Any Members in Arkansas?

Got new wheels mounted up today, as always @Discount Tire has the best customer service.

 

@E.J. thanks for the shout out. We appreciate your business and support. The rig looks fantastic.

 

Nice bumper

 

Looking for someone near Little Rock that can either help a lady, or refer a shop to her, to get a transmission cooler installed in an FJ Cruiser for a small camper that she is buying. She has been calling local shops but they don't want to install an aftermarket Hayden cooler with a fabbed bracket. I don't understand it. Such an easy job for someone. I am in VA and cannot help her.

 

Lot of liability with transmission coolers and if you don't already have the lines plumbed, it's a little more work than just slapping a cooler in front of a radiator.

That's my guess as to why a lot of shops don't want to tackle it.

 

As long as it is installed correctly the cooler has a warranty. It is a simple tie in to the auto transmission lines before and after the radiator. She already bought a bracket to mount to the radiator frame so it isn't just zip tied to the radiator or evaporator. I installed them in the 1970's in auto tech school and then when I worked at a Ford dealer. I have done at least 15 on my own vehicles and have a big one on both of our Tacomas. I told her to take it to a camper trailer service shop where they add hitches and coolers every day. Hopefully they will take care of it for her. If I was in her area I would do the 30-45 minute job but just not close enough. It is not rocket science running an in series cooler.

 

Don't live there, but just got back from a 2,000 mile round trip to southern Arkansas.

Beautiful!

Waterfalls galore, and lot of beautiful crystals right under our feet.

Will be back for sure

 

If it already has an external cooler and she's just wanting one with more volume than it's super easy. If it doesn't already have an external cooler, that's where shops get hesitant because it's more than just bolting something to the radiator.

 

Check with Elite Motorsports. Ask for Bryan. He is in North Little Rock.

 

Try FourC Auto. He's a Toyota master mechanic and he's worked on all my Toyotas, even when I bring him parts. Chris - 501-804-1154

As much as I still want to slide into a full-size one day, that added torque with the hybrid/turbo is a welcome upgrade!

Think I’ll sell my 4Runner…I’m in no hurry so I priced it at a point where I think it’ll sit for a little while.

Anyone have any big plans for the Memorial day weekend? I'm looking for some new places to hit fora couple of days. Anywhere in the state.

 

@Ozark_RegCab one of the most enjoyable Toyota Trucks events in the state is coming up June 1st – 3rd 2023 at Hot Springs Offroad park.

Its a great group for wheeling and camping. I always have a great time at the Ramble.

Too bad I don’t have a Land Cruiser anymore haha. It looks fun tho

 

We’re planning on going to Richland Creek

 

Its for any Toyota 4WD truck.

 

If we wanted to travel for a day of wheeling out there and not stay over night or rafffle/food/etc. (just meet people and run trails for 1 day) do we have to pay 85$/register for that?
