and any minor mods.(Sorry, no big stuff, I'd like to get out and do something that night.) There is alot to do around here later that night. Wilmot Raceway (clay oval) is doing Enduro Racing that night. They get 40-50 cars out on the track and race. As cars break down or crash, they are left on the track as obstacles. Great Lakes Dragaway is 30mins. away. They are doing Summit racing series bracket racing that night. Blarney Island is a bar in the middle of the lake that is having a "Spin Doctor's" concert that night. This requires tix, so I think I'd have to know a little in advance to plan this. There are a couple crruze-in's, as well as ALOT of bars. Some of this stuff is kid friendly. If anyone plans to bring the family, the shop is 10mins. from Six Flags Great America, Key Lime Cove indoor waterpark/hotel, and Gurnee Mills outlet mall. You may want think about coming in Friday for this stuff, or plan on staying through Sunday as all the stuff I have planned is for Saturday. There are some area hotels, but I'll have to check prices. Some are kinda cheezy, but as you get closer to Six Flags they get nicer.O f course you get what you pay for. There are also some campgrounds in the area if anyone is interested in roughin it.(sorry, wife was little uncomfortable with "strangers" sleepin at the house) Please start letting me know who's DEFINATELY coming, and if you think you will be bringing wife and/or kids. This will help planning the evening events(kid friendly or not).
  7. I need to talk to Chris a little more. 616 of 933 was tryin to plan July 18th which is what I was tryin to plan. I might be able to switch it to the June meet, but only if Chris and his sound install guy want to do it up in Lake Villa. Then we could do bedliners and tints as well. We are also about 20 mins. from Wilmot Raceway which is a cool little dirt track to go to Sat. night for a little fun.(watching, not racing)
  8. Don't suppose you want to wait til July 18th? I was tryin to work something out, but haven't heard back from the guy that started that thread. I might be able to set something up for June 27th instead. I've got a local shop that does spray in bed liners that was going to let us use his place and offer deals on bed liners and a friend of mine is a pro window tinter. This is northern IL near the Chain o'Lakes. I don't know where your install is, but we can do it here.
  9. I prefer the one with the hamsters driving the KIA. "FRONT, BACK SIDE TO SIDE!"
  10. 616----Sent you a PM. Did you get it?
  11. Now that Zippy has moved to Vegas, who is the closest tuner to Northern Illinois? Possible GTG appearence.
  12. I was just thinkin a little extra somthin to surprise the stangs and tuners. 75-100 shot. I want to hide the purge valve so they don't know what I have. I don't plan on running it every weekend at the strip. I just want to make sure that I'm running the safest set-up so I don't hurt anything.
  13. Looking at NOS systems. I get that you arm the system and purge it. Once this is done when does the shot kick in? I know it activates after a certain throttle percentage. Does it also work off the RPM's? Does it kick in right off the start? What does it do when the truck shifts? Which is better for cost and performance, wet or dry? Any suggestions on the best bang for the buck?
  14. Possibly. Let me look at my calender, check with the wife and so on. I've got a 2 car with lots of tools, pool, hot tub, basement with bar, pool table , and air hockey. About 10 mins from Wisconsin border. It's definately going on the 27th of June right? I wnat to be positive, and make sure we're not stepping on someone elses GTG in the closer states.
  15. Most of those aren't real "Lee's". There is a guy in Lake Villa that buys any old charger and makes them look like "Lee's". He's on Grand Ave.
  16. Union Grove dragway is just over the border in Wis. I'm probably in, but it's a little far off to know for sure.
  17. U passed me already. After the last GTG at Brent's I lost some mileage and I was waiting to see if the PCM relearned itself B4 sending it back to Mike.
  18. I want to start replacing the entire stereo. I have stock Bose system. I want to do this one component at a time. I don't know enough about the Bose amp and speaker system. Can I replace the speakers before I replace the Bose amp? I'm going to do a new head unit and I don't care if I lose the door chime. Do I still need that $100 harness? I'm basically looking for a road map on what to replace in what order so I don't have to go out and drop $2k all at once. PS Chris, this is right up your alley.

    Idle Issues

    What do you mean by "tune up"? List everything you did so we can get a better handle on it.
  20. That's HOT!(pun intended) How much? Is it the same price for all styles? I know most guys don't want to post prices, but I think you need to or you'll be answering 100 pm's a day.
  21. Let me know when and where I can meet you. Possibly right at 355 and 80 on your way to Brent's house. I have to get this tune tweaked. I need my fuel mileage back.
  22. what cladding r u using on the back doors?
