Behind the scenes we've been working diligently to bring new features beyond our existing message board. Before we get too crazy (or fancy), I'm curious to see what would be most useful for our current members. Afterall, it's not just about us admins :poke: :finger: :finger:


So, please take the poll above when you have a chance. If you'd like other options, reply or pm me.

Cheers :friday: :flower:


p.s> You can vote for your two favorites. Also, we'll probably add some options along the way ba :flower: sed upon suggestions

You may select up to 2 options

Can you make this bigger?

I like everything except the blog option. I'm the dildo who wasn't specific :wallbash: :wallbash:

The hope was to pick your top two, that way we know which ones to put the most effort into. However, I see your point... your feedback is appreciated!

I decided to take the non-dildo route and picked two, but I'm with wolfpack... I like everything except the blogs... JD you have your own blog on this site anyways, and I think that works better with personal websites.

I'd like to see more "diy/ how to" on things in detail beacuse I want to learn and the lack of funds available to have everything done professionally

Just noticed the new tidbit of info regarding the vehicles on the side under user name, but could we also include year? It is extremely relevant to many of our discussions.

Good idea! Adding that now!

Here's the location of where to add your vehicle year: User Control Panel up top > profile > Vehicle Year

Along with year, I was looking for drivetrain also. I know most are running the I6 and seems there's a lot better support/mods for them, but there are a few of us 5.3s out here... :poke: :raspberry:

Thank you for the suggestion. We have discussed this and collectively decided that the engine type was not important enough to warrant taking up the extra line and space. If you notice, the engine mods we do are very simple. The most you will likely see from 99% of us is a muffler, a CAI, and a PCM tune. For the most part, I beleive we are all fairly happy with the power output from the stock engines.

If we begin to see more engine related mods posted here, we will contemplate adding that to the profiles in the future.

Thanks again for the suggestion. :cheers:
