trip to Big Bear with my mom

I don't think they make those for old runners.

I pretty much just swapped out my bulbs and put a TRD decal on my tach. It was too boring before

Shitty pic of what it looks like with the new lights (there are 2 missing in this pic). Don't have a pic of the old ones but we all know it was the same shitty green Toyota used on all their older cars

 

Aren't most of those really just plug & play, apart from the bitchy wiring. I know there was one in a groupbuy a while back that I don't think was vehicle specific

 

A lot of the telemetry that you would want "available" is also based off of what the vehicles computer "outputs" for information. If it doesn't have a particular "monitor" then it ain't gonna give it!!! OBDI doesn't have too many monitors that I am aware of??? Been quite a while because I have had OBDII vehicles for quite some time now!!! OBDIII, "big brother" (i.e. the gubbment) is watching you... LOL!!!

 

Idk. Being a bit of a dinosaur car idk how well it would work. My speedo is cable driven.

Also I'm sure this was 100x cheaper. I didn't spend more than $50 on the bulbs way back when I bought them. I've seen a set of digital gauges for the Firebird that were going for $400

 

Wow i habve had too many beeeeeers to catch up with you all i will try in the morning lol

 

Let's start as much bs as possible to make it harder on Bryan!

 

RONNNNNN!!! What's up bro!!! Good morning/afternoon man!!! I got that Kawell 36W Amber/White module. It is rather big, but I like it so far. I just need to figure out a mount for it. I also need to "re-learn" how to braze so I can make my "custom bracket" because of how/where I want to mount it. My question to you, where do you go fill your oxy tanks? I have built up, over time, a Propane/Oxy setup and have been wanting to get back into brazing (i.e. for small projects that don't require HIGH structural integrity mock-ups, if you get my meaning... my brazing jobs ain't supporting a car bridge or some high rise tower... LOL!!!). Actually, one last question, where can I buy the smaller, Oxy bottles, that are like 55cu/ft? I don't want my oxy bottle to be TOO big, but at the same time, I need to make sure that there is enough there to finish whatever small project I am working on at the time. I'm doing a propane setup because it is readily available from many places and no where near as expensive as acetylene. Anyways, hope we can talk about this the next time we meet as well. Talk to you later and gotta get back to work... LOL!!!

 

Cameron Welding Supply!It's on Katella and Dale.Great business/shop!That's where i bought my welder and get supplies from as well as fill my tanks!

 

Ron!!! What's up bro? This week has been emotionally hell for me. My bro has stage 4 and can't start chemo (sp) until he heals from his surgery, so about another 3wks or so until he can start. They know what "type" it is and it is considered "slow growing", but has spread throughout and even under his lungs!!! I lost it on Monday morning as I was getting ready to go see him at the hospital. I was just getting ready to leave my sisters house and my mom was needing assistance and called out for me and I just lost it bro!!! You see, my mom can understand you when you speak to her, but can't speak herself (i.e. sentences are VERY broken if not repeating the last word and/or speaks like a baby). Obviously, not making fun of her, just saying that is how she speaks now!!! So when my mom called out for me and she said, "daaaaah", basically meaing, "come here" I just LOST it bro!!! I started to cry immediately and was so F'N pi$$ed at myself for doing so!!! It was BS on my part, but I asked my sister if she could help mom because I just couldn't do it. I couldn't face her knowing that she doesn't know about her son, our brother!!! You see, my/our mom doesn't know about our brother because she has a pace maker and is diagnosed with CHF so we're trying not to get her alarmed. Just BS bro!!! I'm quiting a fairly good paying job, but as far as my own personal health, if you will, it is just NOT worth it AND just NOT enough family time and now this!!! But, I have already said all this to you so I won't go into all that again. But, let me just say this, my company is scambling to replace me, you just have to trust my word on that. The boss asked if I could stay until Friday (i.e. today) and I said yes, just because that is how I am bro. Thur, yesterday, was supposed to be my last day. Seriously, I can honestly say that I'm the type to give the shirt off of my back to help someone bro. Well, the boss even tried to push Saturday as well and that is where I stopped it and said no thinking after all the crap they put meee through annnnnnd they know that my brother is in the hospital!!!??? This all happened just this week on Wed and truly showed signs of desperation on keeping me as long as they can!!! My co-worker agreed when I told him about all that and he just laughed with a bit of disgust!!!

Anyways, with all that said, I am really trying hard to hold it together (i.e. because of my brother and mom... NOT the work situation and temp being out of a job)!!! I am NOT worried about myself as I have always found ways to take care of my own self. Sommmetimmmmmes, I would need assistance with money, but very, very rare. Right now, my main focus is on my family bro... my brother and mom annnd my sister!!!

Sorry for the very long post... call it catch-up on many days of NOT posting... LOL!!! Thank you for keeping me in mind as well as @MuricaTaco for the HB beer meet. Nick, you know I don't drink, but I would still go if I could bro... just to hang out and meet new AWESOME peeps!!! Nick, can you please try to remember and do me a favor, please have a "toast" on behalf of my family and have a waiter/waitress take a picture of all you guys!!! Not just for me bro, but for my family!!! If not, it's all good bro.

Well, gotta go for now. I still have a while before I have to actually leave for work, but actually want to leave early so I can have enough time to drop some shi- off at my storage unit. Annnnnnnnyways, talk to you all L8r!!!

Happy Wheel'n people... and

 

Randy you're a very strong man!Continue to be proud of what you do for your family!You've heard the saying "Family First".Well that's right!And although it's difficult for you with your mom not knowing about your brother i personally think the right time will come for her to know!She's a strong woman as can be and your doing the right thing in hope's that it wouldn't potentially weaken her with the news!Prayers to your brother,mom,yourself and the rest of the family!
As far as your to be former employer your being professional in giving them that extra time!Showing respect and being considerate from all the yr's of time put in but it's over!Let them scrabble in finding a replacement!Yes i'm sure it's on your conscious but they have done nothing to make you reconsider and keep you aboard!You'll have other opportunities to give your shirt off your back!

Everything will fall into place and continue to be positive when going through the motions!I'm sure Nick(@MuricaTaco)as well as other's will take photos and post them!I'm unable to attend myself but i know Nick will make it happen!Take care Randy and appreciate you responding back!We all appreciate it!

 

Wow just wow. Sorry to hear about the hell you're going through bud. You're definately quite a strong and amazing man and that's something not many people can even say about themselves. There are always roughs and bumps in the road, but eventually the road becomes smooth and everything will work out for you in the future .
We'll all be taking plenty of photos at the meet, hell we'll probably end up taking over most of the place hahahha. Who knows if enough people leave around the same time maybe a TW Takeover will occur on Main Street hahaha. Also we're all parking out rigs together so I should have quite a few awesome photos to send your way!
Keep strong Randy!
