SONIC Gets a LIFT! Thanks Allpro!

Thanks to the good folks at Allpro offering a 10% discount I decided to take the plunge.

Just got off the phone with Terry and am picking up front coilovers with adjustable resovior, rear shocks with adjustable resovoir, rear springs, upper and lower rear links, and 2 skid plates. WOOO HOOO :

I thought I would share that with you

I was waiting for a deal. I like the good stuff, but I hate paying retail. I have accounts at all the ATV supply shops and auto parts warehouses in town, have a buddy that owns a tire dealer, another who is a powdercoater, and do all my own installation, welding, etc. Allpro finally came through with an awesome discount and Terry is even tweaking the shipping (He talked me into skids since it would put the order close enough to 200lbs to fudge it.)
I added the vent visors to the side windows today and am trying to locate my bud who tints windows for the blackout treatment. Broke? You bet, but I am lovin every minute of it!

I have alot of pics from past trips, I need to figure out how to upload them somewhere. BTW I am leaving Sonic on the couch. He will be watching us leave and making snot rainbows on the front window. I will be bringing the YFZ450 though.

Re: SONIC Gets a LIFT! Thanks Allpro!

Really? You do windows?


I have not touched the RV in 3 months and it has been sitting under a telephone wire...

This is no admirable job. Also a few things you should know.

I have my own HMO. Duct tape, crazy glue, and boo boo spray is the extent of it. If your finger falls off, you can have any two, but not all 3.

Most jobs around here only pay $1 Tooth fairy pays $1 Dogcrap duty $1
Taking out trash $1 Any combination of jobs in any given day....$1

If you loose a tooth on a day that you did chores, I suggest you hang on to it for a rainy day.

If you are smaller than Ryan, you get all his old stuff. Some if not most of it was Eddies at one time. He is only 4 so you may be exempt on height / weight, but if you fit on his old quad, you have to ride it.

The rooms are themed around here. Eddie has the Pirate room, Ryan's is the Jungle room, and I have the Hotwheels room. Mom gets the rest of the house which is done in family pictures, tasteless horse nicknacks and seasonal crap. If and when we get the garage enclosed, you will have to pick a theme, and sleep in your FJ.

Anyone touching the refrigerator better be putting back something I left out.
No exceptions.

Bedtime is 8:00, unless you are going to Scouts or Soccer that night and got home late. And no, I will not read Barney (except for the one Halloween book and I am throwing that out this week).

You can however watch any stupid mindless BS you want on TV as long as it is not an "adult" show. Mom will be in charge of that, and laundry, and most meals.

All presents for birthdays, Christmas, and friends birthdays MUST come out of the shed. No exceptions (unless mom picks it out and says Ryan got it for you) The shed will be filled off season off Target's back aisle so don't be expecting anything "Hot"

Other than that all is well, send me a pic and a quick bio, and we'll see what we can do.

Re: SONIC Gets a LIFT! Thanks Allpro!

For photo uploading I've been playing with FilmLoop: Create photo slideshows, Share, View I got the program link off of the Toyota Trail Teams website ( Toyota.com : Vehicles : FJ Cruiser : Bulletin ) and its a pretty cool free setup so far, might be worth a look.
On the vent visors you installed, did you use the stick on or slide in type? I've been debating a set, do you like them so far?

I held out for the in the channel type. I really liked the instal (2 minutes) and so far they seem to work well. They line up with the blacked out section of the rear windows, so it looks perfectly normal (if not kinda Gangsta).

Thanks for the link, I have some of those professional Moab shots I was waiting for, and it blows to have to resize them and dump old photos to get enough space to load them on here.

Re: SONIC Gets a LIFT! Thanks Allpro!

I can hang with the HMO. I'll take the pirate room. And you say I have the consult the misses on what adult movies I watch? Why, does she want to watch too?

I have lost my baby teeth long ago, so no money in that. Unless I get out of line and you crack me in the mouth, which if that's the case, I can rule out the dollar right there.

I usually take the leaf blower the the dog crap around here and blow it into the neighbor's pool, they annoy me. I can do my own laundry.

Judging by the pic of the 4 wheeler, I suspect you have some kick ass stuff in the shed, so I don't mind getting presents from it. I'll take off-season Target stuff anytime, eventually the good stuff winds up back there anyway.

When can I move in?

Re: SONIC Gets a LIFT! Thanks Allpro!

My neighbor used to throw dog crap on our trampoline...I got him.

One day his cooler was leaking off the roof real bad (it actually was dripping for a month, but it was on my side and I wasn't telling him because it was f*cking up his fascia and I thought it was funny)...anyways, I took the hose and sprayed into the bird blocking on the end of the house for about half an hour....I was laughing so hard I almost sharted myself.

There was this endless circuis of carpet guys and drywall guys and painters....it was priceless.
