The Grond Chronicles : First Florida Mod; Brey-Krause [Dialup, take a nap]
 

So 2 weeks after my move from the Frozen Tundra (CT) to the Land of Alligators, Giant Bugs, Withering Heat and Hurricanes (FL), the mod bug reared it's comely head :D

I bought the Brey-Krause harness mount and stabilizer bar and racing harness brackets a couple of months ago, but the Frozen Tundra prevented me from installing it. Today, with a beautiful ocean breeze and 78 degree weather, I decided to tackle what I thought would be an hour's quick mod.....

Little did I know

I followed Wicked Weasel's awesome write up but I realised half way though that I really needed 2 people to install the bar itself. Well, just like when I installed my GM T1 sways alone, it "took a while" but I got it installed eventually.

Here are the pics

p.s. and yes, I am re-doing my stereo once again....

WTF is with all the farkin' speaker wire? You too cheap to buy an iPod so you take your amp for a walk? :D

:willy:

Hey Stephen, congrats on the install! :cheers:
What's the next mod for the sound system upgrade?

If you are getting rid of anything, I got the first call on it!!! :rofl:

look good :thumbs:
I was thinking of getting one. How much stiffer does it make the car?

I can tell you it won't be my chrome plated amps. :lol:

:skep:


ps: we hate you






:lol:





pps: I froze my ass off today and did another mod in my friggin thermals

:lolg::lolg::lolg:

Can see where that might be tough to do alone. Looks good. Mild temps are nice, huh? :cheers:

Just a few things to tidy everything up and keep an eye on power draw.

I don't know but every little helps. Along with the Elite Engineering Tunnel Plate, it can't hurt. I mainly bought it for a 4 point race harness

Here is Wicked Weasel's setup

Great mod... :cool:
...hope to join mod days with others when I finish the mods on BlackSheep and StuzVette...
...I may want to call upon your audio acumen when youve perfected your install... :thumbs:

:lol: I already gave away my last head unit and CD changer, as well as my RF mids and Clarion amp so I don't think I'm due to give away anything for a while :D

Stu - I never perfect my install - you know that. I mod my mods :willy:

We'll be installing those in your ride very soon :thumbs:

well you may not get to perfectest...
...but you achieve perfecter often enough... :lol:

get insurance so you can come out and play :lol:

Finally got the Allstate quote today :thumbs:

Eg how long does it take to install?
