Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Who dat? I don't recognize that truck at all...

 

Icon was the shit for a little bit. That’s way they were considered but digging around here they seem to have more constant issues than others

 

Royal Putple or Mobil 1 for the engine?

 

The wife just sent me this:





...sad day.

They make their own Carolina Reaper ketchup for some of their dogs, and it's amazing!
I hope they get back up and going soon.

 

Mobil 1

 

Damn, I bought Pennzoil and a K&N filter.

 

Haaaaayyyyyy <3

 

Yeah, and I personally didn't like the ride quality when I rode in a couple Icon equipped trucks. Seemed very rough

 

O rly...

 

For my cheapass I get the Costco 6 qt case of Mobil 1 for $27 and use the Mobil 1 rebate for $12.

 

Didn’t feel like fighting the Costco crowd

 

Learn where your stuff is. Go at 0945. You will be in and out in no time. Do not linger. Do not taste the goodies. Get what you went for and get out. Trust me.

 

I stick with the 5qt jugs either via Amazon or Walmart, and then I add 1/2 qt from a 6/pk that I purchased months ago.
$24.xx for the 5qt.

 

@Fernando
Think I saw somewhere that you had your rear swing out custom made. Someone local to NorCal do that? I’ll be looking to get my swing out redone this summer

 

Yup. @HotMetalFAb in loomis. Give brad a buzz

 

I’ve used Mobil 1, Pennzoil and Castrol they are basically all the same. I’ll be picking up Pennzoil 5 qt jugs from Amazon as they are $24 and have a $10 rebate. No stores and easy to submit the rebates.

Pennzoil 550045195 Platinum 5 quart 5W-30 High Mileage Motor Oil

$25 Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage Full Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil, 5 Quart

I've been told the most important thing is just sticking to one of them since they probably have different additives. Some of the detergents in one may try to remove the additives from previous or vice versa. No problem switching but consistency should be the best for any quality brand

 

Mobil 1 for engine, diffs, tcase. Genuine Toyota ATF for trans.

Like Ian said, hit Costco the right time/day and you can be out quick.

 

I grab my Pennzoil Platinum 5 qt jugs from Walmart, hard to beat, and nearby on my routes (or I make it happen in advance). Just choose slow times and beeline in and out before

 

God ol mighty. No bueno.
