Reminds me of a job we were doing on a government installation, lots of cops, lots of cops driving around in their black tahoes and expeditions. The building we were, uh, building was next to the main office. We had two loads a gravel come in for the ditch work, we put it on the street, coned it off. One day guy gets in his tahoe, must've been late for his post or whatever, speeds off.....into the gravel pile. No seatbelt. Smacks his face against the windshield. They had the ambulance come get him. Found out later they take the bags out. The tahoe this guy was piloting was eventually totalled out.

I'm not laughing at you when I say this but we laughed at that guy that day 'cause some of the cops there were total dicks. I know they had a job to do and they took it very seriously but given the scrutiny that we went thru just to work there it's not like we were terrorists. Some of those guys had it in for anybody who wasn't on the force.

sucks for that guy

however i def wasnt being a dick and just trying to get home like everyone else...tried to find a way out...but alas...nowhere to go but into the back end of an 80something Nissan Z...and i definately had my seatbelt on

his bumper had a minor dent and some cracked paint...i turned my bumper into fiberglass shards, broke a headlight, pushed the hood up a smidge, and adjusted a fender...oh and deployed my drivers airbag which actually rips itself thru a crown vic steering wheel

and i gave the guy a good laugh...seeing as how he got rear ended by a cop

he was surprisingly not mad or upset...which made life so much easier...since well...about 10 other officers from my dept showed up along with 2 highway patrolmen...

i apparently worried everyone because i was signed into one channel so i could drive home...and called in the collision as such...then when i got out i had to get on my walkie talkie and call my supervisor who was on another channel...apparently i forgot to tell the dispatcher i was ok...when i didnt answer the call back they sent everyone in the region out after me

whoops!

I started my hood scoop project...I want to put a "bulge" (as Toyota calls it) on my '04 hood. Found a wrecked 4Runner, got the hood for free, cut out the scoop and braces underneath, now I'm reworking the metal. Next I'll graft it on a stock hood. Still haven't decided whether to use MY hood or get a donor...thinking it may take a while...

luk8272 · 07-02-2008, 12:21 PM

On the 30th I did the fog light anytime mod.
On the 1st I did the hose clamp on the tailgate.
Just catching up on the little things.
Now I'm researching Exhaust.

Ridgerunner · 07-09-2008, 08:04 AM

Treated it to the 75,000mi service AND 90,000mi service at once. I have 76,000mi on it now.
This included:
1. new timing belt
2.new fan belts
3.new tensioners, and seals
4.new water pump
5.fuel injection flush, radiator flush, tranny flush
6. oil change and MOC additive
7.tuneup
$1600.00, but she's ready for another 7 yrs easy with nominal maintenance

flyinn · 07-09-2008, 12:58 PM

SRFIVE · 07-12-2008, 07:20 PM

Well after almost trading my '04 in on a '08, then buying a SkyJacker lift only to return it because I didn't like the quality, I finally bit the bullet and lifted it using ICON coilovers and ICON add-three-pack-leaf tonight. Easy install, one hour for the front and two for the rear. Here's some pics, sorry, poor, it's nighttime...
