NJ Taco's

She always wanted a BMW.we owe way more than her truck is worth.my truck sucked on gas($30 every other day).she finally passed the bar exam.SHE PUTS UP WITH ME so she deserved it. We only owe 3 years on her truck and 5 on mine.ill pay off the gaymobile and buy a nice sports car as a third car/toy

 

its funny, gena wants a 4 runner, i am trying to get her in 3 series converitble instead. that way there is a truck, a motorcycle, and sports car/convert in the family

 

I would give you a friendly advise. -- STAY away from any BMW new generation. I had a 535 with all the bells. I paid a little bit over 65 k's in 08- brand new. After one year and more time spent at the dealer then in my garage,,,, I was soo happy to get 40 K's for and promised my self -never again. Unless I strike rich and can afford to own five cars. The list starts with fuel pump twice replaced, fuel injectors, transmission hick ups and few more red lights in the dash board. I can't even imagine what the repair would be if i was out of warranty. This was a car that I used it just in week ends and highway only. Too many computers and gadgets. The dealer give me the usual crap - oh this is very rare. Rare or not ??? when you sign a 65 K's check you expect that car to last you at list five years with out been afraid to take it out. Do your self and bank account a favor and let her have the 4 Runner or introduce her to Lexus , Infinity or Acura convertibles.
Or do some research about BMW reliability on theirs forums and you will change your mind pretty quick. Unless,,,,,, you have a lots of $$$ ,,, then more power to you.
Glad to see you are OK after the accident.

 

apparently there are 2 4wd actuators.. the one behind the transfer case (which they replaced last time) and there is another one in the front diff, which they are replacing this time.

hopefully they get it right. i've already started researching how to get rid of the power 4wd. to convert to manual 4wd i'd need to get an fj transfercase, and i'd do a marlin crawler box too.. but thats getting a bit crazy. only build i've seen it done on is wyatt on rocksolidtoys. his truck "the beast" is insane. im sure you all have seen it before, even if you didnt know who's it was.

I paid $214 (including tax) for all of my windows in my double cab (except the front windshield) 35% is perfect for me up front, and 35% on top of factory tint is perfect for me in the back.

 

yea youre right.. forgot about kevin's. i just read wyatt's build last week so i'm still thinking about his.

I really hope I never SAS my truck.. thats soooo much money..

 

I'm anti BMW/Benz/Audi. I would never own one without a warranty.we just leased this one.it came with free maintenance for 4 years that covers everything. It's only a 27 month lease so fuck it.

 

I can get you an FJ transfer case for $450...

 

o yea?

 

Yes...
My father in law runs a trans shop. I happen to know he's got a few in stock too...

 

good to know.. hopefully I wont need one, but its good to know I could get one.
thanks craig

 

ill take an 8" third member please

 

x2. Mine seemed like a good fit but I ended up siliconing all around where the headlight fits into the housing just to be safe. It was right after that deep water in Wharton so I figured it couldn't hurt. No fog whatsoever.

 

Weekend was great. Got a lot of stuff done around the house. Only thing to the truck was it got a good cleaning inside and out.

 

I actually went to take them off this weekend and broke the driver's side in half trying to get it out. Not sure if they can be glued back together and put in or not. If you want to give them a try, you're more than welcome to them. Otherwise I'll toss them.

 

orange and red pepper puree grilled tuna steaks and asian green beans.... anyone hungry????

 

I am now!

 

I got my rear three windows done at Tropic Tint in Union. Can't remember what I paid but they were the cheapest around and came recommended by another member on here. Got the 5%. Looks great. Would never go that much for the other windows though.

Don't think I could make it to Stokes this weekend. Saturday I'm supposed to have some friends over but I'm also supposed to be down in Wall for some volleyball. Sunday I told Jen we'd go to a street fair in our town.

Anybody like Jose Tejas (Mexican in Woodbridge)? Haven't been there in a while. Some of the best mexican and margaritas out there.

 

wtf are you guys talking about..i looked under the hood today for the first time since the muddy exstravaganza in stokes last time....its freakin filthy under there. anyone ever clean under the hood, what should i do, use, look for, protect, etc?

 

jose tejas decent place

 

I'm actually going to see my friend with the Wrangler this weekend. He claims he found this stuff that works great. Gonna see the results. Will have to check what the name of it is though, it's slipping my mind at the moment.
