Idaho BS thread in the PNW

I'd join in some garage shenanigans but I'm about 2 hours away. Although I do plan to be traveling more this coming summer.

It’s mainly gym stuff haha but there’s usually some truck or outdoors stuff as well. Wanting to get out a lot more and adventure this summer.

 

Serpentine belt was getting bad I was told about Sept. Last year , any 100,000 mile maintenance, probably a lot more that I don't know about as well.... my ex was capable of doing a lot of this but never wanted to then after I left I've been busy trying to get my life together again. I'll get there soon I think.

 

I'm definitely down to buy beer and pizza for some help this spring/ summer!!

 

Thats an easy job...better do that sooner than later or it will turn into an emergency.

 

I need to do 150k service some time, if a plan is put together we should all meet up for a big service party.

 

Shit, I'm almost at 150,000 and all I've done is oil changes and spark plugs once... ugh

 

I'm ASE master certified problem is im on the other side of the state.

 

Aww dang!Well that's dumb!! Lol

 

It's all really overwhelming to me though ...just the parts I'll probably need are gonna be expensive and then the time to do it all. Just be easier to trade it in and start over maybe

 

you're supposed to maintain and build it not have factory shit your whole life.

case and point im saving up for a bigger turbo for my diesel and bigger tires for my taco 46's

 

I know... just hard to do after starting your whole life over after 23 years lol. I'll get there again hopefully before I'm too old for this stuff. Im 40 now so hopefully I got a couple more years?

 

see what you do is get all the parts, have some the locals near you change the stuff then you guys all go on a 4wheeling trip and test them out... Usually bring beer, and pizza and that sets everyone square, then you just sit and eat pizza have a beer and while you wait for your truck to get done

 

I used to be one of those dudes that would just fix shit for free. Then I had a kid and now I don't have time to do anything for free.

 

I need some opinions. Trying to select a new tent for this year.....anyone have some good recommendations? A RTT would be nice, but I'm not really wanting to spend a crazy amount on one right now. Unless someone is selling one for cheap...

 

I wish it was that easy, not many have time to just fix trucks all day for pizza and beer, but I'm all for it if we all decide to have a mod/maintenance day or something. I can definitely help with guidance and not afraid to get dirty. I'd like to get sliders so I can take off my crappy side steps and get a mount and mount my hi lift and do fun stuff too but I'd have to find used stuff most likely and haven't had much luck, especially locally.

 

I just have a instant 10 person ozark trail I think I got from walmart, it sets up in like a minute and I love it. I've wanted a truck tent but here mixed reviews on them all the time so I've just stuck with what I have.

 

When I have time to plan a job - RockAuto.com is where I usually find good parts well priced. And I have one of these in my heated shop- if a maintenance party/ trail test were to materialize.

 

Awesome and thank you!! I'll check it out and I'll try to start buying things I need as I can, if all else fails I can just try to youtube mechanic everything?! Lol.

Oh, I just found some front coil springs from a 2015 tacoma for like 20 bucks hardly used or not used, you all think they will work or help my old 2008 if I will be able to find someone to change them out? My truck rides pretty rough so I try to find what I can for cheap...

 

Nevermind, I have a lift... probably not a good idea lol. Been a long week for me...
