Quick Intro w/ Photos - Newb From PA/NJ

[PAFirefighter11]

Here's my quick intro... My name is Rick, I am 27. I live in Exton, PA (No, I don't go to UTI or ATC) and Brick Township, NJ. I have been a volunteer Fire Fighter since 1999, also ran some EMS for 5 years. I work full time at a Jeep Aftermarket Parts Company called Quadratec. I am also a photographer and have been for a couple decades (at least taking photos that long).

I have 4 modes of transportation. I tend to post 9823498234 photos of everything, including my vehicles, but I'll be good this time.. only 1 photo of each!

My daily driver / tow rig which is my '99 Silverado 1500. It's got the 5.3L Vortec, automatic, 4WD, Z71 package, extended cab, cab cover, 4300k HID's on their way as I type this, etc. Oh, and 220,000 miles on it:






I also have my previous daily driver, which is a 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ. It's got 190k miles on the 4.0L I6 motor, with a 5 speed AX15 trans. I have a TON of work I've put into it including: 2" Teraflex lift, Old Man Emu Steering Stabilizer, Skyjacker Hydro shocks, 33x12.50x15" BFG M/T's, 15x8" Mickey Thompson Classic II's, customer extended flares, Quadratec Edition ARB Stubby front bumper, Smittybilt XRC-8 winch w/ synthetic line, Smittybilt SRC rear bumper, Hella Rallye 1000 8" round driving lights, KC 55" rear and LED frame mounted rock/wheeling lights, ARB snorkel, Tough Stuff limb risers & rocker guard & fender protectors, Warrior Products hood mounted hi-lift brackets, Hella E-code headlights, 170/100 watt H4 bulbs, custom 12 gauge upgraded wiring harness w/ relays and fuse, Uniden 520XL CB with PA system, 6 foot Firestick antenna on a whip, Sony CDX-430IP head unit, Kicker/Boston Acoustic Speakers, 1000 watt amp powering dual 8" Kicker Comp VR's, Bestop Supertop, Bestop Heated Trailmax Thermal Seats, Bestop Highrock 03-06 style mirrors, Quadratec Edition Floor Mats, LED gauge cluster and climate control lights, and much more I can't think of off the top of my head lol:






Also have a 1987 Chrysler Conquest TSi. It's a RWD, 5 speed, turbo, intercooled car. It has leather interior, aftermarket deep dish rims, a fair amount of engine work as well which I don't feel like listing. It's for sale with it all typed out and I'll post that here once I hit the post requirements. Camera phone shot:






And my last toy is a 1990 Honda NT650 Hawk GT. It's a 650 V-twin and has loads of upgrades including a Corbin Gunfighter & lady seat, M4 full exhaust, gold valve emulators, jet kit, Fox adjustable racing shock, rear fender delete, LED rear turn signals, Streetrighter Dominator dual headlights & flyscreen, etc:

Welcome to FSC

[fortplainman]

welcome. is that a comanche i spy in the bike picture?


anyway i see you have a 3000gt, nice.

[PAFirefighter11]

Thanks guys! Yes, that blue rig is my roommates daily driver MJ. He also has an XJ trail rig. He also works with me at Quadratec.

I had a 3000GT. That thing was so much fun. My main qualms were the weight and the location of the damn spoiler. At night it was nice 'cause it blocked headlights, but whenever you wanted to see anything in the rear view, forget about it. I had my worst speeding ticket in that thing at the age of 17... 160 in a 40 on Coastal Highway in Ocean City, MD... per the LEO who cited me. He was nice and dropped it to 80 in a 40. $520 later.. not fun at 17. I was a dumb kid with a fast car....

On a lot of weekends I head down to our place in Brick, it's off of Princeton, near Craigs Restaurant.

That's a nice Quest. hotrod. Mine doesn't run at the moment.. I am trying to sell it. I'm sick of working on it when I have my Jeep, bike and truck to work on. Awesome car, but not while it's down.
