Wyoming B.S. Thread

Ok, Friday would probably be the only day I could work on it. Thursday I wont have any time due to some movie thing I have to go see on campus.

 

Sounds good man.

 

Should've seen Tessa's face when I mentioned custom build. Lol

I'm open to try whatever this time. I only ended up with the Kona because it was a good deal, and I though it was cool. I really liked my giant hr 29er though, I probably should have kept it instead.

 

Haha! Well when I did mine it cost me just a bit more than if I would have bought it as a from the dealer xc205. The key is not going overboard...

 

Just accepted a position to work with the toads again. I'll be the only one so I can safely say I wont have any time this summer until August.

I now have to get my truck running by April or buy a beater.

 

Little slow on this but I have 4.56 and they work well with my 33's and all the weight I have. Feels stock, good accelerations, decent top end still as well.

 

Nice man! Get a raise too?

Why by April?

 

Tell lizzy to cut you some slack.

 

Doubt it, didn't ask. Its not hard work so $12 an hour is fair. Most tech positions like this only pay $10. In fact, the people I work with will get $10 and be required to work more hours/harder work.

Its also grant funded so not much wiggle room. That said. I will get more hours and work a longer duration. So that helps.

She responded with a solid "go fuck yourself". She isn't the pressuring force on this though. I could use the extra coin for moab/getting my truck running.

Got a beater you want to sell that will get me through a month or so?

 

Cool. The my gig is offering me 12 an hour. Plus housing. Not sure that's food but still. Not bad. Full time I believe.

 

12 + housing is really nice for a temp job/internship. I doubt it covers food but that would be a heck of a deal if it did.

 

Mk, I would say $3K is my limit for a fun beater truck that would get me around town until I get my truck in top shape. I would go as far as 4k for something that holds value or if worth it (running good with exceptional mods). Older yota's preferred (not sure how I am still a fan boy, but I am). I am willing to look at anything. I am ok with minor problems...obviously I can't have a truck that isn't currently DD'able (blown headgasket, etc). But if its a small leak or something that will let me drive it for a bit, whatever. Just need transportation to work. Fixing it is the fun part . Plus I have all the tools now.

 

I think I remember seeing some older pickups and 4runner on the wyoming craigslist the other night. I think a 90s 4runner for like 2k. Seemed in good shape.

Maybe try there as well?

 

I am looking on craigslist. There was a land cruiser for $500 that was running rich...sold in less than 24 hours.

 

A LC would be awesome lol. I am always on craigs, here CO and MT, so I'll keep an eye out for ya.

 

Yeah, I look at foco and Denver a lot as there is always something sweet popping up. Kicking myself for passing up the land cruiser a few months back

 

There was a 2wd toyota hilux for like 3k that I should have bought just for sheer awesome factor. Woulda been a fn little daily. Even came iwht a F20a Honda motor and tranny for a swap.

 

Call my dad and make an offer on our little brown Toyota. Could even maybe loan it haha

Oh wait never mind. My sister is using it as her car.

 

That post excited me and depressed me at the same time. Found a beat to hell LC for 2k. A built 81 yota for $3200 with a potential buyer. Guess I might be making a trip to denver on sunday if my truck isn't moving by saturday night.
