I'll bring more gas

 

I can't wait to for spring! It's gonna be another epic Ardbeg trip.

 

I still have to pay a visit to a particular tree

 

Haha, you and me both.

 

Is that Boy Scout or Spetsnaz fire starter?

 

Thats a Girl Scout (Russian edition) fire starter kit, thinking next time to do the Boy Scout one...

 

If that's the Russian Girl Scout Edition, I'm assuming the Spetznaz Edition would be....



... don't forget to bring the kasha.

 

Nice. We’re they expensive and do they fit snug? Also where did you get them. I got holes galore. If they are cheap enough I may consider it for the front.

I’m hoping my junk will be ready.

 

any issues with the OPP and that front plate placement?

 

You can buy the plugs at NAPA for about $10 a bag.

They fit snug going in. They do move around a bit once they're in though. I'm planning on adding just and dab of rtv sealant to hold them in place.
Partsource has them for like 67¢ a piece. Lowe's also carries them for $1.79 per 2 pack. Watch out for Lowe's ones though, they have dull and shiny ones under the same part numbers.

 

I had some rub on the husky front mud flaps. I'm going to re installing them if i can get them secure. I can only imagine what'll become of the rocker panels with no mud gaurds.

 

I have had it there for close to three or 4 years and haven’t run into any issues. However as Of right now I think I have been lucky considering some stories I have heard.

Thank you gents.

 

Fuck...really? Is it the placement? I'm surprised I haven't been stopped. My covers are slightly tinted and usually caked with some debris or another.

 

Placement, covers, brighteness of the lights showing the plate....

For my flat bed i need marker lights, tail lights have to be relocated to the edges. Lots of little rules.

 

Hopefully iedls poly carrier bearing and rear drum hardware kit install tomorrow.

 

Hmm.. good to know

 

How many km’s Do you have to have to do the drums already?

 

209000. As far as the service records show they're original. I'm doing the shoes and the replacement spring kit. While I'm there I can check for any hub run-out. Got a depth gauge and a magnetic mount for it for under $50 from a princess auto sale.

 

Newish here. Been a long time lurker really but Been a Tacoma owner for a few years. Had a 4cyl access cab 5spd 4x4 that I loved. Sure it was gutless but was decent on fuel. But due to injury a 5spd was a chore and with a growing family I needed a double cab so now I have a 2015 Tacoma SR5 double cab V6 4x4 auto.

My trucks bone stock at the moment with the exception of a cap and 265/70r16 rubber. It’s been to ardbeg at least a half dozen times (planning to head up again in may) but only really to the tow the bikes and atvs to the beach as the taco is my daily, thus don’t want to damage it and I just enjoy riding dirt bikes off road more than anything else. I have completed the south trail on the bike myself and done a good portion of the north trail on both my bike and the wife’s ATV.

I love my truck for the most part but the miserable fuel mileage combined with the modest power add up to some frustration. I mean seriously my 2011 F150 and my 1994 F250 had gotten better average mileage than this truck and obviously towed far far better. But the taco just fits my life style better and pulls the 15’ trailer with the bikes and ATV ok I just need to accept having tolerance on it a bit more.

My trucks paid for so I really can’t justify buying something better on fuel but I am thinking about switching back to the stock 245/75r16 (lighter) changing to synthetic oils all around (engines always had synthetic) and maybe getting a intake and exhaust to at least make it sound powerful lol.

On way to ardbeg last summer towing one Polaris Sportsman and 2 Yamaha TW200s. The F150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost is my brothers hauling a Honda Recon and a Suzuki Ozark in his enclosed trailer.



Quick breaky in town before hitting the south trail. Only the two bikes and the yellow ATV attempted and completed the whole trail
