    Yeah I definitely didn’t know much about the BJ could be an issue and I am just at 168k, literally didn’t even hardly drive (until it all fell apart on a small trip to town) because already had plans to get it on the lift after discovering a small coolant leak a few months ago and make a check list of everything else. thankfully it all worked out regardless because the work I was already going to put into him anyway and will be getting a radiator as well.

    y’all are awesome! Have a great Friday everyone :thumbsup:

    Using a small coolant leak as an excuse to get a lift is 10/10 TW mindset :rofl:

    I need recommedation for re-gearing in ATX. I am pulling the trigger on a 5.29 upgrade package.
    Any recent experience with local installers with Tacoma experience?

    I specialize in Toyota off road. I've done a ton of regears, doing one today, next weekend, and almost every weekend in to September.

    I stopped by there yesterday to grab a couple oil filters & some spark plugs. Place was packed with people, I had to find a spot to park on the side street. Looks like they had 3 new Tundra's on the lot and one guy was hugging one like it was his and stay back :rofl:

    And I noticed a small used dealership across the street on Manchaca Rd named "Yota Ranch" all they had were used Toyota & Lexus trucks & SUVs. Seemed like a cool concept I hope they survive!

    Valentina's is one of the few things I miss about living in South Austin. The Real Deal Holyfield breakfast "taco" was my favorite but everything I had there was excellent.

    When Aaron Franklin wants to go get brisket, he goes to Valentina’s. No lie. Texas Monthly put it in their top 10 at one point.

    Pre-COVID, the line would get nuts, like 100 deep. And worth every minute of the wait.

    Their green sauce could bring world peace.

    I will miss them when they move to Buda! But will likely just make that drive every once in a while! So worth it!

    You gotta try it to believe it! Quite possibly the best brisket I've had in TX. They definitely compete with Franklin's & Snow's
