  1. I got off the phone with Metco just now and ordered another 8 rib pully to match this one. Of course after 15 min of pulling the trigger now I am wondering if it looks retarded to you guys having a wider pulley then the belt? I can't see any harm to having a wider pulley. I just don't think it looks to good. I also noticed the guy who had these parts used a 8 rib tensioner pulley. IDK what do you guys think?

     

    Edit: Delete this as I cant upload the pic as its to big for this site.

  2. I have a GPS tracker in my Trans Am... Alarm goes off and it calls me. I can set up a geo fence speed limit etc etc. I can actually talk to and listen to the person in mine.

     

    this should give you an idea

    I like that! I am going to look into something like that. As far as the battery dying I am not that worried as I drive the truck daily and I know from fishing last week my buddy drove my truck from the launch ramp and left the park lights on and they shut off automatic.

  3. I just ordered the handle off a crew cab without the cylinder lock. Three times now in three years all getting access from the cylinder lock, over it. I know if they want it bad enough they will get it. I just want it as hard as possible. I wish our gun laws out here were not so f'ed up, Cali is the absolute worst state when regarding fire arms.

  4. Damn...you got soooo lucky...I installed a rear door handle on my truck ...which got rid of the lock cylinder...a couple kill switches here and there...a 9mm on my hip..and if they some how take it...what more can you do..that's what insurance is for..

     

    Great idea, If I don't hook up the key stuff can they still get in? Do the thief's need access to the cylinder lock hole to get in to open it? I only say because I just had the new handle painted. I was thinking if I didn't hook up the lock cylinder and didn't attach the bar it might be ok? I do like your way best and probably go that rout.

  5. Because he is identifying the people who tried to steal his truck he didn't use any racist terms or things of that nature. What's the big deal? When a cop asks for a description, hes not gonna day 2 guys, he's gonna say 2 hispanic males, hair style, clothing, tattoos etc. don't be so quick to play the racist card

     

    Exactly. I am hoping I or someone else spots the truck. It had dealer plates on it but could not recognize the dealer besides it having three cursive letters on it. I'm sure that plate is off by now.

     

    Thanks for the ideas guys. I am going to put some of these to use. I have talked to my mechanic and he has some good ideas on killing the electrical to fuel pump. Is an air horn doable to add to an alarm?

     

    The alarm I have is a good one, or was for it's time 8 years ago. It has a kill to the ignition. Thefts have some sort of relay under my hood, tossing one of mine out.

  6. Yesterday morning at my work parking lot around 9:45 am two Hispanic's in a 03'-07' Black Chevy single cab short bed with SS badges and paper plates almost got my baby. I heard my alarm in my office, didn't take it as a big deal. Started walking to where the truck was parked and heard the motor fire up. I was like wtf in my head. Started running over to were I can see the hood open. Guy in the truck spots me running over and gets in there getaway truck wile I am literary trying to kick the getaway truck. If I was seconds later my truck would have been gone. They broke in with a screwdriver. Looks like the hit the key cylinder out, broke my ignition, got past my viper alarm and had some sort of relay under the hood. I would take a pic but the cops took it with them after I filed a report. These guys were good. Alarm was not activated longer then a minute. Anyone got any tips on helping stop this? I was thinking a hood lock would be a good start. Our handles where the lock cylinder is is made of plastic, weak! This is the third attempt in the last three years on my truck. All three times I was lucky enough to hear my alarm and scare them off.

  7. Flat back does not make it anything close to a rat rod.

     

     

     

     

    anyways, to the OP, just curious if it's a vinyl wrap or actual paint job, and how it's holding up? I know satin black is usually a PITA to clean.

     

    Its painted. Pain in the ass because the truck is my daily driver to keep it clean. Paint holds up good, we shot it with PCL. I have seen others that look faded or primer like after a while.

  8. I bought my SS new. If i was in the market for a truck, i would look for something EXACTLY like what i already have. I would SO buy this truck all over again. :cool:

     

    Me too! I feel exactly the same. My truck is eight years old and has been my DD since new, nothing out there worth the price to replace her. Shit a Suburban is 60k loaded now a days. Just throw some more money at the SS and see if that work lol.

  9. Thanks guys! Next on the list is to bring the rear down 1" and the front 3/4".

     

    Truck looks great man! Is that plasti-dip on the whole truck?! J/K

    Where di you end up getting them and how much?

    What kinda tires and size?

     

    Got the rims and tires from a local tire shop here. I can give you his info if you like. Tires were $760 and the rims were $760 including install. I figure I can sell my stocks to almost cover the new rims.

  10. I know its not a JL, but my Alpine V12 works wonders for my interior speakers.

     

    I'll look into the Alpine stuff. I am not set on JL but thought I would have my amps match. Trying not to go to crazy on the amp so was thinking about this one in the link but am not sure if it will power my new Focal's and plan on getting some 6"x9" Infinity Kappa 3 ways in the rear
