NJ Taco's

i think i might hop on the list as well...im debating myself the rest of the day...


i still need to buy some damn headlights! haha

(Boyd i might make a trip out to ya and grab a headlight so i can get it inspected...i was up in June ...2 months out now)

 

My inspection sticker was up in June as well. Ill be home this weekend working on the truck. When your planning on coming over send me a PM and Ill shoot you my addy... or I could bring to work in Philly and you could meet me here. I'm in Port Richmond.

Get the money up front

 

any body have a good link for a 2nd gen with 4.10 gear info?

I know my mileage was gonna take a shit...but 14-15mpg HIGHWAY at 65-70 kinda sucks after lifting/33's...the truck is a DOG when it comes to towing anything or even having a decent load in the bed of the truck. I towed my aluminum trailer (300lbs) and my 2 quads (400lbs each) about 2 weeks ago to the poconos and it was struggling going up the hills.

i towed a 2000lb trailer with a jeep cherokee on it when it was stock and honestly the truck felt better doing that then with these smaller loads.

Im thinking re-gearing eventually to get it back to normal/maybe get a mpg or 2 back

 

says the guy who's truck never see's the highway

we will see how those 4.56's do when you finally come to an out of state meet and we are on the highway doing 85+

 

Gonna start calling her the driveway princess... it may not be on jack stands, but your giving Mike a run for the money regarding 'sitting' Toyotas

 

You should get Bob to change your username back to Oswego again...

 

hey dave how have you been....all is well i hope.....

dam my insp is up also.....

exactly....^^^^^^

 

yup thats the diff between youz guyz and me....i have tghis truck as my only...d.d.
no truck no work

 

why? It's under my screen name...

 

finished all mine yesterday before i headed to beach....
got loaded at beach then sobered up and went to drive home late night and bam no headlights......
turns out some d.b. in a rush to get to beach forgot to connect the new pos. wire from battery to new aux fuse box
then bam let there be light again.....
this is why you no rush out to beach people......
but seriously should take about 10 mins to do your battery terminals ends
especialy if u know anything about electric

 

I know...

 

you guys? I only have one vehicle.


The difference is age and bills. When I was young and living at home I had 3 vehicles. 12 second mustang, brand new Explorer, and a rice rocket.

Just think youll be retiring in another 10 years so you can buy some more toys then old man

 

10 years..i got 30 to go
only been doing the union thing for 15 years...rest was all off the books making real cash......

there will be no s.s. when my time comes so i am dumping all my cash into my 401k i think its capped at 12k a year......but in 10 years i will buy my first home and pay it in full "no where near this state tho"
but i will say i have been leading a rock star lifestyle for the last 20 years..kinda oppisite what others do.....
others work their asses off during the younger years and then try n sit back to retire...well i spend everything on trips and such and party like its 1999 and then ill get serious when im older

 

whata you mean???? what wire fell off?????
and i don't know if you have or pay your own ins... but for me a second car would be more then the $450+ i pay a MONTH for insurance....


i dont use all that fancy stuff...
i use sheet rock knife to remove wire casing
bolt cutters to cut said wire and same bolt cutters for a crimp then fire up turbo torch and dab some solder on it.......then i seal it all up with the liquid electric tape then the heat shrink over the top...
i will tell you i really l;ike the liquid tape......think it will do wonders here in the nor east......
i was suprised
all of my electric has now been completed all that is left is to connect all the new lights when ever i put them all in.....and plug in the fuses.....
wooot
best mod i did was the hard wire the gps im loving that one.....
might do my cell phone next

 

Only if I made the money I make now and lived with parents. Instead I have a mortgage, 2 kids and a wife to keep happy. 17 more years to go and I sitting my ass on a beach somewhere collecting a check.

 

I seem to be going the opposite direction. Young and at home got me the hand me down '89 Nissan Maxima. Once I moved out I haven't stopped buying shit.

 

oh you mean you broke the stock wire to the stock fuse panel under hood?
how did you do that...
and just cut the end and crimp / solder a new eyelid on.....
and yes i did all the same...all my which lines are run and soleniod mounted all i need to do is mount the winch and connect the pos wire to battery for said winch wire....when the time comes....
all the wiring and switch install took me a few days....
i will tell you it was alot more $ just for cables/ connectors .hell i think i used about 15 - 3/8" copper connectors....loom..heat shrink, ect....
but like i was telling my fiend last night when we leaving the beach and something didnt work.....im like dont worry i got this ...this is why i do everything myself..because then i know whats going on and have a good idea where to look

 

Anyone have use for a CRT tv. I have 2 or 3 to get rid of. they are hard to throw away so if I have to put effort into it, I'll give them to who wants em.
