THE new guy...lol
 
hey guys, well i guess i should have put this up before i started goin thru the forum and commenting on posts but oh well. tdrive invited me on so again special thanks to him. i'm currently deployed to afghan for a year and am getting my first diesel on monday or tuesday (explain this a little further down), i'm from Newbern TN but based out of Langley AFB VA, i will be movin back to west TN after the deployment (seperating from the military), i'm pretty big into drag racing (you can check out the team i'm a part of, they are waiting for me to seperate to actively rejoin the team, just you tube wild rat racing), i like to help other people out and as long as i'm not working i will be more than willing to come help ya work on your vehicles or build some s*!t lol (i worked construction for about 5 years before i joined the military), i love to ride so if you ride and live within 6 hours of west TN i'll probably see ya some time.

Sounds like he's got his $#it together...

westtnfx4 04-07-2012 06:34 PM

I like everything but the stove pipes. Just not a stack lover.

:welcome:

Big'un 04-07-2012 06:49 PM

Stacks ftw

06VT365 04-07-2012 07:03 PM

Welcome!! Nice list of parts too, I am with Abe on the stacks, not a fan of stacks unless its nothing but a puller or drag truck, but to each thier own!

Should be fun when its done!

Big'un 04-07-2012 07:37 PM

some trucks look goofy with em , but i think they will look sick in his RCLB

crackerjack 04-08-2012 12:11 AM

thanks guys. i've pretty much always been a fan of stacks. just not the god awfully over sized ones. but im also gonna do a custom made electric cutout that flows to a muffled pipe tucked up where you cant see it. it will be for when i'm in states that b!*tch about loud pipes, or for when i'm towin horses and various other animals
oh yeah i forgot to mention i dable in RC cars and was 2 weeks shy of graduating from industrial maintenance when i came into the military to ba a telecomm lineman/radio tower installation and maintenance tech. so i can do a few things with electronics and such. when i get home i'm gonna build an electric high idle switch. the way i plan on doin it the servo that moves the throttle should be pretty small. if it's successful maybe the other 12 valve guys will want one
