New England B.S. Thread

Do you use Toyota specific ATF or something more generic?

 

might want a second set of eyes to check out my steering rack and whatnot next mod day with me then.

 

Honestly after the nightmare I had and after reading about others trying to replace their rack with OEM, if your boots are wet daily I would start looking into the new rack now. It could literally be months before you get one.

I've only heard of one guy looking for one that got it in less than a month. He works as a tech and took someone that had ordered ahead of his. (One of the v8 swap threads)

 

You and me both.

We should bulk buy these or something, lol, get a good stock on em.

 

You'd want to check the power steering reservoir cap or owners manual, but I think they call for Dextron

 

I just use Valvoline Maxlife ATF

 

This is shaping up to be a pretty big storm. Looking like I'll see around 2 ft:

 

Wtf......sigh.....go home New England....you're drunk

 

The biggest storm I can remember was in March. I got 32" from this one.

I am not saying that we don't or shouldn't get snow in March, I am saying it because this year has been such a tease and it was looking more and more like spring......i want to get out fishing on the water damn it!!! The biggest one that I can think of in the past 15 years was in February of 2011 when we got 2 back to back storms in a period of 3 days on a Monday and Wednesday. We got 31 inches on Monday, then another 22 on Wednesday.

 

Sorry Jer, I've been enjoying skiing too much this year to feel the same lol.

Although shoveling kind of sucks..

 

March is my least favorite month of the year. Too many windy, wet and cold days.

 

I remember the 2014-15 shitshow. Only good part is I had upgraded to a new snowblower, I'd have been dead without it. Having to climb the ladder and shovel the roof every storm sucked incredible eggs

 

Shoveling is the only part of snow that sucks!

 

Oh man. I was up in Maine for that but my wife was in Boston. We had plenty of space to put snow but they didn't down there. It was to the point where you couldn't look each way before crossing some roads. I think school was closed for a couple of days after the storm because they had 2-3 story snow piles in some roads.

We were business as usual in Maine because we, shockingly, had a lot of land area to move the snow to off campus

My cleaning area is about the same as yours. I don't mind it because it's so infrequent also it's basically all my physical activity for the winter. last year with the blizzard was the worst, only time I thought "I need a snow blower", and it still only took an hour.

 

I have invested a good amount to avoid shoveling. Though I hope it isn't as heavy as they are saying. This cuts right through light or medium stuff. It throws heavy stuff fine, but has a tendency to ride up on top of it which gets annoying. I have to either take it super slow or make multiple passes.

 

I want more snow!!!

 

Is this anyone here’s truck at Wachusett today?

 

If the weather guessers are right, I might have to start up Monica the Snow Blower and clear the driveway for the first time this year.

 

Saw this today!
