New England B.S. Thread

Looks like a different truck, but getting an alignment and 10k service this morning saw this at my dealer

 

Morning all, how did you survive the heat this weekend? I was on the water Sat, out of Rock harbor fishing and Sun was in the woods down in Kingston.

 

Got on the bike for 2 and a half hours on Saturday. Stayed inside with the a/c on Sunday.

 

I unfortunately was inside the whole weekend still recovering from the stomach bug. Would have loved to been outside near some water or something but didn't have the energy. Yesterday afternoon I felt a lot better and am just about 100% now.

I think Wednesday the wife and I are planning on going kayaking somewhere (need to find a rental place open) so that will be fun.

 

I think I lost 20 lbs yesterday. I was outside working in the afternoon. Can't tell you how much Gatorade and water I went through. I got V2 of my plywood tonneau completed though. Needs some touch up and a couple small tweaks but it's looking good so far.

 

Saturday I did some power washing and used the sprayback to stay cool. Then we went down to the GF's parent's new project on Westport Island and camped Saturday night and hung out on the shore most of yesterday, where it was 'only' 80 degrees.

Yeah, when I was chasing the saw on Saturday I went through 4 of the 32oz bottles of Gatorade cut 4-to-1 with water and didn't pee once.

 

Naked cannonballz..

 

alright guys i'm selling my trail team wheels, they have tires mounted on them and I don't feel like getting them taken off. $500 for those, i'll get some pics

and $200 for my stock trd sport suspension. no rain, no snow, no offroading, 7k miles

I'm 90% sure this is the only wheel with damage. The tires on them are 265/75-16

 

Morning all

 

Aziscohos just removed the bag limits on short salmon. You can easily catch 20 shorts a day and keep them all, only one can be over 16". Just be careful deep trolling that lake, it can eat a lot of hardware. And if you are lucky you can nail a decent squaretail in the process.

 

Did they really? That's good to know; I'm camping up there with the GF the weekend of the 14th and I'm hoping to get at least a couple meals out of the lake

 

Motors come in 3 shaft lengths, 15", 20" and 25". You look to have a 20" long shaft on what would be a short shaft hull. Ideally you'd want the cavitation plate (the thing you are pointing to) no more than 2" below the lowest part of the hull. Being long is better than short. If you had more horsepower you would definitely want to make it right but with some people in that 14'er you probably won't be planing much anyway.

 

Yeah man, I have no problem eating 6 skinny shorts instead of one big boy. The youngin's taste just as good. Do your part and help the overpopulation problem!

 

These guys passed my truck. It was before the cameras though.

Mike's Service Station

IIRC According to the MA Formula for lift height you should be able to lift a DCSB Tacoma about 3.3"

 

God I love this weather! I spent 8 hours outside on Saturday, and a few more on Sunday! I love it!

Also, I finally got around to doing this:

I finally matched the roof lights to the front lights. 14 thousand lumens total! Woo!

 

I've never had issues at the Sunoco on Main St. I just had mine done there on Friday.

 

Made it to OBX safe and sound. Left home right around 2am, and pulled into the rental house at 10:30. Stopped once for gas and bathroom break. Kids woke up when we picked them up to put them in the truck, and wouldn't fall back asleep. Watched movies for a while, and finally crashed for a few hours at around 6 or so. Only hit traffic when we got on 64 for a bit, but had to get right off anyway. Smooth sailing on the GW bridge at about 3:30 am or so, smooth sailing on the Delaware bridge, and smooth sailing on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

 

Thanks and that's basically where I fall now though with me going from 285s to 265s I should've lost an inch

 

So does that mean they measure from the ground for the lift measurement? I thought most of those number are measured from the center of the hub?

 

I thought ma did away with that stupid formula based on wheel base?
