GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

was FAA test hard?

 

You are right, Gravyonics as I call it. No playing in Skydrol, Fuel Tanks, cutting yourself on cotter pins. Im stupid when it comes to electonics. Good advice for the guy though!

The writtens are as hard as you make them to be, study study study, memorize those questions in the little paper back books you should have 3 General, Airframe, Powerplant. The oral and practical is a hit or miss thing to be honest, mostly depends on your DME you take it with. But also be mindful if it is very easy, or very expensive be weary because the FAA has recalled peoples licenses before because of (paid for passed tests). Not saying there are a lot of DMEs that would or do that (just my 2 cents). I took my oral and practical there at the school and yes it was hard. I started the test (I took all 3 in one day) @7am and finished it @ 12 midnight but when I passed it felt awsome! I had to time a magneto, do some sheetmetal work, buck some rivets, do an ops check on the landing gear of a plane, determine flight control cable diameter... thats mainly what I remember. But it could be anything whatever your DME wants you to do.

Yeah wasnt me, my truck looks the same as my pics accept for painted black lower valance. I havnt seen a lot of speedway blues around the boro. There was a nice looking Silver Tacoma at Franklin parked out front for a while. I never got a chance to go check it out. It was lifted and had I think 20's on it lol

 

Yea I seen that one...they wanted like $39k! Sales guy was some young kid tryin to tell me that 2010 was the first year for the Trd sport 4x4. I just walked away

 

Btw what's all yall's opinion on these treadwright retreads?

Never trust a retread!! They'll leave you stranded in some place you don't want to be,,,,

 

I agree with rme. I've been in the tire business for 15 years and have seen hundreds of retread failures, some causing significant damage and/or wrecks. Not saying they haven't come a long way over the years, i just couldn't trust them.

 

Yea I can agree with u Chris since u have experience in this field. But reading their website they have alot of good reviews and some owners pics (including tacomas). With the prices they want theyd make a good spare or offroad set if anything.

 

Anyone wanna go wheeling tomorrow up in N GA?

 

Hello from the N Ga area. The city of Clayton in Rabun county

 

any other weekend and id be down for it mac, ill be busy all day saturday though

 

I should have said weekend. I will be out of town next weekend. We need to get a trail day together up at amicolola or somewhere else.

 

Sunday?

 

I'm free sunday

 

Meet at noon at the Kroger gas station at 400 and hwy 52?

 

If we're gonna do amicolola, its actually kinda outta my way to go that way. I live in Canton/Ball Ground so Its quicker for me to take 575N and pick up 136 in Talking Rock which puts me out on 52 right at the park. Any other ideas for a meeting spot?

 

we could meet at the park at like 1ish

 

that'll do. I will PM you with my #.


Anyone else wanna come?

 

I wish I could!

 

Georgian here- way down in Columbus.GA - my home sweet home

 

so the meet is still going to be at wild wings
