Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Isn’t the axel nut a 35?

 

That is correct

 

Can't stress number five enough. If a shop screws you over because of incompetence, burn them. There's no excuse for that sort of hopnogendry

 

The last time I went to a dealer they took off my pro skid to do an oil change.. and didn’t put it back on right (because the bolt retainers bottomed out before the bolt) and I’ve never been back. Oh and they used like 10x the necessary torque for the filter canister.

tundra has only been to the dealer for the fuel pump and turn signal recall

 

Dealership mine came from was alright with the freebies.....until a Master Tech mansplained to me why cross rotating tires was "bad" for the truck. Ended up doing a 5 tire rotation right there in the write up bay, holding up production, but I made my point in front of him, his boss, and the service writers. Won't ever go back.

 

I'd sure like to hear his logic behind that! I've been doing side to side and front to back rotations since 2017 with great results.

What possible problem could it cause?

 

According to him it can cause tire noise which makes customers upset. I told him in front of his boss that it causes tire noise because you're not rotating him therefore they're wearing unevenly. Then I asked him if he missed tire day at Master Tech college and he didn't like that. Service writer is a buddy of mine though and he about laughed his ass off

 

That's hilarious!

 

Finally got my awning ready to go before my next trip on Monday. I'm currently "testing" it by chilling underneath and drinking in my driveway - perfectly scientific.

 

Back out in the Driftless Area again. Governor Dodge tonight.

 

Any tips on installing the bumper you have? Looking at getting the same one

 

The Southern Style bumper? Nice. Just take your time cutting your truck lol. And watch the YouTube videos.

I put on the center slimline bumper last year. That was a PIA. Then added the Stage 2 last month. I believe it'll be much easier to install the whole thing at one time.

 

You're alive! It's been a while. Did you get a 3rd gen?

 

yea I’m still around. No 3rd gen yet. It comes in 2 weeks. 2021 Pro in super white of course. Already have parts coming in!

 

Nice!! Keeping your 06 I hope. Thought I passed you near Portage a week or two ago. Glad to see you're still around

 

yea the other tacoma is going to stick around for a little bit. I use it a lot for work. However, I am looking to let her go by next spring.
