AZ BS Thread 4²0

Living the bachelor life for a few days while the misses and kids are out of town. Effin dragging today, trying to polish a guy up for his CDL test on Monday and all I want to do is go home, pound brews, eat a burger, and take a coma.

Took advantage of no responsibilities and got my UCAs on last night. I should not install truck parts on a weeknight

 

Brutally hot but I got the new bumper painted today! Time for a shower and a beer, perhaps a shower beer…

 

Dropped and repainted my front skid the other night. Came in took cold shower after. Was still sweating after the shower.

 

I need to do an oil change on the tundra and have been putting it off because of this damn heat. Gonna do it at 6am when it’s only 90° in my garage.

 

Related, but on the east coast we had McGeorge Toyota for cheap oem parts and since they were 90 minutes north of me, shipping was fast. What’s the go-to dealer on this coast for oem parts?

 

I usually order from McGeorge lol. Shipping is usually 3-5 days but even with that they’ve been consistently cheaper than anyone out here. Used to be a Tw member at camelback that would give special pricing but he’s long gone I believe

 

Still McGeorge!

 

I remember that dude, I haven’t seen him in a hot minute.

Good to know, thanks guys.

 

Second - I have ordered from McGeorge

 

I’ve probably spent $3k with them over a dozen orders, they’re good people for sure. I’ll just be patient on shipping then.

 

I found that shipping from McGeorge has been a bit high lately. Recently, I had to get a few small gaskets and o-rings and Camelback ended up be cheaper, even with their bullshit $8 pickup charge. I didn’t like having to buy from them but it was the faster and cheaper option for the few small things I needed.

 

This is fine.


Edit: This is finer.

 

Mine hit 120° earlier as well. Makes leaving the house pretty shitty.

 

Desire to move intensifies

 

It was 108 when I was going to work last night at 10 pm!

 

Dry heat

 

I was up at 3a and it was 94.

 

We are in Las Vegas for a baseball tourney. 116* at gametime today. It was a dry heat, tho.

Except my balls...those were drenched In the heat.

 

Kicking around the idea of downsizing from my tundra to a 4Runner. Would go a little older/cheaper and own it outright. If anyone has a line on a 5th gen (2010+) for $30k or less, 120k miles or less, let me know.

And if anyone is in the market for a 2020 tundra, let me know.

 

It's been a few years but I used to live within spitting distance of Conicelli Toyota and they had pretty damn good deals. No idea on shipping/pricing vs McGeorge though.


Actually won $100 parts department gift card from them back in 2018, some email sweepstakes thing for their parts department. Still have the T-shirt they sent with it too.
