Maine

Pipeline.

 

So you tell them where you laid the pipe...

 

Is the owner of the 3rd gen Magnetic Grey AC with 4-5"(?) lift, raptor tail lights and a bank of 5 air horns on the roof on here? Saw the truck pass me at the light at the Augusta Armory early this afternoon.

 

Also, you need to keep in mind that the NMW isn’t all that challenging as far as terrain goes.

 

My old stomping grounds…

Afternoon people of Maine

 

Good afternoon. Sitting on my tailgate having a beer while the chickens and dog get some quality outside time.

 

Anyone here in Maine tune their Tacoma with OVTune/KDMax?

 

I am looking at the CVC tune end of the month. has an adaptive octane tune, automatically adjusts tune to fuel octane rating.. 300hp. 290Tq.. also ups voltage for my AGM, and corrects speedo for my 33's.

 

I haven't dug too deep into the CVC tune but it looked like the guy comes out and does it. You doing self install or meeting up with him? I'm used to the Cobb Accessport on Subarus and my old Focus ST... simple plug n' play.

 

Seen at the garage on the bypass in Topsham. Right across from the fire station



And then saw this little guy in Hallowell last night. Not even sure what it is. Should have gone back to take a closer look

 

Marty McFly?!

 

Nice Mail Truck

 

Good ol downtown Hallowell, I haven’t been there in probably 20 years, used to hang at the Warf.

 

Been meaning to ask.. Does anyone know of any machine shops that still turn rotors? Preferably in the greater Brunswick - Portland area.

The drivers side on my truck is running out about 7 thou and its starting to piss me off driving like that haha. Still got a ton of life left in it though

 

I had a set of rotors/pads sitting at home, and was feeling some brake fade @ 50k miles.. so did mine a bit early.. think it was just under $200 for the coated rotors, and pads from NAPA. I still had roughly 3.5 mm left on the pads.. but I wanted it done at 50k, so I know I need to do it again at 100k (with the 33's and heavy weight I dont want to take chances...).. I know the shop near me does rotor turning. but a bit far for you.. any decent brake service shop should be able to do it. such as "Brake service" and I know some of the NAPA service centers will do this as well. best bet is to stop into a local shop, and ask if they do, or know someone who has the machine to do it.

on another note, anyone planning a trip up to NMW soon? would like to plan a smaller group for a saturday night entry and through till Monday if people have the time available.

 

So, my Tacoma flunked the state inspection today since my ditch lights are not covered. The dealership stated that any auxiliary lights higher than the headlights, and facing forward, must be covered on public roads. I did not think Maine required this. I researched a little and could not find this rule in the Maine inspection guidelines here:

I could not find any other statute that said anything about covering lights. Anyone here have any information on this? I did order some SS3 covers today from Diode Dynamics. But do I truly need them?
