    Just bought a d3200 and it's a nice little camera, I played around with it when I got my new LED bar and pulled off some decent pics, didn't take my time though because we had 40 mph winds but definitely a huge step up from the other cameras I'm used to

    Most definitely. I'm looking for something with a quick start up, smaller and lighter weight and the best sensor I can get for the price point. The price is a nice bonus. I'm going to do something stupid here shortly.

    Bought ours brand new for $500 off a camera site somewhere, came with carry case, 2 lens, 2 SD cards, tripod, 2 batteries, a wall charger, and a car charger... Can't beat that!

    Well I guess once funds recuperate and I buy an Elite I should do some maintenance...

    Parts are going to cost about $643. Then the cost of labor to install whatever parts I'm too impatient to install myself... :anonymous:

    Those are all do-able in one day. Seriously.

    If you were still in NM, I'd offer a garage and a hand.

    Wish I could still take you up on that... :(

    It just seems every time I do stuff like this by myself I get stressed because I'm worried about not finishing in time and then not having a drive-able vehicle...

    I just need to find another guy in the area that is good at the stuff. Which there is none...

    I know that feel. I've been counting the miles until I hit 90k. At 83k now and I'm dreading doing the timing belt/water pump. I'm not going to do it myself, just don't want to send that money haha. I think I'll buy a RTT first so I have the mod itch scratched for a bit.

    Haha yeah... I paid Toyota around $640 for OEM parts and labor. Which isn't too terrible when you think about what's involved...

    Yeah, but...Alaska. Doesn't matter who you are or where you go, you'll get bent over and they won't have the decency to use lube. We'll see though. I've never taken my truck to the dealership for service. Only other vehicles and they were not cheap.

    Ah, yeah. Didn't think about that haha

    I'll probably end up biting the bullet on cost and pay toyota labor to do a few things at a time... That way I'm not stuck sitting around the dealership for 6 hours one day haha

    I don't remember what I paid for my timing belt but had the dealer do it. No issues so far.

    Contrast that to Silas doing his timing belt in his driveway. I was a bit taken aback when I popped by to visit and he's out in the drive way with the front of his engine taken apart. He got it done that day. Ran fine afterwards.
