Tacos in St. Louis area

The panels aren’t only to keep you from breathing on it... but built to keep other erect things off the car. Lol

 

You want a 27f

Stock is a 24f.

 

Unless you put in an aftermarket charging system, it’s not going to happen. What most people do is throw it on a charger once a month or so to top it off.

If you don’t, it’s not a big deal, it just won’t last quite as long. Think 5 years instead of 5.5.

 

You serve as inspiration for all

 

If I wasn't going out of the country in two weeks....

PS might have access to a Hilux while I'm out and about.

 

You’re not wrong. I’ve actually been blessed to be able to study in person two different 550 chassis and drive - not in anger - a 718 RSK which is what they later evolved into. Brilliant machines that until you wrap your head around trailing throttle oversteer will scare the crap out of you. I watched a test driver spin a 550 four times before he gently peddled it back to the pits and surrendered.

At one time I had planned to commission a replica Pre A 356 coupe from an outfit in California and take it to track days and amateur club racing but in my declining physical condition I don’t reckon I could do five laps fighting a rear engine car without power steering. During a trip west I stopped at a replica manufacturer to look at their coupes and while they were fantastic I decided to abandon the race car plans which gave hope to a Speedster replica instead which is a plan my son completely embraces. Here’s a video of one of their customers cars with a surprise twist and some slick modern upgrades.

 

Good to know, heard about some voltage booster options but a little leary about something like that

 

I just throw mine on a battery tender from time to time (mostly when I think of it or my truck won’t be moving for a while). I’d much rather not mess with the factory electrical and cause myself problems for no real gain.

 

Do it anyway! I'll come install them while you're gone

 

If you could go ahead and bring me back a hilux rugged X with MT, I’d really appreciate it

 

Woah woah woah. Be careful throwing offers like that around or I’ll have a room full of parts for you to install while I’m gone lol

 

Maybe I can find a regulator or something and just plug it in when I get home like all the guys with diesels do

 

Haha Timm only lives like 5 mins down the road, Wife would get suspicious if I start going to Iowa and back a few times a week lol

 

Turns out the mystery knocker at 9:30 was the AT&T guy, there to fix my internet two days ahead of schedule and unannounced before arriving. Apparently my line had got cut...again...after the same issue was repaired a month or so back.

 

Wasnt me

 

You can just get the pigtail with the rings that go on the terminal, then it’s just a SAE connection to plug in

 

I wouldn't need a regulator or anything to tell it to shut off once the battery is fully charged?

 

The battery tenders do that automatically. It charges up, then switches to float / maintain.
