Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I don’t have time to go, haven’t been there in 20 years. Hunting will have to do for now

 

Gas delivery , new truck ! What a day

 

Can I buy the red tip?!

 

Congrats Shane! You've come to the dark side

Does it have the push button start? I know with a small fleet of vehicles my '21 is the only one with a push start. I get all confuzzled going from one to the other

 

Ur old truck looked so sad sitting by itself. Hard to say goodbye to old friends

 

Vehicles I've sold have been out of choice and to upgrade so while I'm not necessarily happy to see them go, I'm not displeased, either.

Except for the Fiat. That one I was forced into letting go. Watching it get trailered off wasn't awesome. Would have needed to do it sooner or later anyway, I guess.

 

Congratulations man! That's awesome, I am biased as a 3rd gen owner though. I hate to see a good 1st gen go, but you know someone else will keep on enjoying it for years.

 

Removed 5 exhaust nuts today in under an hour using the wax method.

It works

Hopefully I'll be able to get the O2 sensors out.

Went to Dallas this weekend, on the way you can see the refinery working.

Some really good food here

Now I'm waiting for these to come in

 

It does have push button start.

 

I hated to see it go but it needed some work. Had an oil leak from somewhere, you could smell it. I never did find it, I looked numerous times. The rack and pinion was leaking, drivers side window motor needed replacing, etc, etc. normal 205k mile stuff. I was just tired of spending on it and I wanted a long bed.

 

I took the front hitch off and the carhartt seat covers. It had bucket seats. They’re grey, only have the front. Cleaned 2 boxes worth of “stuff” out of it.

 

Congrats on the new truck

 

Thanks!

I was wondering what the “XP” was on the door for, apparently it was a package and this one has it all.

That’s awesome

 

AmeriGas -- One of my moms rules was "if you can't say something nice then don't say anything".

 

Customer came in the store this evening, he has a black four door long bed Tacoma. It looks brand new, he’s always taken care of his stuff. He said I wish I knew you wanted a truck, I’da sold you mine. I said what model is it? 2017, miles? Less than 20,000. How much?..............$34,000

 

It's a silly way to run a business.
