Hi,

My name is Jim and I have an 04 AV. It is the first new vehicle I have bought since I have been driving(20yrs) .
It has been good to me for the past 5yrs. Its has been my car hauler up and down the east coast and mid west towing my race car. No mechanical problems, knock on wood.

Body work is a different story. Thanks to my wife Lisa. I had the Pleasure of meeting Crystal today in the Verizon parking lot. She had turned me onto This web site. she was really nice and here AV looked awesome. She also gave me some really good info. Thanks Crystal. You will be hearing from me.

As for mods, not much really. I have a billet grill. That's it. I have a laundry list of things to do. But unfortunately I have to put family/bills first and then there is my cars. I am a Datsun/Nissan Z car guy and I am VP of our local club.(please don't hold any of that against me)


Hope to get to know more of u in the future.

Welcome Jim - all the way from NJ! :-)

Be sure to install Amber colored DRL's so we can spot ya on the road!

They're only $10 or so at the local auto store! A nice, cheap MOD!

Thanks for the warm welcome. Oh yeah the other silly mods I did was install bug shield , window vent visors and water proof seat covers with the bowtie emblem that look half way decent.

the amber drls would be nice as well as the cold air intake I saw on crystals truck

I really like the way her wheels came out, I wonder if she would mind me biting off her. don't know how she would feel about seeing another AV in the same parking lot with the same wheels

And the list goes on and on and on and on

When it gets warmer out if you want I will come help you with the wheels. I think it would be pretty funny. especially if the union actually gets reserved parking for the trucks... The DRLs are really easy to do. I have mine always on and amber. Most of us have that so that we can spot other members on the road. Glad to see you on here and we'll be in touch.

Welcome to the club Jim. we are all here to help, so any questions don't hesisitate to ask, just remember with these trucks you can go from Mild to Wild. It all depends how far ya want to go and/or how much ya want to spend. Hope to see you at a GTG soon.#7

Not really how much you "want" to spend... it's how much you "can afford" to spend (or how much your wife will let you spend...)

I hear ya. My wife Lisa is pretty good about it all. Since she drives the truck she would not mind any MOD's. It's me I have to worry about, once I get into a project it tends to snowball. To the point I for get about the mortgage.

what I really need to to is set up a fund for my wife every time she wrecks the truck LOL..

Be careful cause you can definetly snowball.. Just an example...

if that's the before and after. then that is totally insane and very sweet. I can only imagine what is underneath and inside.
very cool.
I would have to hit lotto or a very rich

When we GTG, I'll be more than happy to show it off. (start: 275h.p 5.3L/ finish: 500h.p 6.0L supercharged). feel free to check out my photo gallery. I did the entire truck so any questions, I'll be more than happy to explain. . I know we have a Conn. GTG at the Monster Garage (I gotta get the Address) but it's this weekend. #7

Please forgive me for asking a really stupid question.

But what does GTG stand for.

What day is the meet this weekend.

BTW, I have to replace the tires on my truck since my wife cut down one of the tires. And since I really liked the way Crystal's tires looked. I went on to tirerack and read the reviews that people were giving on them and everyone seemed really happy with them so I am having a set installed tomorrow. Hope I can see another 59,000 mile on this set. Fingers crossed
