there u goo hieu

 

well i have a knocking noise sometimes but its right as the engine cranks over but its from my stupid ass intake its a pos, the cone always hits the heat shield so it makes a kocking/vibrating noise sometimes its annoying as hell!!

 

Haha i know exactly what your talking about Alex

 

knocking noise pcv replacement?

 

lol i already asked a question in there no body answered.

for some reason the knocking just stopped today.. we'll see how my truck acts later on..

Any body doing anything cool this weekend?

 

Would anyone know a good exhaust shop thats low priced but has good work?.. just got my dynomax muffler in wanna see how much it'll cost to install..

 

That knocking noise was caused by the oil filter. It has an anti-drainback valve which, once removed, removes oil from your engine passages that usually remain filled with oil. Upon starting the engine, it may take several seconds for oil pressure to reach normal levels and achieve quiet operation. On my xterra forums alot of people have experienced the same thing. Once all that oil has been drained out, it takes a little driving to get it all moving again. Typically the knocking is caused by a portion of air going through your cylinders instead of oil.

The guy that I went to was cool, I think his shop was called TNT mufflers. He gave a good deal and did some kick ass work. Plus he threw in some custom hangers.

 

Alright, back from vacation. Ester, you mentioned the Farmington Xterra. It's awesome. This will be the third year for it. I swim with, Eric Edgerton, one of the guys that started it. He's in his 40's but will hand most guys half his age their asses on a platter. I did the first year as a team. I was the swimmer. We got third place! I didn't do last year's because I was out of town. I'll be back for this year though. You up for it?

 

I can't commit to saying yes right now...haven't been working out a lot just some small mtn bike rides, but if those 150 spots don't fill up, yea I'll be there. Course looks sick!!

 

well i keep tellin everyone about where i got mine done the guy tony is a really cool guy always helps me out every time i stop by.

i know you havent heard my exhaust but i love it and the other guys that have heard it seem to like it too, but then again i do have a magnaflow haha

anyway its call jims 66 on central across from dions east of san mateo

 

It's 10 weeks away. If you're going to commit to it, you probably should in the next couple of weeks. At least for me, once I have money invested, I take the training more seriously. 6-8 weeks of semi-serious training is good enough to get you through it without embarrassing yourself. I plan to do it. It doesn't look like the date is going to interfere with the wheelers coming up here.

It's a tough course but an awesome one. I heard that in only its second year it was rated one of the top 5 courses on the entire nationwide Xterra tour. The trails that you run and bike through are on the far side of the land that is so popular for off roading.

 

i kno ive asked like 3 times ha ha but im gonna check tony!

 

Cool thanks alex i'll take a look at the shop..would you happen to know how he prices things? i'm knida on a budget

 

well mine wasnt to bad well at least i think it was 400 for the muffler the 2 tips and the piping and the labor but stop by and see what he tells you, tell him alex in the red single cab taco sent you im sure he will try and help you out the best he can.

anyway guys i have a new NM thread and i know kevin will be all over this one haha.

its for TW NM Decals for all of us i really got to know what you guys want and how many so i can start the process and give you guys the costs for everything.

so here is the link: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/south-west/83513-new-mexico-decals-what-do-you-guys-think.html

 

sweet alex, but i think my son could give ya a run for the money on the crayon work

 

Hey Alex. You get any of the pics or video from Sunday yet? I gotta see those pics.

 

Finally got some pics of the new tires on the painted wheels. Looks pretty mean. Got a heck of a deal. What do you guys think.....Total Chaos UCA's or Light Racing?

 

the km2s looking good, you need some tinted tails!

 

Tc are for some what hardcore off roading..LR's will do for the average off roader

Nice rig

i wanted to paint my rims also. any tips?

 

Looks feckin sick Bo...!
Igot LR UCAs, they're more affordable, and suited just fine to a 2.5- 3" lift . I didnt need to go for the high end LT set up cause thats not the first step, and its major $$$... thats what i got from talking with toytec. I also got em for ~400 with the group buy. you can pm toytec or neubs for a discount code. Last thing for me (for now) I am saving up for the dakar leaf pack and a few trimmings and i am ready!!!....ummm, that is til I win the lottery and go stage 4 IVD longtravel!!!! which isnt happening,so I'll just be happy with what i got. It aint shabby.
you planning for shocks and springs yet?
