Default Found a warehouse in my cousin's closet!

I was over at my cousin's helping him clean up his dorm room and I found a plain old unmarked box. I asked him what was in it and he said just some "parts". So I opened it up and dear lord you wouldn't believe what I found.





Obviously I layed out all the parts, but I counted at least 80! All NIB. Apparently he worked at a Radioshack and decided to pick up some their surplus. Either that or he jacked an Xmods supply truck en route.

So I rushed out to my local Ratshack and picked up Barricade and they had one Nissan Titan truck. I had been into gen 1 xmods before, but lost interest once my civic stoped working on impact...of a curb...by my friend. Different story. Let's just say now that Barricade is fairly well endowed.

Now clearly I have way too much here for only me, so if you are interested, you could possibly slip me a PM ONLY. As much as I'd love to hear from you, I much rather listen in a PM instead of on this thread, which isn't a BST.

Now if I could only find an off road upgrade kit, or a Titan body kit...life would be good.

You've got a hell of a cousin, mate! Congradulations on the stock pile; hope you get some use out of at least half of those upgrades!

Warning: do not let this turn into a BST thread, anyone. Keep it to PM as Smoke&Mirrors does not have enough posts.

No, they didn't usually and definitely don't today. The Transformers Barricade and Camaro concept starter kits, stage 2 motor upgrade, and light kits for the two cars are still commonly sold at Radioshacks. The one I went to was about 15 minutes away from my house in a pretty isolated area, so there wasn't a huge demand.

Yeah no kidding, my barricade is so ridiculously loaded with upgrades. I'm pretty sure it has every available performance enhancer other than the aluminum rims, just because the black rims are sweet. The truck on the other hand, still needs some upgrades.

And thank you for stating that this cannot turn in BST thread. I just got back into Xmods and want to share with the community so I'm new to the forum and have very little posts.

No, different axles come with the lift kit. But not the suspension kit (springs, and tie rods)

You had to hit up RS about 9 months to a year ago to get anything.

Seriously, you guys have too much money for your own good... You've got good intentions, just like buying a busted car for $700, selling the hood for $300, the fenders for $100 each, seats and interior bits for $50 a piece, eventually paying off the initial investment and then making profit... But I'm sticking with my word, some of you guys... How old are you anyway? ...Just have too much money...

Holey Crap man.

I would be drooling more if I was still into xmods as much as I was a year ago.

...Anyone want pokemon/yugioh cards?

I don't think he spent quite that much (as you did on bearings alone), but he certainly put some money toward it. What is a hundred bucks or a couple hundred if it keeps you occupied and gives you a nice break from everything else? Pretty priceless to me.
