I just got the Fuel pump and 3rd brake light recall done at imperial in Milford. Didn’t know 3rd gens had a frame recall already….

 

I got the notice for my 2016 this year, gonna hold off for as long as I can before I go in

 

Had the fuel pump recall on the FJ back in the Spring.
No issues ...so far.

 

They are replacing the frame on the 2017 already? That doesn’t seem right to me. I better start checking,Une every morning. Or are they just inspecting it?

 

I just bought the undercarriage attachment for my power washer; mine spends most days in the garage and nights at the office so there isn’t much to affect it.

 

I asked some people at my work, they are no longer there. It was Salem NH in the little plaza on the corner of Pelham rd and Styles rd. Had to be the worst breakfast I ever had.

 

Ahh over there - no I think there's a Dunkin Donuts over there (because we needed more). Think that makes like a total of 12 in the town

Never really went over there. It was always just that industrial park area, I can only guess there's gotta be a few good sandwich/lunch spots over there to support that. But with the mall right there too, maybe not.

 

Hello from back in NE!

 

Okay I need some welding peeps to come do a good turn for our Boy Scout Troop 121. The trailer is used often and about 15 years now. Lots of memories worth lots of families. 2 holes underneath that need some fab work. So who wants to come help fix it? It’s parked at our local church I’ll provide pizza and water no alcohol sorry guys.

 

That definitely looks like more than a patch job. I think it's gonna need a whole trailer. Looks pretty rough. Anybody try and hit it in other spots?

 

I did and it’s still solid I can go back tomorrow and check more

 

I’d be afraid not much would be left after using the needle descaler in order to remove the rust just to get a decent weld.

 

Thanks guys

 

Gofund me for a trailer? I'll chip in

 

That would be nice

 

My sons troop got donations from local businesses and put their names on the trailer for their donations.

 

Cool beans!! Wife's family still there but otherwise no more family ties. Still know a few friends up there though. Welcome to the thunderdome.

I had luck with SOS sliders - unpainted/raw in June 2020 but I don't know how things have progressed since. I think it was about 750.[/QUOTE]


Mary Ann's diner is in Salem NH. Not sure if theres another one in MA. Nice - I'll have to check them out. Seems like a decent deal with the lead times being 2-3 months they are giving 20% off. Like $1100 for powder coated or Line-X'd. Just got the truck last night

 

@Unchained 5150 what size is it? Would it be worth it to fit a new Harbor freight or similar frame under the box. I concur that you're going to have to take off so much material to get a new channel in there it's probably not worth it. It'll likely be more hassle than it's worth.

 

I agree, it’s just attached by bolts through the floor boards. So not sure what a new frame would be

 

I got bare metal and rattle canned. I beat the piss out of them, so powder would have been a waste. I need to touch mine back up will probably in the spring. Not sure I'll take them off, probably mask around them on the truck and blast em.
