I think that's pretty much the case across the board, not limited to the 3G or Toyota necessarily.

 

I heard they cone low on transmission fluid. Might be the automatic though.

 

I'd eat one last burrito and then end it

I love when they yell that. It's my favorite part of going there

 

Haha it was an outbound box of a custom one off intake manifold for a GTR that converted it from 6 injectors to 12 injectors. We had to send the runners and ranks off for coating.

Sure we can meet up sometime. I just crawled under the truck and did it no problem and I'm on stock suspension.

I heard the automatic tranny's were slipping due to lack of a proper top off of fluids... I'm deathly afraid my transmissions hesitation is going to be getting worse....

 

What type of coating and who do you guys use?

 

This time around the owner of the car wanted us to send it to the same guy who anodized his intake pipes so they would match. Normally we powder coat everything. We use a guy in NH - I can't remember the shop but they have been pretty good. I got a quote to sandblast and powdercoat matte black my MOLLE back seat panel for my taco for 100$ so its not bad on pricing. They just redid an intake pipe for us (color change - blast and recoat) for 60$ rushed.

Edit - anyone wanna buy an oem TRD off road tire brand new from 2008... It's been under the truck since then haha. Still holds air fine I'll throw in the rim for free but I need to pull the TPMS out and install a standard valve. (aka the rim looks like shit and I'm too picky to run it)

 

Thinking about taking a day off next week to go do some exploring in Western MA, I just want to get outside.

 

Just a shot in the dark here. I'm putting a ladder rack on my 07 and looking for a set of bed rail cover. Anyone have a set to get rid of? I'm in Oxford so will travel to pick up. Thanks.
07 Tacoma TRD short bed.

 

What's a bed rail cover? Like a Tonneau cover?

 

The plastic covers that sit on top of the sides of the bed.

 

If I wasn't working I'd head out with you, but I'm not off again until August.

 

That stinks. Next week I'm waiting on a bunch of other people to get me some stuff so it'll be easy to take a day.

 

Any of you guys have the Coleman Roadtrip or NXT 200 grill? I'm debating selling my home grill and replacing it with one of those 2. That way, I could just collapse it and bring it camping and not have to have a small camping grill and my house one. I like that you can get burner inserts for pots and pans but want to get feedback if anyone has one.

 

I've got a road trip i got for father day. I don't use it as my home grill. Its a great product but I use it for camping only right now. I did test it out for a week on the deck when we first got it and it works great, but when cooking for my family and others as I do often on my grill I found it to be a little small.

 

I guess I need to go see them in person. I have a large, 4 burner grill now but I very, very rarely use more than 1 burner, it's really big for what I actually need. I was going to lean toward the larger 200 but will have to see them both and compare I suppose. It's good to hear it works well though, that's what I was really after, size I'll have to see.

 

I use a 3 burner at home and I'd say about 75% of the time I'm using the whole thing including the top rack for veggies etc..
I think I made a few steaks on the Road trip one night and another night 3 or 4 breast of chicken. All cooked up real nice, maybe its just being used to my larger surface I felt it would be a little small as my one and only grill at home.

 

To be honest, that's my hesitation also. I have had my big 4 burner full a couple of times for parties, but that's been once a year at best. Decisions, decisions...

In other news, Chris plug your ears, I'm sort of itching to test drive one of those Canyon diesels.

 

That may well merit an ass beating

 

Lol, what does it matter now, you've already strayed too far

 

I only want to test drive at this point!

True... But 20/30 mpg city/highway is appealing along with the 7,000# towing capacity. Plus there are tuners that with a basic tune are getting 10-15 extra hp and 50 ft-lbs of torque (which leads me to believe it would actually tow pretty decent). They're hard to find though, haven't found one loca yet but haven't spent a ton of time looking. I'm just intrigued.
