Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Yes sir, i'm out by the 242. I'm sure we could get some people together for a beer. Sorry I was still half asleep this morning on my way to Stockton. Your truck looks beastly man good job!

 

I appreciate it. It's more than just looks tho

Got this waiting to get installed, so hopefully I can go fast or slow depending on the moment.

 

So the more I see the CVTs the more I want one. I'm hesitant to mount one to my cab or bed though. After using my Google-Fu I came across this:

You can snag one of these trailers from Military auctions for anywhere from $300- $750. Luckily Im planning on a trip to San Diego this year and lots of these trailers are being auctioned out of Pendleton.

Might have to start thinking this out...haha

 

Nice!

 

I was thinking about getting these, but I'd really want to keep my cup holders. I'd probably end up having to get that and the fj xcase like @Wicked 2007 if I went this route. -_- but CUP HOLDERSSSSSSSS

 

Don't tacomas have like 13 cup holders? I would think you could spare two.

 

5 cup holders and 4 seats in the access cab. kinda of a pain in the ass on a 15hr drive.

 

concord ftw

 

Dude I thought the same thing! I was like "when the fuck was I in Clayton!?"

Right you are sir! Nice attention to detail.

Dude we like you here in the north bay... Couldn't have bothered to come up here eh?!

 

@ffdawson you work for any of the FF departments around Petaluma?

 

And... I need to hand out an early TW award. For the nicest, most helpful dude on the planet... My man!

Blake. Aka @tacomgee

So here's the scoop. Blake swings by today to grab a map from me and some quick info on the trails in and around MNF.

I manage to Tom Sawyer this dude in helping me with this...



MASSIVE oak tree limb fell and hit my neighbors house. Neighbors are an awesome older couple in their 70's. They're out town for the weekend. I figure ill be a good neighbor and hack some of the shit up so they can get their car in when they get home...

Turns into a 5 hour chainsaw fest with Blake swamping for me, and me lopping off huge 250lb rounds and Blake hoisting them out like the man-beast he is.

Finally we get most of it dropped and cleaned up, and enough of a path for the neighbors to get in and out safely.

Long story longer, Blake rolls to my house, brings me beer, and volunteers for 5 hours of back breaking manual labor all for the benefit of some people he's never met. AFTER working a whole days shift at his job! My neighbor made it home at around 7 and was so thankful she was in tears. Obviously she was devastated that the tree came down, but the fact that we busted our asses and cleaned it up made her day.

So, Blake, thank you. You are a stand up guy, which I already knew, but now you have elevated yourself to somebody I think very highly of. Like this post, and buy Blake a beer when you see him, he's a good dude.

Final product.

 

I work for El Cerrito Fire Dept.

I think you guys can run this kit like me. Forward shift triple stick.

 

Got'cha, my Brother works at the station in Penngrove, I think it's Rancho Adobe?

 

Damn! Blake helped out at Codys for a couple hours on my truck and I thought that was nice, but that is some fuckin Boy Scout shit. Props @tacomgee

 

Get a room!


Kidding. Blakes a good dude.

 

Oh right on, I'm right up the street from there.

 

Weird name. Or maybe I'm just weird!

 

Both of y'all can be my neighbors anytime! Good to see peeps helping peeps out!
