2010 Detroit Auto show

Poor little SmartCar.... We almost had to get a can-opener to get the boys out.










Yes, these boys are the combined weight of over 600 pounds!









I swear there is a shifter between their legs somewhere.

The scariest part about this is that the saleman tried to tell us that a SmartCar would be fine for Derek and Keith to drive together. The can not even reach the shifter with both of them in the vehicle together. The max vehicle weight per the salesman was 400 pounds " but don't worry about that" right... What a douche-bag!

FJ40 work

Here is the FJ40 without the powertrain (engine, transmission, and transfer case). Next is to get the suspension all upgraded!

Woo, hoo bruiser cruiser #2

Here is the beast!! It needs a lot of work, but it will be super sweet when it is all done. By the way, I not keeping it yellow. I am also not going to use it for a short school bus or a taxi cab...

For anyone that knows me at all knows that I have wanted a Land Cruiser for about 10 years and finally got up the guts to buy one. I have great sentimental ties to this truck, my dad had one when I was a kid and really had lots of fun in that truck. I plan to take the next generation of the kids for rides in the woods and camping in this truck when it is all done.

I road on the back of Derek's bike to North Carolina to get it. Nice 14 hour bike ride. I don't like riding bitch, it is boring.

I will add more about the FJ40 updates later.

AR 15 with optics

So here is my new AR15 all done up with optics the EOTech 557 with 3X flip-to-side. Super Sweet!

Upgrades to the bike

HID and front and rear Progressive lowering springs. I am pretty sure that these two items might be my favorite upgrades. I can actually touch flat-footed and it is great.

So the Vance and Hines pipes are surprisingly loud. So now I have an angry Honda!

So here is most of the listed previous bike upgrades. I didn't get the intake in in time for this major tear-down. So the intake is not on the bike yet and when I get done with school it will be added and the bike will be all done! Well, at least for this year.

Also, as requested here is a video of Derek's bike (before it was stolen) so now you can really see the bike and his crazy lights.

I am trying not to completely loose faith in people...

So two weekends ago Derek's bike got 6K worth of damage during an attempted theft. These stupid thieves were so stupid that they didn't even get a van that was big enough to fit the bike in the back completely. These brillant thieves tried to stuff Derek's more then 8 ft bike into the back of a cleaned out caravan. So sadly after sometime them trying to push the bike into the van they were not even close to being able to get the bike in the van they just left the bike 1/2 way into the van flipped up side down. The bastards didn't even turn off the van they just took off.

I don't understand people, I always though that theft was one of the most ridicules crimes, but this was even worst, they didn't even get the bike. These men (assuming they were men) just damaged the hell out of Derek's bike then left.

It is just so heart breaking because Derek's bike was so clean, just a couple weeks after a beautiful paint job and hours of maintenance work being completed. Now the bike will have to be repainted and many other listed repairs. It is just upsetting, I need to get out of the ghetto, I hate where I live. I am okay with Michigan for now, but I need to get a way from Belleville. The opened up this city hugely to low income housing and a place that was cheep and okay to live at has turned into nothing but total pieces of shit!

So sorry to be so negative, but this really just pissed me off!

Impatiently waiting for parts

So Derek and I are currently in the process of "pimping my ride" and I am getting very irritated with all the vendors and how stinking slow they are!!

So comming soon to a Honda VTX 1300C near you...

-Thunder, K/N filter air intake

-jet kit for carborator

-new Vance and Hine pipes

-Progressive lowering spings (I will be able to touch flat footed!!)

-HID headlight

-Metzler tires with an upgrade to a 200 rear tire

So here is a couple before pictures and hopefully VERY soon I will post some after pictures and maybe video with the new sounding pipes.
