2000 NBS Blue Steel Burban Build

You must've been a boy scout. Always prepared! Lol

Haha no Boy Scout, I’ve always had older vehicles, I always mod them, I always have the typical issues here and there that come with all that. Over the years I have started putting more and more tools in my cars on a daily basis. I drive around with that stuff all the time and sometimes I have a floor jack in there as well. I like having the right tool for the job wherever and whenever the job comes calling.

All my breakdowns have been resolved by AAA Plus. That 200 mile tow coverage is nice. But I do carry a few tools. If I was to try to cover my ass completely I'd need my roll-around and that's not happening lol.

I never had the Plus, only ever had regular AAA, first 5 miles were free which does nothing for me where I live. I canceled it last year, added State Farm’s road side and towing to my insurance instead, saved me some money and I now get 50 miles for free. But I rather try to fix it and get home then deal with any of that, but I agree I would need a lot more than pictured to cover it all. Those tools are enough to fix/rig just about any thing on the bottom side, so I can roadside repair and limp home.

Back to parts....
Pulling the trigger on my cluster today, going navy blue Escalade platinum with red needles! Also ordered the plug and play resistors to see if I can get these leds to work right in the back. And ordered 6k replacement bulbs for my low beams, finally ditching the 10K bulbs. Besides that looking at 9005 LEDs for the hi beam also.

Gotta let us know if the red needles get washed out by the blue leds. I was going that route until I was told it wouldn't work. I have the blue leds with the stock ugly ass orange needles. No offense to whoever likes the stock orange ugly ass needles.

Haha I’ll be Shaggy if I can find a Scooby

If I was Shaggy, I certainly would be trying to "****" Daphne or Velma...

Wouldn't have to worry about that if you bought a dodge

Yeah since I have the older cluster I can swap the 194 bulbs out to try different colors pretty easily. I was going to try a couple different colors to see what looks best with the red needles. I originally wanted to match everything to the blue on my Alpine HU but I am now planning to swap a double bezel and HU in next year so the blue will be gone then.
But when I get the LEDs and cluster I’ll get photos of the different bulbs with red needles and post them up.

Yeah cause the dodge trans would have let go pulling out of the driveway. No need for roadside at that point lol

LOL, so true! Damn dodges!

I feel like I can say that, I’ve owned 3 different Dodge Rams and all 3 had transmission and power steering problems. Not to say I would never get another one but I know what I my first upgrades would be....

I had a Dodge Dakota 5.9 R/T. It was fast but wouldn't stop for shit, just skidded. I rear-ended 2 cars that stopped quick in front of me, plus with a solid diff it would just snap on me and I'd be doing 360's. I did that on a wet freeway and went across 3 lanes of rush-hour traffic doing spins and hit the barrier. It was a POS though because it was a Dodge. Never did really like that truck.
