@mach1man001 .....if you want, I can help you take the bumper off, we can sand and grind down the surface rust, primer it and paint that bitch up.....

 

In that case it's a pretty sweet deal, free fuel basically.

 

Thanks peeps! Very excited, they'll have to fight over who gets the truck in 16 years lol.

 

Will that finally be the time you transition into a 3rd gen.....toyota "might" have worked out all of the next gen problems by then lol.

 

Yeah I've got to do the bumper, sliders and the frame!

 

I keep eyeing vehicles with v8s so idk. In about 7 years I'm supposed to get my dad's 17 Tundra but I'd like something sporty lol

 

Power Wagon. Just remove the hideous stickers from the bed.

 

Tremor > Power Wagon

 

yeah, but it's a Ford.

 

Yeah, that's why I'm saying take it over the Ram

 

No Fords for me.

 

Morning, meat puppets. Happy Friday!

 

Morning! Oh, and:

 

x2 @Noelie84

 

Good start this morning so far guys

 

i like those stickers lol but frankly hell no, payload is less than the flipping QX
Plus it's an FCA product

In everything but offroading.





I have been eyeing things like another QX, Lexus ISF, GSF...not F sports the one's with a v8, LS500, 460, as well as the Inifiniti Q70, M56, and M45

 

Just wait, rumors of a factory winch option are coming. Then, I think it has it beat, or at least equal, off road as well. I think the winch is the only thing the Power Wagon has over the Tremor from the factory.

 

That lot in particular is worth about $55k, but my grandparents bought it for next to nothing when they bought the lake house. It is right across the street.

I may build on it in the future, I may hang on to it and wait for lake-adjacent property values to climb steadily.. and taxes on it now are only about $200 a year.

Bummer I work all of those saturdays

Descaling makes a huge difference!! I got one of those Harbor Freight needle guns and it made that job much easier!

I'm disappointed in you two.. Those gender revealers earlier this year set the bar pretty dang high, and you just completely blew it!

Lol I didn't inspect my FJ for years in MA. Periodically I would go just to laugh at how many things weren't approved by MA laws

After I needle gunned my frame, I went over it with a wire wheel on my angle grinder. Then I wiped it down with surface prep, and I sprayed it with Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator. I'm going to go back over it with Eastwood's Chassis Black this weekend. I think it came out great! It seems to adhere well and it converts all that yucky rust. I'd highly recommend it!

I'd go with an older Chevy, but I don't like walking all that much.

 

Hot damn! Yeah, lake front/across the street in NH will definitely go way up in value as that wave of Boston vacation homes spreads upward. If I'm going to have a lake front house it's going to be my year round, I don't want to drive hours each way each weekend. If I'm going to have that nice house, beach or lake, I'm staying there. I don't see the point of two houses. Unless I can work remote and have one in the south and one back up here with family. I could see myself being a working snowbird at 30.

I stand by what I've said, GM kills it with engines. Past and present, at least the larger displacement ones with trucks. They back it up with a shitty transmission though. I'd love an older silverado with the 5.3 but the transmissions worry me.
