I'd like to get my tires and stuff doing that, but of course in the smart way and not getting in over my head lol

 

When I do flip cards I usually put them away after I get the bonus points and really don't touch them again, I just make the payments, if needed. However if I come across a card that has good benefits I hold on to it. So far I have only held on to my Barclay Mastercard (3 yrs now) for all daily purchases and any bills I can put on a card because I get 2 points per every $ spent. I never use my debit card or cash, I just use the credit card like it is my bank account and transfer money to pay off any purchases I make pretty much every monday. That way I can get at least a little something back for daily purchases, I mean it is not much but adds up to around $400-$450 worth of points a year just for paying for things I will pay for anyway, food, cell, gas, comcast, vehicle insurance and that can be put towards flights or even CC statements for a new set of tires. Something is better than nothing and is a hell of a lot more than my bank pays me in interest on my account every year ($20 vs $400, no brainer). However on my next round of cards I will sign up for the Capital One Venture card, among others, and it might be my next "keeper" card since the yearly fee is waived for the first year and $59 for the next year (which if you spend even a little doesn't really matter cause you will have enough points to pay for that fee easy plus all the extra points) plus 2X points on all purchases.

Anyone want a good deal on some pro comp struts?!?!?!

 

I already have a set so no thanks

 

150 for two brand new struts..... lifts 2.75", which is higher than bilsteins.....

 

Which ones are those

 

Just bought an All Pro IFS skid plate for $150

 

Nice! Shoulda bought the spare tire rack also. If I'm not mistaken you had to drop it to install the new bumper & hitch.

 

Yes I was considering it but I didn't have the extra cash. My spare is still mounted in the stock location though

 

I thought the spare had to come out for the hitch to fit. When we installed Andre's (Aerial Tacoma) all pro bumper/hitch we had to take the spare out.

 

No it fits fine, only thing in the way is the trailer wiring harness mount but I just ziptied that up out of the way

 

That's good. You've been finding all the good deals lately. Lol

 

Need a winch on that bad boy

 

I'll go the cheap route and get a hi lift

 

Haha that's usually the case. I always am on the look out for a bargain

 

I also have the all pro rear with hitch and have the spare in stock location. It was a little tight but it fit.

 

I wanna say Andre has a Duratrac for a spare, maybe that's why we had to take it out.

 

my spare is still the stock sr5 sized spare and it was tight.

 

may be able to fit larger with a bfh.

 

Valve covers were clearly not the only leak, that's after a drive home. I cleaned it and let it run in the driveway for a bit after taking the foam out from between the pan and inspection plate. I could see it form a drop where the pan overhangs, pretty damn sure now it's the rear main seal. Quoted $1100 in labor, less than I was expecting.
