What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

They did that to me with my last speaker purchase! I got 1 one day and the other didn't show up til the next day...

At least someone understands me.

He was very upset.

After my speaker build I decided I finally needed to do some upgrades to my truck. I'm going to get tuning done when I have the time to install my transmission parts, but that'll wait till I can get some help. At least the previous owner was nice enough to install a drain plug into the stock pan so I don't get drenched in fluid.

On order are a new track bar, coil springs, upper and lower control arms, rims, leaf shackle, and new shocks. Doesn't sound like much, but with a 3/4 ton diesel those are big, heavy parts that are hand built by the guy I ordered them from. I've never gotten to really do any mods to a vehicle outside of the stereo so this is exciting for me.

Welcome to the world of car mods. The car forum people will push you to spend even more over your budget than you guys do here.

Oh I know. Trust me. Guy I'm getting everything from is doing good at taking a bit off here and there, but this thing is expensive. I'm looking forward to it though. Nice to finally be able to start/finish some of my projects. 2020 was the year of nothing for me except cleaning out my garage. That was a big accomplishment.

Guys in the Q forum are like "While they've already got the car on the lift why don't you also have them install the one piece driveshaft?" I said because I'm already $3.5k over my initial budget!

No kidding. Lucky for me someone that had my truck before me did that. Got lucky that the previous owner used it as a tow vehicle so nothing was done but things that made it run better, or fixed common issues so I didn't have to. The transmission is the biggest part. If my mechanic is right, it's probably at least $5k I didn't have to spend. The stock transmission in my year of truck is a POS. Glad I dodged that bullet.

Yesterday, I found a pair of Martin Logan Motion 4 AND a pair of Martin Logan Motion 2. for $40 total at a Goodwill in my town. I was like that's a steal! Then I got a Yamaha RX-V371 AV receiver for $34.49 at another goodwill today!

Finally! took full possession of a Yamaha Adventage RX-A1080! Came in today! Many thanks to our forum member @AcuDefTechGuy !!! Andrew was kind enough to hold one for me till my funds came in. I can't say this enough anyone looking for audio/video gear or speakers hit Andrew up you won't be disappointed. Outstanding service before and after the sale. Andrew made sure I got tracking number, shipped, box with no damage . I highly recommend, Audio RX!
