Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

The struggle is real. Damn kid woke up and asks for water. Keep in mind I tossed the tooth in the trash earlier not knowing my wife put it in the lunch bag sh brought to the beach. I tell you, pieces of bread and a tooth looks a lot a like.

This will either be glorious, or a glorious disaster.

 

I wish I didn't work today, I'd be knocking on your door right about now.

 

I figured you would be passed out on my sidewalk couch right about now.

 

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me!

 

I'm free all day.....

 

We will be eating around 6ish. PM me if you'd like to join.

 

Looks bomb jay!

 

We'll see if it tastes bomb.

Minivan had overheating issues this past week and didn't get it into the shop until yesterday. Turned out to be a heater hose under the manifold. So the wife drove the Tacoma all week. Got in last night to find the clutch slipping. In all gears. Feels like driving on ice - too heavy on the throttle and RPM's go up. It's only slipped once, 2 years ago, starting from a stop sign on Marin St. In Berkeley. It's the steepest street in the SF Bay Area at 25%+ near the top.

74K miles. So, she slips the clutch way more than I'm comfortable with, but that bad in one week?

Ordering a new clutch kit today. Any thoughts on the Aisin vs. the URD stage 2 (aside from the $350 difference)? Read that the stage 3 is less forgiving, and my wife needs to drive the truck occasionally.

Also, any recommendations on a decent shop? C&C Auto in Benicia has been good to me in the past, but I'm open to recommendations. Preferably northeast Bay Area for logistical reasons.

 

Ha! That's awesome.

 

It really depends on where you drive. On flat ground, a more aggressive clutch will just jerk a little more, on the trail it'll be more durable in situations of higher rpm launches. But I would probably just stick w/ the stock clutch and put the extra money on a crawl box.

 

Sadly, the adhesive failed on mine within a week. Pretty sure it was the Russians...
