Tampa Bay Area Tacomas BS Thread

Yeah I kind of remember that there was not a whole lot on 60 E of Parsons in 72,73.....That place has exploded over the years....

 

Grew up near Valrico & Sydney

 

Any of you go to school on that area? Brandon, Armwood, Bloomingdale?

I did not but know many at each.

 

Haha, I ran the phone cables into Bloomingdale when it was being built.

 

I went to Yates,Williams,Franklin,Mclane and BHS

 

BHS. What class? They always had the best wrestling team in the state.

 

Doooorant! lol

 

I know when that school was built. You're just a pup!

 

would have been 83 but we moved and I went on to King... Yeah they had an impressive 30 plus year winning record funny thing is that they had kids from Plant city district coming to Brandon to wrestle but that was never proven of course...

I think some School form South Fl stopped the winning streak in 2005 or so....

 

Durant? that School was built in like 96 or 97?

 

One of my (still) best friends went to King but I can't recall what class. Would be close to 83, Dawna Mohr. And Sandy Forsythe would have been 83 or so at Brandon. My other friends at BHS were 85-86.

 

It really is a small world...

I have really lost touch with so many people, I do see some every once in awhile when back home. But as I do now I kept/keep a very low profile in HS with a very very small circle of true friends.

 

Anyone in here an electrician or have any friends who are? Dryer crapped out on me, had GE come out but it is either the plug, wiring to the plug or circuit breaker itself

 

Well, damn, you just can't catch a break, yeah? Unfortunately, (knock on wood) that's one thing we haven't really had a need for. If it was A/C or plumbing, I'd recommend Integrity Air for the A/C and Drain Doctors for the plumbing. Can't help with the Electrician though.

That said, replacing the outlet isn't that hard. It's pretty much the same as any other outlet. Replacing the cord on the drier is pretty simple as well. And honestly, the circuit breaker is usually pretty easy to replace as well. Only reason you'd really need an electrician would be if the wiring was bad.

 

10-4 I'll give the outlet at try first and if not then the circuit breaker

 

Circuit breakers are super easy once you know how. It probably takes longer to take the cover off the panel and put it back on than it does to replace the actual circuit breaker. Found this video for ya so you can see how it works.

Oh, and when you change the outlet, be sure to smoke those connections down as tight as you can. If they aren't tight enough, the wires will get hot and burn the insulation off them and then you're screwed. BTW, IMHO, changing the outlet is harder than changing the C/B.

 

Thanks Lee!

 

Forgot to post but on Sunday I got it fixed, changed the circuit breaker, no luck. Changed the outlet and it worked!

 

What's up everyone. So I just ordered some new shocks on all 4 corners, a leaf pack, uca's, bump stops etc...basically a complete suspension upgrade. Was wondering if there was anyone that could possibly assist me with the install. Would also be looking for a place to host this mod day as I live on base and don't really have anywhere to work on the truck. I'm an aircraft hydraulic mechanic so I'm somewhat mechanically inclined but would love to have someone with experience installing these components to assist/teach me some things. I literally just put the order in so it wont be here for a while. Just seeing if anyone would be down to help out.Thanks!
