That name seems vaguely pornographic. Should get him lots of hits

 

i'm a problem solver, what can i say

 

@DoubleRGirl @Spare Parts @GarlicFarts

I don’t have a price in mind. Think really awesome deal tho, those are the types of offers I’m looking for.

also a lot of it is who can get them realistically or not. Either way, be if you guys roll a 20 and let me know!

 

Put me 3rd on the list I don't have a 4runner, where in MA are you?

 

i have a pack of trident stripes gum, and an american flag cb antenna

 

You could call it Old Man Mittens to try and create a loophole...

 

i don't need them, I move to 3rd in line. If Idid, I would still need to convince the wife to allow these big ass things to be in the back of HER 4runner

 

That was my problem lmao, and with the dogs in and out so often it was just not ever installed.

 

Dibs.

NO I AM SPARTACUS!

I will have to see that I have room to mount it under my sleeping platform.

 

long term, it would be good, but the wife isn't ready to give up the runner yet. Once she does then Ill decide which gets kept, the truck or the runner. Maybe both...

 

They will have to total my taco to get me out of it!!!!

 

thats probably what it will come down to.

 

I'm a looooong way from him but it might be worth it. I was there for an hour and apparently the charge circuit fuses ARE installed but there is no relay, he said there are 3 fuses that are all installed for the tow connector and it is a non-replaceable relay (what??) that is part of the fuse panel itself. So they said he needs to put it on a tester. But more important things developed:

THIS IS WHY I DON'T BUY ANYTHING BUT NEW... this morning I remote started and about 20 seconds later I heard my Ford Pass app ding, it says service is due... I'm like "What the fuck, these guys are trying to sell me service already?" so I ignored it and drove to work. At lunch I had to go to the dealer to do some paperwork (that was done incorrectly because it was almost fucking midnight that night) and they owe me an inspection sticker (again, couldn't get done at midnight) so I bring it to the service writer and hop out, go in to finish my paperwork. The service writer says "We can't give you a sticker with a CEL on" and I'm like WTF, it ain't got a CEL... then I remember the app this morning. So he says "I need to run the code before the sticker" and I say, "Well can you show me the fucking CEL because I'm obviously an idiot if I didn't notice it"- NO CEL is showing at all. He's like, "I swear it was there when I just drove it in!" So they run it, and find no codes, just a CEL, he says it's a SOFT CEL and I have to drive it for 100 miles before giving me a sticker.

So I will have to wait until the CEL soft resets itself and then I'll go in and get my sticker and make them fucking replace the trailer connector or whatever because they have no clue about the trailer charge circuit.

 

For whatever it's worth, I checked on what I have in the bag that came with my truck. It's a brake controller harness and a plug for the rear view camera harness in case you remove the tailgate. It makes me believe the trailer charging stuff was already installed in this truck just like my 2018. Only one of the trailers I had behind it had brakes and it didn't give me any warnings about not charging the trailer battery, but it's tough to be sure if it was or not.

I didn't think a code that wasn't showing a CEL (pending code) could impact a sticker.

EDIT: Unless they mean monitors aren't ready because the battery was disconnected or a code was cleared or something. That would explain the 100 mile thing.

 

@DoubleRGirl is in first place. On account everyone else wanted 3rd.

@GarlicFarts i live in Hancock Ma

 

modern vehicles, what fun!

Do you have an OBD reader? Well worth it, I have a BT one - it's great. I know with some at least on the tacoma, I can read and set TPMS codes. I think I can do that with techstream, too, but for example I could get the codes from a truck that they're currently mounted on.

I think you can do all that in forscan too. Also I think Ford is a loooot easier for dealing with TPMS, that was just an example of my recent use for it. But I have used it a few times on the tacoma for other stuff too.

Way the F out there. Okidoki. If I end up as first it would be a while before I could get out there, not sure the next time I'm heading out to Canjo, probably sometime in the summer en route to Michigan

 

I will have Forscan soon, as I am installing my trailer brake controller probably Thursday after work and I need to enable it through Forscan.

 

No post guides on the log splitter? Usually the small trailers have them or have the ability to add them since they are difficult to see.

 

No rush!
