Alabama thread!

hahaha! I totally get the missing a vehicle thing though. I still miss my old '89 Toyota Pickup but it's always been Toyota's for me so it's not really "going back" to anything. I will own another old square body though one day, old 4runner, hilux, possibly land cruiser idk. I just love old toyotas.

 

I think you could. @ajohnson tows his 4Runner on a flatbed I believe

This is the most I've towed. It was wet sod scooped by Skidsteer.

 

Honestly never had this feeling. But I can pick up what you're putting down. lol

 

I really like my new Taco but HATE the IFS. I can't even take this thing off road without having to adjust the alignment and then you can't really run 35's easily without dumping a shit ton of money into them. Miss that straight axle ride.

 

You could always just SAS the taco? lmao

Oh yeah. Money.

 

Or I could sell my taco for around 16ish maybe more and buy a 3k XJ haha That's a lot of extra scratch for a nice long arm lift, new tires, and a new front bumper. It already has a rear tire carrier and rails for my RTT!

 

Quick question, I've been gone a couple months and drove the truck the other day and I'm starting to get bad wobbles when I hit 65mph or higher. I know I need to replace my upper ball joints and haven't had an alignment in a while. Would that fix the problem? Not very mechanically incline except for the basic up keep on it.

 

If it sat for a while, the first thing I thought was that your tires could have developed a flat spot, though I'm sure you would notice that at low speeds as well.

 

See thats what I thought at first but tires are all good and it only happens at higher speeds

 

hey any of you homegirls using Nest thermostat or smoke detectors in your house? or possibly Ecobee?

 

I have a Nest thermostat and its awesome!

 

elaborate please? what made you choose it over something else? anything you don't like or wish it did? has it actually saved you money?

 

Honestly, it was already in the house when I bought it. But once I finally figured out how to properly use it I have noticed a small save in money. With it being wifi based, setting your schedules is easy, and if you forget to turn it on or off the app is very easy to use. I have mine turn "off" after 6AM and turn back "on" at 3PM. It also lets you set your max and min temps like any other thermostat so it doesn't have to bust ass to get to the temp you want it to. It will definitely be purchased again when I move into my next house and I will prolly add the Nest Protect. It detects smoke and carbon dioxide as well. All their products link together very nicely and as I mentioned before...the user interface is very simple.

 

I'm highly considering the thermostat, I can't justify the protect....seeing as how you would need multiple in a house..

 

I have a Honeywell programmable wifi model that I love. The app is easy to use from my iPhone and I can change schedules turn on/off etc remotely. I'm not sure how the other competitors compare but I know there is no subscription service or anything required with the Honeywell.

 

sounds extremely like the nest.

 

This is the one I went with. I've had mine for 2+ years now with no issues. Was very easy to install myself and it was my first ever attempt at installing a thermostat.

Edited post as I found a cheaper listing for same model number.

No doubt!
