Northern Virginia Roll Call

I hear ya, I just struck out the first attempt and figured I'd call, sensing they have much better diagrams, etc.

 

Should I get off your lawn now?

 

Ya think? OEM 2017 Toyota Tacoma Body and Interior Parts | Sheehy Toyota of Fredericksburg (sheehytoyotafredericksburg.com)

 

well with this resource, talking might just be obsolete. Not like the guy tried to get me to order at the dealership or anything silly!

 

Okay so which screw/bolt is the notorious backer-outer especially on rainy trial days...
aka I still haven't pulled and thread locked either front door!

 

Parts.Toyota.com uses good diagrams

 

All of them?

 

Well yeah, just thought one was pretty common.

Just gotta pull the doors and do it this weekend along with the bumper reinforcement brackets.

Got the 12x20 barn shed piers installed this morning, build day is on the 26th...so ready to move garage & yard stuff, shelving, as well as my hunting bins, blinds and gear out of the bonus (which I need to finish before this time next year).

Got my BiL and his carpenter buddy lined up to work up the lean-to on the back 20' run of the shed, I want it as wide as we can reasonable make work (of course 4x8 osb sheets are still way high). I'll use it to store the skid steer, its attachments and both the 6x10 Utility and 7x14 skid steer trailers.

Now to piece together parts and pieces to build an attachment rack like one I saw the other week

 

I always thought it was called a lean-tube. Has my childhood been a lie?

 

Hate to break it to you, but...

 

Lean tube? Never heard that one before.

 

Just asked my wife and she said “tube? No it’s lean-to”…. Well I’m going to go to bed and call my dad in the morning and tell him he needs to enunciate better.

 

This is the first I’ve heard of OVtune creating long-term wear and tear. Can you elaborate on that please?

 

I cant imagine what damage I've caused my kids lol

 

A tune isn't going to cause long-term wear and tear unless there's a problem with the tune.

 

We were discussing the fear that a tune could potentially cause issues down the road...although I think we both agreed that we are just being paranoid. I mean, at the end of the day we are all just kind of rolling the dice with these tunes to a certain degree, right? It was honestly just two dudes discussing concerns and paranoia; Dave (@plamore) was not saying that there was any evidence that OVtune (or any tunes for that matter) cause long-term wear and tear. In other words, nothing to see here...

Concur, which is where my fear/paranoia is probably founded.

 

Got ultra gaugy today. Thanks for the suggestion @EatSleepTacos . Just put the engine and trans temp on a random page and setup only their alarms for now, but there are some neato features I gotta look into

 

I've been using mine for a few years and love it. The real speed calculation is super useful. Some of the other features too.

The fuel estimation takes a while to dial in BTW. I did it, and now I barely use it... Not worth it IMO

 

hey bill, how have you been doing man?

 

For $99 I can live with it.
