AZ BS Thread 4²0

They’re all over base, even since September. This was last year. I’m patiently waiting for this year’s antics.

Yeah I know my truck is in good shape and I was the last one to work on the suspension with hand tools and a torque wrench. When Firestone told me they couldnt undo the one bolt, I just said ok and picked it up, didnt even bother asking. Im sure they had the wrench on the locking nut and the actual cam adjustment nut (what your picture is) at the same time.

Per Toyota the 30k is oil/filter, air filter, cabin filter, top off fluids, and other BS stuff like tire rotation. Recommend brake fluid flush and "fuel system check" but not necessary. My brake/coolant/PS fluids all look practically new so Im not going to flush them just yet. As for diff/t-case/trans I will think about that in the relatively near future, 30k seems overkill to me.

 

Getting the final free service 25k service on Monday.

Got them looking at the hood flutter at freeway speed and over bumps, see what they see.

I would just jam some permatex in there to fix it, but let’s see what they do.

Afterward all the service is on me, time for a oil filter cover and fumoto valve!

 

I recall seeing this is a common issue and "normal" per Toyota. My truck does it but minimally compared to what others have experienced.

 

It’s only annoying when it’s clean and sun hits the hood, then at freeway speeds it vibrates pretty good.

Oh and the dryer fans at the car wash make the hood dance the mamba, so there is that.

 

What Acura dealership? You are right about the snack bar. I've gotten 6 vehicles from Acura of Peoria. 3 of which were big 3 American duds. Cobalt, Explorer and Buick Enclave. Also a Mazda 3 (before the big smile) that was a decent car. When the time comes for another I'll be going back there.

 

Any suggestions for some weekend road trips in January? I'd like to head up to Utah but I'm thinking it will be too cold and snowy for the wife. I'd also consider ABQ, Santa Fe, or even SoCal--although we've been there plenty of times so I'd rather do that when we have more time to explore. We don't have to go out of state but I do want something that I gotta drive for at least a couple hours to get there.

 

Southern AZ bisbee tombstone check out the old western movie site along the azbdr

 

Yeah I did a bit of Googling and Bisebee definitely looked interesting. I might go with that and the Kartchner Caverns. I was also thinking of a longer drive up to St. George, Utah, but that might be better for a longer trip where we can go to Zion National Park while we're up there.

 

heck yeah, I feel the urge to go the Acura dealer now!

The MIL has a new Acura, so I will be stopping by at some point

 

Any of you guys go back and forth from North Scottsdale to Downtown Phx or Chandler/Gilbert?

Looking for a TW Express run.

 

@T-Rex266

Do you randomly delete users posts that don't break the forum rules?

 

Or top golf. Drinks and smashing balls

Seems like we have a tale as old as time...again... much like the 1930-40s in Eastern Europe.

Nothing has changed on this site. Yes, someone crosses a line and the mods do their job and clean things up. However, they stick around and instigate people. Show the internet that they are watching. THIS is what starts to frustrate the masses, someone decides to vent a little to much for the mods and then they ban them too. Now, people are frustrated with the constant cycle.

I have been a member of this site for many many years. It is always changing, people come and go, sometimes by their own life changes and sometimes because of the BS. However, the last year or so has been the worst. Many good members of this site were removed, we survived. Since then more and more seem to be getting picked off, some for good reason and some not. Funny, it isn't the old school mods that have been around for a long time that come in here and keep instigating people, its the younger bucks.

That is the main reason I only come around one or twice every couple of days, still some good people.

Like was already said by one of them, don't criticize the mods or else. Don't ask questions or else.
