Tacoma Spring refurbishing

Not on here for 2 weeks. Did he send you his # when you ordered?

He's otherwise OK?

 

Yea I sent him a text the other day but still haven't heard back.

 

Did you ever get your taillight worked out?

 

Nope lol it's not too noticeable. I'm going to keep them till I can afford to replace both with the black housing led tails.

 

That makes sense. Thanks for the replies. Will 5100s in the rear accommodate 1-3" of lift? My rear shocks are shot and I'm wondering if I need to go aftermarket/offroad.

 

Recieved & replied...huh Tyler...

I'm back kids that was one long ass hiatus from da innerwebz

the 5100's/5125's for the rear will accomodate just fine..

 

Did some moving this weekend and the springs held up great to the trailer weight and all the furniture inside

 

Good to hear mike....

 

Wow, no kidding. Welcome back!

 

Yeah, heres the deal for those who dont know, my internet is provided by my neighbor, I bounce off his router as his connection is unsecure He knows that already, it's his wife that keeps shutting off the router everytime rhey go on vacation (they're retired & travel quite a bit) So when THEY go, so do I....

 

Ahh. http://www.openwifispots.com/directory_free_wifi_wireless_hotspot_92040.aspx

 

Ha! That's pretty funny, Doug. Economical So he knows it is unsecure or he knows you use it and lets you?

 

That's right and thanks for the response.

 

Haha, no laptop....My PC consist of a vintage Dell Dimension 2350 ,no front or side cases with 2 zip ties holding down the heat sink over an old
P-4 processor via a 12 year old D-Link wireless PCI card

Yeah he knows & is ok with it but his ol' lady thinks I should pay half their cable bill which of course isn't going to happen

 

Ok. So you aren't King of the cheap spring refurb for nothin'.

 

Oh hell no, I reign over many thrones

King of the cheap spring MODS

King of the cheap redneck ghetto PC

King of the cheap intermittint internet wifi

 

Wait... You use their (probably slow connection due to distance) wifi.... And they want you to pay cable? What, are they bundled?

You wear a lot of hats, Doug!

 

I get streaming seamless video sometimes for downloads but yeah they're bundled

& yes, I wear many hats , just none of them fit....

 

Oh, I'd have no problem with that except we'd already struck a deal, I'm on about an acre of land in between some rather high end homes w/private drives/easements on both sides, about 2 years ago they
re-paved & didn't want big heavy dirty asphalt crushing trash trucks going up & down it (they ARE brutal here) So I designated a 12'x12' patch of dirt at the very bottom corner of my property for him & another neighbor to set their trash bins so the trucks wouldn't be driving up the new driveway, in exchange I get free trash service & supposed free wifi so I've met my end of the deal...

 

Bundled? Half of their bundle? That would get the same reaction I gave when my friend told me a gym near his house charged $100/mo. for membership: A chuckle and 2 middle fingers

There is no way you using a portion of wifi should pay for half their bundle-which is probably more than internet costs. I would pay like Ding said, half of the internet portion, NOT TO EXCEED the costs you would pay to have your own internet, because then you may as well get it yourself.

And if you've already agreed to lend them that land in exchange for using their wifi, that neighbor of yours needs to keep it switched on-Lest you go hurl those trashcans off of that 12x12 patch, if she wants to play that game.

/off my soap box.
