Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

a/c leaks are always fun to debug.

 

Looks like the clamp on that hose going into the compressor. Hopefully just plug and play.


And vacuum and refill with refrigerant.

I just went through this with the car I sold to buy my Tacoma.

Make sure to replace o-rings and coat them with ac oil.

Also I priced out how much to vacuum and refill a system (in a car) and I was quoted $100 which isn't too bad I thought. From a local independent shop.

 

This one is pretty obviously on that hose in the second picture. Dealer has the truck.

 

Let's go GIANTS!!!

 

Gotta love it. You play and they pay.

Considering how you drive and that being the only damage you did good

 

With the discount, you can get resi's for a little bit more...

Also, in case you hadn't already planned on it, I highly recommend putting the shackle flip on before the shock mounts so the lower mounts get clocked right.

I also know someone with beefy- ass rear springs, whose truck is ass- high, that is willing to trade unbent, fully intact stock spring hangers & $100 for an Archive Garage setup that is 6 months old

 

re: refilling, its pretty obvious you lost not just refrigerant, but a/c oil... so the system really should be flushed and recharged with the right amount of fresh oil as well as refrigerant. any pro shop will do it right, my note here is for the driveway mechanics... also, all the more compentent A/C techs I've talked with have suggested replacing the dryer/receiver thing any time the system has been opened as the desiccant in there is really only intended for one use.

 

Got home from work early thinking I'm gonna crack a beer and chill.... NOT!
Look what was delivered today

 

But sir, I just went for a short drive with some friends.

 

Go back outside, get in your truck and have a do-over-coming-home. DON'T go in the garage this time. Crack beer & you're welcome!

 

I think some of you guys here were looking for an aluminum front bumper? Demello has a pelfreybilt for sale in socal.... I would be all over this if I had more mod money right now.

haha always finding ways to justify getting the better parts. I think you're on to something... we'll see though.

I do have my stock hangers... they're still on the truck. and Sorry, I already have the takeoff 4xInnovations shackle flip in the garage waiting to go on. The springs and the flip's came from Jberry. I'm ordering the AAL to freshen up the pack and the Flip will go on in a few weeks.... gotta wait for the wife to take her next business trip

Oh, but you can have my stock hangers when I grind em off. I'll do my best to not trash em up too bad.

 

Always looking for just the right little camper for the Taco. This one look pretty neat. Thing is, would need some mod to make it semi off road capable. But the dam thing is 10 grand to start. Oh well.

 

Well see there stands an entirely different problem. As I'm inserting the key in the front door I'll hear the chaos inside of my 3 kids bouncing off the walls giving each other elbow drops off the couch thus causing me to remove the key get back in my truck and drive away again. Wait..... that's a fantastic idea!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!

 

I was at an RV show in central PA and they had these things. The guy gave me his sales pitch, and thinking he was going to tell me they were selling them for 3grand I was ready to pull the trigger. He then says around 10 grand. My jaw about hit the floor. Can't imagine they are selling too many at that price. Yeah its a cool little concept, and the utility is great... but 10 grando. C'mon.

 

@Tee Arghhhhhh Dee but their house is a motherfucking tent!

 

Check yo Facebook Ted.

 

Say what?!

 

Funny thing is....YOU taught them how to elbow drop!!
