GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

born in augusta and in eastman now going to college

 

post some pics! when the michelins die I am going with either bfg muds or duratracs.

I can't decided on 265/75 or 285/75 though...

WELCOME!

 

get toyo mt's. got them on my truck. good tire

 

I've heard nothin but good things about the Duratracs. They look sick too. I'd like to get a 285 but don't have the money to lift. Might fit better if I had gone with a smaller wheel. Mine are 16x10...so they scrubbed pretty bad.

 

i got a 3 inch lift and 20s and 33s mine scrub on the mud flap. is your truck lifted?

 

im from dublin but goin to school in statesboro...i got a friend going to college in eastman.

 

who is your friend? i prob dont know him cuz i just started in august

 

oh really. this is his 2nd year i think...but he's gotta blk double cab with dc1 wheels his names caleb...theres also a instructor down there with a magnetic grey double cab...blk wheels and supercharged! i used to pass him every mornin when i went to school in cochran

 

yea i seen them both. that supercharged taco is nice. i wish i could have one on my truck.

 

Just a spacer lift to reduce scrubbing.

 

yeah really...maybe one day. lol.

 

I went to school in Eastman. You getttin your A&P or Pilots? I lived there for about 3 years. Got into a good bit of trouble their too lol doing stupid shit. Is aden still their? I work for Gulfstream Aerospace now.

 

AMT right now but after i get done i prob going to do the A&P. did u get co op from gulfstream?

 

Yeah when I was in AMT there about 5 years ago I got a co op at Gulfstream. Got me the job I have now so it was worth it I guess. The base isnt a bad place either though. I had friends co op at Gulfstream then go to Warner Robins AFB and they love it. Just depends on what your looking to do really.

 

do AMT's get paid pretty good? do u know wat the base salary is or base pay?

 

It all depends on if you earn your A&P licenses, where you go to work at, what type of aviation you get into really. For instance your not gonna make as much working on piston poppers as you would in corporate aviation. The airlines im not sure about havnt worked with any. When I started 4 years ago it was around $20 an hour for a Tech/Mech 1 wich is bottom of the barrell. So for a greenhorn it wasnt bad to me. But do all the research you can dude and find out what type of aviation youd like best. Get your foot in the door somewhere learn all you can. Being a greenhorn your gonna get shit jobs at first too, just gotta roll with it though. Keep in mind too if your willing to travel a lot you can pretty much make as much as you want to.

 

highflyinmechanic i thought i passed you the other day in statesboro, but it was a short bed and no blk wheels.

 

the best advice, Avionics
get your FCC radiotelephone with GROL and an A&P
better to be loading a FMS than kicking tires

 

avionics has alot of series parallel circuits and i just dont understand that stuff and engines is my thing

 

I have an A&P never used it that much, but
you will have basic electricity in your general section
