Indiana sign in

I've been on TW for a year and a half and just stumbled on this page.

So Here's Betty and hello to all the Indiana Taco's!

 

Hey all Indy folk - recent Chicago refugee here in the south side of Naptown. We sold our building in the city faster than anticipated so we're currently renting in the Homecroft/Southport area. I won't be doing maintenance in an apartment parking lot, so until we find the right house (and pole barn ), I'll be paying someone to take care of whatever minor fixes my '99 Prerunner needs.

Any good referrals here for a Toyota/general local mechanic? I much prefer working with small businesses anyway.

Shot of my wife and kids leaving the alley for the last time:

 

Sheesh.


I sell Tammy and all of a sudden Indianapolis starts getting members....lol.



Good think I have Freddie 4Runner.

 

What kind of services do you need?

 

I just need a number to add to the contact list. Considering I know no one around here yet, I was hoping to get local recommendations for general maintenance, wear items, chasing noises/leaks, nothing major, and nothing I need at the moment. Stuff I'd be doing in my own garage, for the most part.

 

I'm always down to help a fellow tacoma owner out. Where do you live in indiana?

 

im in avon... cool to see someone close on the forums.

 

Currently renting in Southport, shopping for houses in the general area though as our kids are already going to private school just a bit north of there. I actually looked at a place nearby that had a nice pole barn with a hydraulic lift . Unfortunately it is on an arterial street and with all the new construction in Franklin Township, there's about a million cars a day driving by, and since traffic noise is just one of the reasons we moved out of Chicago...

 

The south east side of Indy (specifically Franklin township) is a cluster F. Its not uncommon to sit at a stop sign for 30 plus cars to go through, on a Saturday. We have some family down there that we visit every few weekends, I cannot imagine what its like during rush hour!!

 

Yeah for sure. This is my current project.

 

Nice! I’m working on power sliding window mod. I Will be digging into it this weekend.

 

The rear window?

 

Yea. Do you happen to have it done ?

 

Yeah the new home construction in Franklin out there is moving way faster than the county can address the traffic situation. They are building those roundabouts all over the place which help somewhat. Of course, I always get stuck behind the granny, or the dolt who thinks they work like a 4 way stop sign intersection. They're not that hard to understand, people! But yeah, with limited east/west arterial streets, everybody hits the same 3 (Thompson, Edgewood, Southport) which are mostly 2 lane roads. In spite of all that though, it's still way less stressful (for us) than the traffic we are accustomed to. I should be able to make it down to Point Blank shooting range in Greenwood (where I'm about to go) in about 5-10 minutes which is just fine by me. My previously neglected Walther will be getting some greatly increased practice time now!

 

Its a nice range, we've been over there on couples night before.

 

Hmm. Don’t know if I ever posted here. But northwest Indiana. The dreaded Chicagoland. Howdy

 

why is there nobody like yourself in my area just 3 states over!
i have been many places in Indiana a long long time ago
... mostly in the southern half

 

Nice to see more and more indiana folk. Feel free to message me if you ever need a 3rd hand. I'm an Airframe & Power plant mechanic.

 

Sounds good. I work for a toyota dealer up here as a tech. If you ever need instructions or what not just ask. i can get them from TIS whenever (newer trucks are a bit more of a pain to get, but i usually just screenshot then send)

 

Yeah I'm also Toyota master certified. I have a lifetime pass to Toyota parts Net. I get 45% off of list every time...
Feel free to middle man me for discounts. I'm down...
