Oxygen?

 

@JKO1998 There's gotta be a Rancherito's or Beto's there in Herriman too. Grab yourself the voted best hangover burrito in the state of Utah weighs like 2.5 lbs and is made of whole food. They crack real eggs there and use fresh real tortillas too, looks sketch but it's legit the best

 

I think we’ll go to breakfast at some point

 

I just went over 14000 posts..... I don't think that's something to be proud of.....

 

Those are rookie numbers

 

Finally pulled over and got a pic of this sweet 60 series that's always parked here. Dude owns a lil sandwich shop. Cool af

 

You see that pic of the hundred series in the junkyard? First time I've seen one in a pic n pull. I have seen only one 80 series in a junkyard
You get your mom's issue figgered out?

 

God fucking damn.

I'm halfway through crossing the street from my parking to the bagel bakery. There's a right turn that people just jet through even though there's a stop sign; fucking lady almost ran me over by running through the stop and honks at me for saying WTF?!

 

'good morning to you too' kinda thing?! Lol

 

4th times the charm?

 

No shit right?

I'm super easy going but pull some shit like that, the marine comes out.

 

FIFY
YOU control when that comes out, people do dumb shit literally ALL THE TIME, but it's people like me and you that have learned that nobody can control our emotions or our reactions... preaching to the choir this early in the morn, my bad hermano. But I'm saying it more for others that haven't gotten this yet
It's actually one of the things I appreciate about you. You are ALWAYS you, at least here on tacomaworld lol

 

Haven't heard that in forever lmaooooo
Remember the skit before the song Soldier? That skit where they chillin in the car waiting for Kim? And then they see the bouncer? Lolol

So, over the last week and a half I have tried, twice, from two different retailers, to buy new front suspension for my rig and both times they couldn't come through. First time was through Wheeler's. Made the order online for King's front and rear. They took my money then I got an email saying the fronts were out of stock and the rear would not be a good option for my rig. Asked why they have things on their website listed specifically for my vehicle and then tell me it's not a good choice. Also asked why they took my money if they didn't have the product on hand. Lots of bullshit answers/excuses so I ask to cancel the order. Sure they can do that but "we have been bought by Trail Gear and all our systems are in turmoil right now so it will take a few days." Fine, I guess patience is a virtue.

So I wait, for a week, and see the refund for the rears but not the fronts. Email asking where they are in the refund process and get the run-around "we're really backed up here" crap. Okay, more patience.

In the meantime I have been specing out another option through Accutune. went back and forth with a pre-sales guy and everything looks good so I'm ready but can't actually buy it yet because Wheeler's has yet to refund my money. Since I was annoyed at Wheeler's I was going to sooth my soul by buying an even better system than I was going to (was going to go simple and spend $2k at Wheelers - now I'm looking at a bit over $4k at Accutune).

Eventually Wheeler's gets my money back to me and I go ahead and buy the Fox setup from Accutune. See the money leave my account. Get an email thanking me for the purchase and them wanting to know some information on my weight, weight distribution, driving style etc so they can tune the shocks and set up the flutter stacks prior to shipping them out to me. Give them all that information and I am getting excited now. Going from Stock to the existing Old Man Emu kit made a nice difference and I have been using the hell out of that since 2015 but now I was going to take a pretty big step up in quality and tuneability and rebuild ability etc. Nope.

Soon after get another email from Accutune saying "Uh, sorry, we looked and don't have either your fronts OR rears in stock and Fox is 3-4 months backed up because they blah blah blah. What do you want to do?" What I want to do is buy a product from a company who doesn't essentially false advertise that they have that product and who takes my money before looking to see if they have it in stock. One blurb from the sales guy's email - "Our website doesn't have a good representation of what we have in stock." I responded something along the lines of: "It's one thing for a website to not show me product in stock. That's bad, but what I don't know can't hurt me and only hurts your chances at a sale. What is far worse is showing me product on the website that you do not have and then taking my money before your system figures that out." It's 2020 for fuck's sake. Cancelled my order, again.

I still don't have my money back from Accutune yet.

Anyone know a place that doesn't work/act like a web store from the mid-90's?

 

Wheelers was bought by trail gear? Man soon your only options will be TG or marlin if you want toyota parts.

A buggy with AC is looking better and better for my next rig.

 

I think the my heater valve needs replacing. The hoses running through it are warmer on the engine side and a little cooler on the heater core side. I can’t tell if the interior valve is working but the cable is moving on the outside. It blows just cold air no matter what I have the temp on. Does this sound like it needs just a new valve?

 

That's absolute crap dude. Sorry to hear that. And messing with that large a sum of money and waiting around on businesses SUUUUUCKS. Especially since you're not some 19 year old tire kicker, a real legit customer wanting to spend good money!
