Keystone State Thread

I just recently put my second set of pads on the front . @135k
At around 65-70k I upgraded the fronts to PowerStop Rotors and pads . So I’m getting around 60000+ miles on a set of pads . When it’s time for rear brakes I will probably go with these

 

I went with the cheapest shoes I could find because I know they won’t last anyway. Think I paid $28 for everything and $15 to have the drum machine cut.

 

Got 409,000 miles on the 2008 taco… was my FIL’s … kid inherited… Iv serviced since new and still have the original drums and shoes

 

y’all must be luckier than me. I must have gotten the Friday batch of brakes a few times.

 

That is some serious driving, over 30K a year. Where did he go?

 

He drove a lot… he serviced vacuum pumps and special machinery in controlled environments such as air products might use… he was his own boss… did work for a company called varian years ago

 

The storms were pretty crazy. I had hockey and it was pretty sketchy driving home at like 10pm. I wasn't sure if some of the roads were going to be flooded or have trees down etc.

I love hearing stories of people who put a crazy amount of miles on there Tacos. If I still had my long commute, I would've kept my '14 and just ran it. I put 153k on it but when I bought it, I figured I'd put at least 200-250 on it before replacing it. But circumstances changed.

 

Dave was a Ford fan and I converted him into a Toyota. He told me if it don’t go over 235k without engine problems that he would go back to Ford… that’s how long his ranger lasted until he burnt a valve…. He got to 250k and says I may get rid of it at 300k as he went over 300k he says ok 400k we’ll he hit 401k and the truck out lasted him :-/

 

Sorry to hear about him. But that is still a really cool story. Glad that the truck treated him well.

 

We live to die. He was a great man especially with his grandkids… moving forward, my 16 year old drives it and we’e rebuilt the rear suspension, have stuff for the front but need TIME to do it. Rear shocks and leaf springs we did. I have take off front shocks that are needed very soon.

 

Very true. And I'm sure that would make him happy to know that you and the grandkids are still enjoying the truck.

 

Sorry for your loss Scott.

 

Had to leave Porter in the truck for a few minutes while I went into Coach’s to grab lunch, so I taped a warning to the truck for any Karens who might happen to pass by…

 

Currently at @Gwyns04‘s house for a play date between Ozzy and Porter; Current temperature…

 

Just got done mowing with brother joe… holy …. It’s hot. Started off with water, 3 beer and more water! I started at 11:00 he started at 9… the heat beat us up some today. Joes leaving for the beach tomorrow and we needed to get grass cut…. Then next week I gotta juggle work and grass and the wife …. Stuff needs to be mowed like every 4-5 days … at least the school yard… which consists about 3 acres, then ya got the baseball field, football field and finally the back field…. YUP not done though…. Township needs to be cut once school is caught up…. And repeat… oh and don’t forget joes yard.. another 2 acres

 

You should get paid by the mile, that is a lot of seat time.

 

I have zero issues mowing… until it’s 95 degrees constantly!! The. I remember mowing while it’s 40 and windy! It’s a give and take …. Next couple days is going to be nice!! But I ain’t got time to mow when it’s nice!!
