Bummed because I guess they are out of stock also. So either lay $300 shipping from California or wait a few months. Was really hoping to have it for the monsoon season but that’s what I get for waiting.

 

It was a Car-B-Que that caused it. Pour maintenance, bad manufacturing, general vehicle stupidity... sure it was something like that. Not malice thought.

North Rim is on fire, so is the Superstitions.

 

Ignorance is not an excuse.

 

Mount Lemmon near tucson is getting torched today. Makes me so sad

 

So much of the state is on fire right now, so crazy.

 

Hola tw peeps.

It's fun to login after forever.

How is everyone doing?

 

Moved here a few months ago, just got a tacoma and have a ton of camping/mod ideas... Then tonto had to burn down

At least the mall isn't on fire, so I can still use the truck for what it is intended for!

 

if you guys want a standard 6’ awning hit up Jim from GoldDog tents he’s an awesome guy! He’s local, family ran, and veteran owned business. He’s up in north Mesa right off the 202 and will also install awnings or RTT for free.
I believe his awning are only $200 cash or no cash is +tax of course. W/free install

 

Im hoping to have the Blazer buttoned up enough to get it to Flagstaff for some mountain biking and camping this weekend. Anybody gonna be around and want to join?

 

I'll be riding on Sunday morning if you and/or anybody else makes the trip up.

Would enjoy seeing your Blazer. I saw the photo of your Tacoma. Is the idea to keep it and use it as a stock DD? Or sell it?

 

Cool Ill let you know if/when we make it. For now yes the taco is a DD. My house is set to close on the 8th. When that happens Ill pay off the Taco, use it to move my shit into storage and see which direction the wind blows me...

 

Nice! Congrats! Sold pretty quick huh?

 

Thanks. In the first 4 days I had over 30 showings, got 9 offers, 6 above asking price. Pulled it off the market and went under contract immediately.

 

Anyone have any suggestions on full sized pickups? My dad is looking to get a new one, he was thinking Tundra buy dealer inventory is almost non existent right now it seems. He has never been a Ford fan but we did test drive a F150 and he liked it, going to test drive a Ram 1500 next.
Not going to do any crazy towing or anything, just something that is comfortable and can haul all his hunting and camping stuff along with his side by side.

 

Most comfortable truck i had was a Nissan titan

 

From what I understand the plants making the tundra and taco were affected by the rona and are barely ramping up production again.

Toyota is supposedly coming out with an all new Tundra in 2022 ( I think).

I've got some buddies that swear by First, but again it's gonna come down to personal preference.

Ram and Chevy both recently resigned their trucks and Ford is a bit behind. They did a small facelift for the current model year but the truck is largely unchanged from like 2018.

I know all the manufacturers are doing zero percent financing and stuff.

Gonna be a tough decision to make. I'd he can wait it out Tundras should start showing up again as the plants get back up to speed.

 

He could probably get a steal on a Titan. It's newer than the Tundra and has a better transmission (2020+) yet maintains a nice naturally aspirated V8. My brothers previous gen Titan is rolling towards 200k so I know the engine is good for it.

It being last in sales means your dad might get a good deal on one.

 

Anyone using one of these smittybilt 5.6 cfm compressors? Amazon had it for 140 so I went for it

 

Haven’t used that particular one but I did look into it. It’s one of the highest cfm compressors out there but what turned me off from it was how quickly the cfm dropped as you increase in pressure. Up to 33” tires it will probably be great and work fast, but once you start getting bigger my guess is you’ll end up running it through a duty cycle and having to wait for it to cool down

 

Well I got “34s” so I guess I’ll find out but either way I’m pretty sure it’ll be way faster then my

$91 viair 88p portable compressor kit (12V, 120 psi, forup to 33" tires)
