MARYLAND TACOMAS

Geez that sucks about the breakage.

Did you take the Taco all the way to Alaska??

 

I flew. We were about 90 minutes up-river from Talkeetna. Neatest thing was hauling supplies via the sleds into the bush, to help out a homesteader. I'd never ridden a snowmachine until this trip, much-less towed lumber. But it all went smoothly. Then I got sick as hell. Still unsure what it was, but i could barely move; constant pain everywhere. Didn't eat for four days. Then flew home barely-recovered. Before the trip AK was my dream destination for the rest of my life. Now I'm thinking i'm just too old to adapt.

 

Damn now that’s an adventure! Sorry to hear you got sick but glad you still had some cool experiences and made it back safe.

 

Trip #1 out of this state. Condolences to anyone who has to go through the next 8 years of this admin.

 

I've been considering selling my cabin & properties here in WV and buy a cabin in Alaska. This one has 35acres of lake frontage and secluded. Everything here in WV is paid for so I could pay cash. I've just gotta get the wife on board lol.

 

Congrats! Best thing I did was move out of Maryland.

 

That's awesome - I was looking at that very cabin, too!

If you get up that way, I have a few people who'd be happy to support any way they can!

 

I'm looking for work in the middle east (of the USA). TN, KY, WV, Parts of OH, or Huntsville Area. The house prices here haven't lowered at all even with the slow-down and horrendous interest rates.

 

I've been busy working on the property and playing on the mountain. I heard @AR15xAR10 got snitched on so I'm scared to post anything on here anymore.

 

I can’t wait to move as well.

 

Ordered an Anderson Engineering intake manifold spacer kit. Why? Idk, not much wrenching lately so something to play with.

 

Looking at snorkels again… probably still won’t get one but at this price you know it’s something… all the eBay ones like the same number on the inside, maybe just all using the same stock photos

 

I’ve never seen these before. Just read up on them briefly on their site, and it’s very interesting. I’m looking forward to hearing your full write up on it. I may be ordering one here in the future! Did you go with the aluminum?

 

i’ve never shopped for snorkels but that’s about $1,000 cheaper than I would expect haha

 

there is at least one that was close to 1K.
I’ve noticed maybe 4 or 5 different brands,
EBay/arb, safari, air raid, oem, and uptop I think.
I like the way the air raid one looks but don’t plan on spending 400+ on one.
I’d only be doing it for looks, since not much real dust around here.

 

False. I got stuck in a cloud of construction dust today. They are building EVERYWHERE.

 

Dang those can get pricey!

Yeah I do love the way they look on built up trucks. I’m trying to stop myself from spending more money on my truck at the moment lol

 

Now that I have my truck back, with a brand new bed, can anyone recommend a place to get a OEM short bed mat? Thanks all for any input .

 

Try your local dealer. Might be surprised. Mine cut me a bit of a deal on the mat.

 

I hear you on that one. I don’t need to spend anything more either lol… though Father’s Day is next month and my wife is gonna need some ideas for a gift. She’s frowned at the idea about me cutting the fender
