cuz she buys me parts for the blazer she bought me lol

as of today, i've got me a shackle flip kit coming from DIy
and a set of the corbeau "fatty size" cloth/vinyl seats with 4 point harnesses coming from CCOR.

and she paid for the tubing thats gonna go into my roll cage this weekend. hi five!

will get pichers later on. (of parts not wife)
 
Rather see the wife. :D

But the parts will do. :haha:

Good to have support for our hobbies, most women arent so understanding, let alone buying parts. lol
 
well, i mean she bitches about it. but she knows i wont shut up if she doesnt appease me. lol
 
i know, i just set the example early on!:thumb:

if she looks unhappy, its because at the left end of that picture, my buddy is tattooing her ankle, mostly bcuz i told her she'd never make it thru one, then i said she be crying, and she made it thru with no tears just to spite me. lol

Dang man, you need to make that girl smile sometimes. Cool wife for buying the parts. :thumb:
 
Very nice. My g/f just bought me a pair of corbeaus for my b-day too. I think she wanted them more though after a few hard hits wheeling.

thats how i convinced her too. after jumping my old cummins and now bouncing around on these stiff lift springs, it was easy to convince her that she wanted some nice squishys and some harnessess to hold her in place. :thumb:

oh yah. my DIY package came in this morning too.
doing a high phos nickle plate job right now, probably going to do a top coat of black nickle when they get done. should be a pretty sturdy finish.

was not expecting the parts to be so beef! feel like i understand where the money went now.

only complaint i have is the damn packing peanuts that they came in. i hate packing peanuts.

I hate peanuts too. The ones we use are starch peanuts. I'm pretty sure you can disolve them to nothing in a little bit of water to get rid of them.
 
Oh well. I just left the box at work since that's where I have parts shipped. I'll just reuse them tp send to a customer that's pissin me off. Thatll learn em.
Sent another order thru today.

Oh the Greasable bolts, what size is needed for the shackle bushing in the shackle flip? I didn't look before I ordered.
 
Truck looks nice.....and it's really nice when the wifey is involved and supports what you do together....gotta love it.....that rocks dude.....:waytogo::waytogo::waytogo:

give ole "pineapple head" a high five for me....need more women like her in the world....:woot::woot:
 
Oh yeah.
Last week before we left she helped me swap the gear oil in the 14 bolt and ripped out the carpet before the cage went in. She's definitely more open to parts now that I got her working on it
