I picked up my new Av Thursday, and it is even better than I had anticipated! And yes, that grin will not go away. I hooked up the brake controller and took the camper for a ride; wouldn't have known it was there if I didn't look back! The most awsome vehicle on the planet. Hopefully the pics turn out OK.
Amber DRLs and 899 Fogs first mods, Westin Nerf Bars ordered. Jackalanche is right... somebody lock up my bank account and change the pass before I uncontrollably MOD again! How do you stop??
 
:B:
I got mine the same day you got yours, and so far I've lost 6 pounds by giving up lunch to save some coin for the mods........ah, what the heck, my kid doesn't need to finish college..........

Why would you want to stop? It is not a sickness it is our why of expressing ourselves and showing our pride.

Don't ever listen to that Jackalanche character ... unless you need some legal advice ;D
 
Atleast it is a good addiction. you can go broke from it but you cant die from it....can you?
 
Well I just changed things around in my garage. Before I drove right up to my shelving and my garage door would just barely close. Now after I removed the shelving I have lots of room.....First thing I think of is Rino bar for the rear and bushguard for the front ;D......Then I am all done modding....wait colored letters...then Im done......wait.....Neons so I can tease the local cops like goo.......then I'm done.....wait >:D >:D
 
It's un-natural for guys to (I'm gonna say it) leave something stock :eek:

We can't settle for having the same truck as someone else. We HAVE to express ourselves and make it unique ;D

MOD-ON >:D

I agree let me MOD or give me DEATH! ;D
 
I agree it's just a way to make you and your av more unique from the rest. I must admit i am a mod-aholic too. but i'm not wanting to change one bit! welcome to the club! great looking av. see ya around >:D

My wife likes my modding habit. It makes it very very easy for her to buy for me on my birthday or the holidays!

What I hate is when you do all the mods... and then find someone else with the same colour truck and the same mods. :7:
 
That is my goal, to have an Av like no other in town. Close to 1 mil people here and lots of Av's but I'm at least several months ahead in mods, and only club members would know about some of these.
;D ;D
 
Ya run outta money ya quit? . . . Nah . . . that's what credit cards are for . . .

Ya hit your limit ya quit? . . . . Nay . . . it's off to the pawn shop . . . .


Etc, etc, etc. . . .

Congrats on your purchase . . . enjoy your Av!
 
I've never bought anything that I haven't modded.....my waverunner, and my Av.....are just simple examples of this.....they make something...then I try to go and make it better. The wife doesn't appreciate this way of thinking, but it's not entirely up to her now is it.... ;D :B:
 
It is almost a full time job just trying to keep up with everyone else's mods on this site. If I had to actually do any major mods on my own Av, I'd have to give up my wife.....

;)

Die? Maybe if the wife finds out -- that's why I'm doing more internal mods than external. I may be dumb but I aint stupid!

welcome buddy good luck with your new toys it's just 2 AWSSOME, however I have bad news for you, i'm sorry I mean news. once you start you don't stop with those mods and you will love it, in my case every time I have to spend on a mod I have to spend on the wife or kids to keep them from complainting but you know what, it's all good, it's 2 AWSSOME.
Enjoy

Don't even try...from what I understand...the addiction is incurable! ;)

It doesn't help when the unofficial motto for this site is... "Give me mods or give me death!" I really doubt that you will find anyone on this site that will:

A. Admit to an addiction,

B. Try to disuade you, or

C. Not actively encourage you.

But then that waht makes them such a fun group of folks to be around.

The AV is the addiction. hehe
