Western Massachusetts Tacomas

This summer, like I said, I will take you out to some off road trails up here. As long as you are willing to make to drive to the Springfield area....

 

I didn't have to do the CMC with these.

 

That's not bad. It's a little over an hour for me.

 

What color are the wheels? Also do you have any pictures of your old truck when these were on it?

I am trying to do a bit of quick research to see if I can find how these would look on an mgm color truck.

 

Also pulled the trigger on ordering new windows for the house yesterday

 

big money, but totally worth it if the old ones are shot!

 

Morning

 

They are matte "bronze". I have center caps, but liked them better without. The trd centercaps from the trd beadlock wheels fit as well

 

They definitely are past their prime. All single pane, with storm windows, and deteriorated glazing. A handful of the windowsills are rotted.



And I know they were never flashed properly or insulated where the window meets the rough framing (assuming that based on lack of flashing and insulation for all of the exterior doors I replaced on the house).

Our living room window is like 6 feet x 7 feet, and our storm windows for that one broke when we first moved in; so thats a single pane with only a sheet of plastic over it. And its painted over so much we cant open it; such a waste of a massive window when its nice enough to open them..



Please ignore the pile of little Michaels toys..

We are not sure how long we will be here until our family outgrows the house. We love the house and dont want to move, but another little one would really tighten things up. After initially wanting to go with Anderson, we landed on Matthews Brothers. Still going new construction due to the rot/flashing concerns but we couldn’t justify the cost of the Andersons without knowing if we would be here a while.

 

I did window world in NC and bounced. Even though they were cheap it was still a legit upgrade from the 40 year old windows that were drafty as hell. So i didn't feel bad.

 

So wheel almost fell off driving today. Tech must have been having an off day. One lug completely missing, rest of them barely on.

Lady tells me if I pay to tow it to them they’ll check it out. LOL

they are towing it back as we speak. Usually great service so I’ll chalk it up to a bad day.

 

Dealer tech? Smdh..

 

Yeah oil change and tire rotate. This is my first bad experience with them with 3 cars and like 5 years. So, maybe a new guy or something I dunno.

I figure while it’s there, let’s make sure the oils full and the rest are all set...

 

Truck is all set. Said this has happened a few times recently and they are looking into it.

they have tapes in their shop and they reviewed them before getting upset with anyone, and the tech did the wheel. All my other wheels are right and this one was good for maybe 50-70miles.

anyways, they took care of it, didn’t blame me and it’s waiting to pick up. Still happy with them

 

They washed the car doc, totally worth it

 

Morning

 

Perfect oil changing weather today....so I did.
