New England B.S. Thread

Picked up Mike's stock engine skid this morning. It's like brand new compared to mine. I'll post comparison shots when I swap em out.

 

Saturday will be the diff breather relocation mod but I ordered some other stuff for the upcoming 80k mile maintenance. I bought one of Camelback Toyota's preassembled 15k mile service interval service packs (basically air filter, cabin air filter and an oil filter) and also picked up a set of Denso plugs. That'll probably be in a few weeks.

Actually, when I was looking at they 30k mile service packs, it's a little over $100 but comes with a PCV valve and serpentine belt. Any of you guys replace the PCV valve as part of routene maintenance???

 

I've never replaced the Pcv valve but I changed the serp belt last winter . She was a screamer . A small drill bit works to hold the idler pulley while you change it.

 

Mine's still quiet, I need to make sure it's not cracking since it's 5 years old. I might have to do that this winter.

I've never heard of replacing the PCV valve for standard maintenance and don't even see it listed on any of the dealer's recommended services either (usually they're the first to try to gouge you). I'll hold off on that one for a while or maybe I'll buy that kit through Camelback also and do it along with the serpentine belt.

 

Anyone going to Country Fest at Gillette tomorrow ?

Just got offered a ticket, country really isnt my thing but I am considering it

 

A few of the guys I work with are going. I'm not big into country myself but they said it one hell of a party and lots of chicks . Not sure if your single or not .

 

The chick i just started seeing invited me... but there is no titles there

 

Yeah it sure is one hell of a party. My family went last year and they told me its a huge party lol. Tons of drinking and naked chicks lol. Not my kind of thing though. ( well I mean the drinking tons part but the girls , that's a different story haha)

 

I am going Saturday. Make sure you bring your sunglasses so you dont get caught staring.

 

X2. Not into it at all but heard its a good time with tons and tons of chicks.

 

“Saw them in '83 in Fresno—place was crawling with chicks.”

all i can think about is that stupid commercial haha

 

Red solo cup, I fill you up,
Let's have a party
Let's have a party

Haha. That's the only country song I like

 

It wont hurt. Pull the old out and do a rattle test. If it rattles put it back in and save the new one.

I'll be there. Daisy duke shorted girls FTMFW

 

I'm goin on Saturday with a the girlfriend should be a good time.

 

95% taking the Taco to tailgate... say hello if you see it... 05 blue access cab with Boston stickers all over the back window and a woody decal and W6 sticker

 

I will prob be in my truck as well. Silver 08 AC with all pro bumper and sliders. Still covered in mud and dirt from Maine.

 

Looool. Just ran through my mind too!

 

$10 in power washing , $10 drive through wash . Maine mud is still everywhere .
Idk how Rick keeps his rig so clean .

 

Hey I was thinking of when it's time for new tires, changing them from 305/60-18 to 285/65-18. Ends up being 1/4" taller, but 3/4" thinner. How do you think that will affect gas mileage?

 

I havent even bothered trying to wash it off. Didn't help that I was roosting dirt 30 feet in the air.
