New England B.S. Thread

You can bring that truck over my house and I'll change all that stuff for $500.

Went to the bass pro shop this morning place was jammed with people. Not much left on the shelves for ammo.

 

Spark plugs also

 

There never is. You almost have to be there when they get shipments in and are putting it on the shelves (which I'm assuming people do since there is never any 9mm or .22lr at the bad pro in Foxboro)

 

I'll get a quote first then, cause I can do all of this stuff at the house except the damn seat chime and alarm beep.

 

Buy ammo out of state?

 

Is the seat belt alarm different now? If not you can do it yourself for free. http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/1961382-post48.html

 

Pretty sure you can do it, but not the alarm horn beep, and if they're doing one they should do the other.

 

The '12+ Tacomas need to use a special tool the stealership has. Some dealers won't disable the seat belt chime for liability reasons.

 

Unless you drive to NH, you can't buy out of state.

 

This is NH baby, we do things differently. And with my dog sitting in the front seat that stupid thing goes off, then she gets uncomfortable with the seat belt connected and hitting her. I won't leave until they disable it.

Ummmm, you guys all live fairly close

 

Yup... CT now practically requires a DNA sample these days. Reloading is becoming a new favorite past time.

 

I know, I guess what I meant was you have to buy in person from a neighboring state that allows out of staters to buy ammo (which now is pretty much only NH) and carry it back to MA with you. You can't have ammo shipped to you in MA because of current CMRs.

 

Yup. And I think it's actually not specifically illegal, but the regs make it difficult and the retailers just don't want to deal with the MA AG since he sent a bunch of nasty letters out to retailers a while ago

 

That's correct, it's not law, it's CMR which is supposedly for consumer protection (for the average civilian, it might as well be a law). It's B.S. and I'm not sure how the AG got away with it but she did. If you can find someone who will ship to MA, it is legal but, as you said, a lot of retailers got legal threats so they all pulled out.

 

Yes but sadly some reloading supplies are also in high demand.

 

^^^ Awesome!

Ok, here's the skinny on 30k: tire rotation, oil change, air filter, cabin filter (if needed). Told them to just check the filters, I'll do them if needed. And they'll turn off the chimes and beeps.

They don't do the diffs until 60k if the truck sees towing or heavy off-road (I'll do them this summer).

 

What about plugs? Those are supposed to be changed at 30k miles on the V6 also.

 

Guess not? Maybe a newer service interval? Dunno. I'm used to changing them every 50k or so depending on electrode wear.

 

Hmm I'll have to check the wife's t4r manual. She just ruled over 30k miles
