I think I'll go through my mechanic; I'm already dropping $300 on the new Bilstein shock absorbers...

 

This is how hard it was raining...

 

Right there with you! Just had my frame replaced in August and turned 155k yesterday.

 

I put the glow-in-the-dark spider webs up!

 

i've got 3 or 4 sets, help me clean my shop and take one for your rig son.

 

That'll fit my truck?!?! I thought it was different for 2WD vs 4WD...?

 

2nd gen 5 lug upper arms are different than 2-3rd gen prerunner.

No one reads bios, they just recommend what is bolted on their truck.

(not a shot at 6gear)

 

DAMMIT!

 

Sorta glows in the dark...

 

6 lugs yes are the same between both. Don’t think they made a 5 lug 4wd.

guilty as charged. I don’t even read my own bio. When I see a new thread I’ll usually read the last page of comments and go from there.

 

Yeah, I've got a 5-lug...

 

There's this old Lukoil station in Warwick Township that shit down so long ago that I likely hadn't even joined TW yet; I figured it would make a good backdrop for my Z.O.R.T. truck!

 

In my opinion, it is karma of sweetest variety that this gas station shut down; I'm pretty sure it was about 2013 that it closed, and for starters, the gas was always considerably more than at nearby stations...

In 2011-2012, I remember that I needed gas and was forced to fill up here; Gas was like $3.95 per gallon for regular, as in more expensive than it is right now!

Another time I got gas there, I had to use the bathroom; This place had clearly marked restrooms that were highly visible and easily accessible, and did not require a key from the cashier. I went in this one time after fueling up the truck, and headed straight for the bathroom, at which point the guy behind the counter flipped out at me...

He was with another customer and disrupted that transaction to scream at me; He demanded to know what I was doing, and I gave him a classic "WTF?!?!" look, then told him I was using the bathroom. He started ranting about how I needed to ask permission, and again I was utterly dumbfounded since this was a clearly marked restroom that totally screamed "I'm a public restroom, feel free to do your business!"

I said something along the lines of "It's a public restroom!" and this asshole said it was not; He then made a very uncalled for comment about how I needed to tell him that I was using the bathroom so he knew whether or no I was attempting to come behind the counter and rob him, so he knew whether or not he needed to shoot me. No, I am not joking; That's what he said...

I was shocked, but cared more about relieving myself than having the last word with this prick; I took a leak in the so-called "not public" restroom without incident and got the hell out of there. Also, I would like to point again that I had bought gas; I had put at least forty bucks worth of gas and was not some jerk who showed up to use the bathroom and didn't but anything...

 

Also, I saw some pretty strong evidence later on that my encounter was not an isolated incident...

I looked up this particular Lukoil online and found a lot of negative reviews, one of which specifically mentioned an unprofessional clerk; Some time later, I got gas at this place again and saw a sign taped up in the window of the front door that was allegedly from the owner of the gas station, urging customers to call him and tell him directly if they felt like they were treated unprofessionally by any of his employees...

I got the first aftermarket stereo installed in my truck in April 2013, and started working at Puck in November 2014; I am 99% sure that the gas station closed after I got the stereo, but way before I started working at Puck, to give you a rough timeline...
