Keystone State Thread

Wow, sorry to hear, you have my sympathy.

 

That sucks. Sorry for your loss.

Happy Birthday!

So... i'm here at the shop... they're hole-sawing my fender for a snorkel....

 

A shop is doing it ???

 

Yeah. #1. I live in a condo complex and HOA says "no working on/maintaining cars". Used to be i could add washer fluid and top of oil. I got written up for it last year. I fought it successfully, but what a pain in the rear. Some stuff I do, i go to a local park and work in the parking lot. But #2 and #3 are considerations for this job.
#2. I don't have the hole saws needed and didn't feel like spending any money on it.
#3. I can still work and not take off time, which is my biggest issue. I can work "Remote" and have them do it. Or i can take time off of work, to do it myself. The nature of my job means I'm "on" 24/7 (wage slave) and, with also running my own business, it's not unusual for me to be working 7 days a week.
#4. I'm loath to cut into bodywork myself. Someone else messes up, i can blame them.

So yeah.. i got a shop to do it.

 

Could've brought it out here. I would've helped install it.

 

Condolences to you and your girlfriend.

 

@Tatts521 Happy Birthday Hope you are having a good day.

 

I appreciate the offer, good sir. If i lived closer i definitely would have taken you up on that offer.

 

Welp, the nail wasn't long enough to penetrate (heh)into my tire, so win there!

Also filled up today after 3 mountain passes on this tank. 24.4. Not bad at all

 

Sorry to hear this

 

U sure u did the math right ! Maybe she's only running on 5 cylinders..

 

Thanks everyone. She was an organ donor and probably already arrived somewhere around Pittsburgh. Thinking Organs will be research only due to being a long term smoker since her teen years. Told my Amanda if her organs make the connection with cigs and lung cancer/ COPD and save one life, her job is done. Or heart disease from smoking. I'm no angel but if we can turn a positive out of this... Yeah many thought going through our minds at this point. Thanks for the support

 

Well it's only running on 4 being a 4 banger turbo

 

OIC , u have a gen 4. Duh. That is good mileage.

 

I haven't posted much about it. I change trucks every 6 months or so it seems so nobody can keep up, even myself...

 

I forgot you got a 4th gens. How are you liking it so far.

 

Liking it so far, with a couple annoyances. The new drivetrain is by far the best part of the 4th gen. Just hit 1,000 miles today.

 

How's the power compared to the 3.5? I do like the looks of the 4th Gen. Any pics of urs?

 

Power delivery is much stronger and down low. There's no comparison to the V6, blows it out of the water IMO. The new 8 speed is also far better than the outgoing 6 speed.

 

That's sweet looking Adam. Leveling kit or stock? Sits nice.
