Used oil storage is set up. Just need a huge funnel and a transfer pump to empty it out. Can roll it right in the trailer and off to disposal https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...88533c68f2.jpg

Had to double stack the wash bay. Can't let them get cold over night.

Starting a Teg build thread on discord for any offroad or general auto enthusiasts can check out. Plan to hit Badlands in August sometime. I hope to have some wheeling video to share labor day https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9381f744b4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a07397988b.jpg

It's toxic in here at times. :rofl2: Just have to wear a hazmat suit when visiting sometimes.

So you are still hanging at work. Good for you. Director of Porn Watching sounds better.......oh wait. That might mean that someone (you) has to clean the monitor screens. :icon14:

So I was looking at starting to do my interior, like steering wheel or seats and randomly saw a post on FB, with about 70 comments, on saving money on parts.

Has the Z come to a point where new owners buy sh*t from Wish and alibaba and blindly defend the savings they got from it?

They were all talking about buying $80 CF steering wheels from here and saying its smarter to buy off their instead of the $500-700 ones anywhere else, they are pretty much the same. I was truly confused as to what I was reading.

Apparently its a joke to buy a modified stock wheel that cost $500-700 nowadays. According to a bunch of idiots, its better to buy off wish or uh...do it yourself...yeah, thats what they said.

I have a pile of parts on the way and a few more to track down.

Still need to figure out a spare tire carrier. VW makes one but it is a hard cover for the stock tire. I need something to carry some meats. Don't want a hitch mount one if I can avoid it. Maybe a roof basket? Need to drink about that one a little more.

I ordered the brake controller and harness from the local motorsports store. Got some funny looks when I asked about skid plates and a bull bar. "Your going to go wheeling in a what?" :lmao: If its not a pickup or a Jeep around here people are lost. Get out more guy.

I dumped the stupid spare tire it came with. It's not even inflated. They expect you to air it up with a tiny 12v pump on the side of the road. Dumbest thing I've seen aside from EWs Z. :stirthepot: :lol: Then I loaded the tire well with recovery gear. A couple nice straps, a tree saver strap, a couple 20k lb snatch blocks and some shackles. Just need an earth anchor and I should be good to go in about anything.

Picked up 2 winches at the dollar store because why buy one when you can buy two for twice as much. Giving the second to my buddy Jeff as a house warming gift. His jeep has been in need for years so I'm hooking him up.

Have a great one kids

Have looked at what Forge Motorsport has for over landing/wheelin vdubs and Audi?

They’re a medium sized player in the VAG modding world, based out of England, but they have an auxiliary office/shop here in Orlando. We know their main US rep here and my wife took his boss who came to visit from England for some hot laps at NOLA Motorsports park in our old 370z nismo and he got sick. :happydance::happydance: :driving: She said he was a really nice old dude, or should I say gentle chap.

Here’s them link: https://www.forgemotorsport.com/

Go to Forge Overland tab and spend some $$ :tup:

Most of humanity is retarded. It’s the only logical conclusion.

In my experience, never go cheap on stuff you care about, you’ll only end up buying the better expensive product later and then end up spending $$ twice and be worse off. In other words buy once, cry once.

Hell, I wish that were the reason. I mean, I was 14 when the original came out. I was all about the cool and most riced out imports. Though I think you are right. Where as I had a mix of those movies but wise old dudes telling me what was actually right. Nowadays kids watch F&F and then confirm on tiktok that the wish/alibaba mods are good. *shrug*
