Kerrige's Garage

The Current truck I married into... :lol:
My Father-in-law bought this truck brand new in April of 2000. He gave it to my now wife when she turned 16.
It is now registered in my name, but has my wife's name on the license plate. :P We are sharing for the time being to save money.
It was 100% stock with no modification with the exception of a front tow package for towing behind a Motor Home.

That ^^^ was until I came around.
Has a drop-in K&N Filter (thank you Travis) and is custom tuned by me using HPtuners.
I added a new clarion head unit and infinity door speakers.

Just bought Tahoe 20's to go on it as soon as I burn some rubber off these stockers. :devil:

Got bigger brakes and a few other toys sitting around for this waiting to go on.

Has a 4.8L with a bad tick, its 2wd and has a little over 130k on the clock. (I have put about 15k on it in the 10 months)
Lots of future plans. :)

Well my garage just got a lot more German.... :lol: I am the proud new owner of a very used 2001 TDI Jetta. I have wanted one of these since high school and I am pretty excited about it. For the 150k that is on the clock it is in really good shape. Needs a couple small things, but nothing major which is nice. It was a Socal car so rust free. Its green with leather sunroof heated seats, and stock everything minus the Stereo which really bumps for just door speakers. It has a little body and paint issues normal for a 10 year old car. (Roof clear coat peeling, some right rear damage basically rubbed a pole or something, and a bent antenna) I need to replace the thermostat, cooling fan, and rear brake pads. Beyond that this thing is set for some nice long 40+mpg trips. I have seen some guys hit 50+ babying them so I have the goal to have one 50mpg tank at some point.
I will post pics tomorrow. Oh did I mention I paid way less than 5k for this thing? :D

Going on tomorrow the tires have finally had it after 45k miles and almost 4 years of consistent driving.

Nice!! Will look killer!

Yay they are on :)

Looks SIK!

Well it would appear that for some reason I am not able to edit old posts in this thread all of the sudden :( So hear is the update. I add a remote start for my wife, because she works early mornings and it makes it nice for her to jump in a nice warm truck on those cold mornings. I am planning a few upgrades in the very near future. I should have some more bass soon courtesy of Audioque subs. Also I am going to swap the drive train out this summer. Hopefully around my birthday she will get an 80e with a small stall maybe like 2600, 6.0 with 212/218 low lift cam, and valuetrac/3.90's. I already have everything to upgrade the brakes. (06 fronts, tahoe rears) I also have a few other smaller goodies that will go on about the same time. I plan on wrapping the wheels in Hankook RH06's and its going to squat level via drop hanger. So far those are the plans hopefully it all works out nicely.

I am also looking at some different HID's. Anyone ever use Race Sport Accessories? I haven't seen any bad reviews yet... Also I am looking for 2 amps to power either 2 SDC2.0 or 1 SDC2.5 Audioque sub. I am looking for something on a nice budget(around 75-150$ each) without being a piece of shiz. I don't want to blow my ear drums just a little more bass. Thanks.

Yyou probably aren't going to find an amp that cheap unless you get it on craigslist and find one used. I suggest the single 2.5.

Everyone except for me liked DDM.

Apparently DDMs quality has gone way downhill in the past few months, I'd look elsewhere.
