I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Been too damn long since I was on here. I just ordered some OEM Rubicon flares for my Jeep to replace the faded ass stockers and they are 1" wider. Found a great price on the discontinued ARC spark plug cover. If they have them in stock I will pull the trigger and then that is it for March. Hopefully I can get the other ARC stuff in April. Turbo, etc ain't gonna happen till after Carlisle in reality. But whatever...

No way? Single?!?!? I have only been back once since Xmas and it was this past weekend for one night. Been too damn busy with 9 credits and a full time job this semester. Thank God I will be done in June and never go back to school again!!! You should come down the weekend of Carlisle if you dont have set plans already. Dustin from Tampa, my brother, a bunch of Pittsburgh people are coming to stay at my new house. Oh yeah and speaking of that....haha....just bought a house! Moving in 1st weekend in May. Now you guys know why I still have the stock turbo after all these years. Been saving EVERYTHING I could to get a place like this. Here is a pic from the realor's website. HUGE garage!!! 1900 sq ft minus the huge basement. Brand new construction. Mostly brick. Granite, hardwood, tile, whirlpool tub, all the goodies!

New Rubicon flares installed this past Saturday on the Jeep to replace the faded and cracked stockers. They still look OEM but are 1" wider for a bit more coverage, are smooth for easier cleaning, and dont fade like the regular ones. Adding rocker gaurds to protect the tub and removing those front flare extentions and then that is it for this thing this year. Then back to the EVO (hopefully) for all sorts of goodies (unless the house purchase ruins that)!!!

Alright well my DS HID is out. wtf? Factory 3400K bulb is $138 at the dealer!!! So decided to go with both new front bulbs and after some reading went with Philips Ultinon 6000K. Figured that should look sick with my yellow fogs. Thoughts on this? Got them on Ebay for not much more than one factory bulb. :)

^Cool. So you looked into it then.

Oh by the way I totally trashed the rear axle in my Jeep last weekend. Not just the shaft but the gears, bearings, brake, etc. haha! So now it is do I upgrade to a stonger axle or just get a cheap replacement for what is on there and put the money into my EVO? I was planning on 2010 being all about the house and EVO so might just stick with that. I want more power!!!
