    So I've been seeing two tacos in Martinez lately. One is a silver 3rd gen with a cab-height-ish bed rack, rotopax, and an RTT, and another is a silver 2.5 gen, pelfrey front, usually on Center Ave. Anyone here?

    Looks like another Honda clone.

    I have the Wen (from Amazon) with the same. 1600/2000 specs.
    52db and it peered two refrigerators along with other electronics just fine. Eco mode is awesome!

    That's blasphemy in the motox world, and as a Yamaha rider I am thoroughly offended.

    I was looking at the harbor freight one too. They seem comparable. Costco was slightly cheaper and I go there way more than harbor freight... so if I need to return it should be no problems.
    Thanks for the input!

    Really not fair all the talk I have of this place but damn someone pick a date and let's meet up here on a Saturday night for dinner.

    I can make a reservation as long as there's 12 or more.

    Friend of ours bought that exact unit last weekend from the Costco he was camping out at (evac shelter was their parking lot).
    It’s super quiet. I’d definitely get one.

    Great! That was a concern. It’s rated a little higher for decibels than the Yamaha generator my parents have. Good to know it’s quiet. Thanks!

    Some really cool shit
    Everything is under control, last I checked. The biggest concern was the one in Lafeyette, but they got it under control quickly. The smoke was pretty bad at our house for a bit. My concern was embers floating into the East Bay Regional Parks area, and possibly Leona Canyon area, where we live. It was fine here. But after seeing what has happened in the state in the last couple years, you get nervous.

    doing some window shopping and research on front suspension while i wait for my national guard enlistment bonus to come in.

    i was looking at these toytech boss 2.5 extended travel coil overs 25ttboss_2.jpg


    but then it says
    "**Designed for use with aftermarket upper control arms.
    *Recommended for use with stock lower control arms. May not fit aftermarket lower control arms"


    anybody have experience with these? what uppers/lowers would work?
    i'd hate to get them and then not be able to get aftermarket lowers later on without having to swap the coilovers too
