very familiar with it
I always keep my coffee cup on the dash. it's somehow less likely to spill there
God invented bench seats because he hadn't perfected cupholders yet.
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;51580484]Oh yeah that's my second favorite dodge truck. The early Warlock is my favorite favorite. :v:

I really dont like the idea of lifting a warlock. that's a truck that deserves to sit low on a set of meaty hoosiers
I mounted my tablet over the clock/radio because fuck this brokenass manual tuner and its brokenass presets
still sounds like shit though, should have replaced the speakers before I dashcapped
:hammered:

it looks about as comfortable in its existence as the CUCV does.

Yeah, that was the first picture I found of the front end I like though. They aren't so bad lifted anyway -- the pseudo-Warlock in Justified looked (RIP) pretty damn cool.

The wheels just need to fill out the wells and it looks fine.

We still have one of our historic squad car's. It's some Ford Galaxy. The bench seat doesn't latch anymore. Every time you hit the brakes the seat slides forward.
It's a death trap.
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;51580441]I've always wanted one cuz they look bad ass. Seems like people mostly buy them to pull the motors and scrap the rest, but that body is my favorite Dodge truck.[/QUOTE]
They are sweet trucks, my first truck was a 1991 Ram D150 318. Short box regular cab, bawled my eyes out when I sold it but it was a death trap in the winter, so they're definately some of my favorite trucks. The pre 1981 bodystyle (with the rounded panels like the warlocks posted) is a personal favorite, every now and then I see if I can find a 1979 short box regular cab or a crew cab short box.
Its just from a build standpoint compared to my 98 they sure made a lot of improvements since then. Much better frames, coil springs, better interiors for noise and insulation, and overal just a better, stronger construction. The 3rd gen was a big jump as well and I still wonder about body swapping my truck on to one of their frames.
[editline]25th December 2016[/editline]
Finished my frame -> control arm mount and improved the logo, really happy with how it turned out! Thanks for the suggestions.

The control arms bolt to the side of it, its sort of tough to explain how all the little pieces around the side come in to play but it should work out really nice.
Tomorrow if I have the time I'll begin designing the axle truss
Merry Christmas you AA shit headeds.

So I'm thinking of changing the radio in my golf GTI mk5 09 which has the RCD-300 radio to an aftermarket radio so I can have AUX and Bluetooth. Anyone knows if I have to do something with The Canbus first before switching?
It's really shitty not having AUX or Bluetooth.
I think itd be really interesting to sort of cobble together a big ugly mucle car out of truck parts. Like take an old squarebody extended cab or crew cab truck, lower it, and fabricate on the ass end of a big ass old charger or something where the bed used to be, and shorten the wheelbase so the wheels fit in the wheel wells. Then of course replace enough steering and suspension parts to make it handle good and dump a little power money into the engine, and youve got the meanest looking, most unique, and most leg roomiest 4 door muscle car in the world.
Some people are getting excited over [url=http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/5908430833.html]this Plymouth 1g laser AWD Turbo[/url] that is apparently here in NH. Thought some regulars here might appreciate it as well.
Merry Christmas vroom vroom

Just grab a PAC RP4-VW11 harness and whatever radio tickles you and you'll be good to go.

So who's in a food coma?
I ate too much wonderful brown sugared ham and tamales.
I went to a casino buffet for lunch 9 hours ago and I'm still full
[editline]26th December 2016[/editline]
just heaped boiled shrimp onto my plate and then went back for seconds
Just now about to sit down for dinner
[editline]25th December 2016[/editline]
West coast best coast
Yesterday i ate smoked ribeye steak and today I ate ham and lasagna and alcoholic lady finger stuff with chocolate and chocolate cake.
I now dont feel so good and am done with todays portion of eating. I also watched my GF's cats run amuck.
Thats the good parts of the day. The bad, my dad is in the ER due to some bleeding from an agitated super pubic catheter. Hes ok thus far, I'll know more likely tomorrow. Christmas is far from dull for me any year.

No because you missed breakfast and lunch. Get on the coma level.

Sorry to hear man, thoes are no fun at all. Give him some lube as a joke or somthing.
Yesterday was Swordfish Steak and I'll find out what's for tonight when we get there.
I had two consecutive christmas meals over two days so I'm definitely full :v:
gonna head other to my fathers to work more on my car today, plus I've been promised a nice shiny new coat of paint for my car when it's ready to be painted.
I think I ate like 4-5 courses during Christmas feast with the visiting family, and I started my breakfast off with mostly sweets. At least this 10 year old Speyside whiskey hits the spot. I think it's even just called Speyside :v:
Did you all hear about how the first episode of Grand Tour is streaming for free until the 26th?
It felt like a more silly and cinematic repeat of the Chris Harris comparison at the same track. But still worth watching.
I've eaten more cookies in the last week than I have the rest of the year combined.

So tired
The roadkill/mcm collab episodes are up
Mcm really put rk to shame with how much work got done in two days. The rk car, or course, was fucking spectacular, but all they really did was swap in an engine they already built years ago with some garbage transmission parts. They didnt even get an alternator installed.
The roadkill car was almost perfect, just needed a spool or welded diff.

mcm's car had more people working on it to be fair, including some actual professionals instead of just 2 magazine editors. I'd daily the roadkill car if it had a spool and a charging system. that subaru would be a miserable car day to day
Completely agree, that roaring smokemonster gave me all sorts of wood. Still, not being assed to make an alternator to fit, vs rerouting an entire turbo system, injectors, ecu, radical body modification, rollcage, proper body work, e85 conversion, painting, ect.
Im not saying i dont like the roadkill car, but come on, its next to useless without an alternator.
