Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

I was considering that too but havent found much of anything.. my google skills must be failing lately

 

@McSpazatron had it at one point and I do remember him handing it back to me. Last time I used it was when I helped @rubbersidedown install his. Then I passed it on to whom I forget.

I believe @McSpazatron has a puller I can bum off him. I appreciate it though!

 

A lift is going to be a priority for a future shop...going all out, for sure.

Also, this month's pinup model had a certain phrase come to mind... @Supr4Lo

 

I have mixed feelings on them. I haven't been back there since shortly after my warranty expired. Generally, the service was good except for one problem... shortly before my warranty expired, I had an issue where it felt like it was starving for fuel when I accelerated hard. Service writer insisted it was chewed wires and told me it was going to cost upwards of $1500 to fix. I told him to explain how 90% of the time it would run fine if wires were chewed. He couldn't. Still insisted. I finally said: show me the chewed wires. Turned out it was the fuel pump (recall item). It was delivering 8 psi.

Wound up costing me nothing but aggravation.

There is always LeMieux in GB...

 

I think we need a poll.

Should this picture be in all future calendars?

I haven’t had any dealings with Kolosso and I know people have mixed feelings about the Bergstrom name but I haven’t had any bad experience with Bergstrom Toyota in Oshkosh.

 

I had an interesting discussion with a person at the local Toyota dealership today (I was buying, yet again, more clips to hold on my wheel moldings... I do LOVE 35's!) He is an acquaintance and I guess follows some of my posts on Facebook- I sometime post what I am up to and often it involves my truck. He said it was kinda sad how "beat up" my truck was getting. This struck a chord with me...

I had a 55 Chev that I showed on the ISCA circuit in the sportsman class. It was drudgery to keep it beautiful. I have had others that I kept pristine and it is always a chore. I love this truck and the freedom it represents. He is dead wrong about the beat-up aspect-I am all over the maintenance like a bad smell-and I don't mind doing it. Also don't mind fixing shit I break because I was most likely having fun when it occurred! My truck gets used. Its starting to show some of my mistakes, but that is a patina full of stories. Kind of the "don't judge a book by its cover" thing for me. A show quality truck doesn't get enjoyed in the same way as mine... I know. I had one. Anyway, just needed to vent (publicly...) I truly dislike Tuesday...

 

Looks like yours is missing something...

I must have gotten the special edition.

 

I am with you on this! Now, I am trying to avoid sheet metal damage. But, so scratches and a busted plastic valance are fine with me.

Actually, my street car buddies are similar. Their pride and joy muscle machines are littered with stone chips, and they don't mind. Those guys just went on a big road trip around the southwestern part of the state, which I have joined them on in the past. It's very similar to what we do, in a lot of ways.

 

Your truck is looking “seasoned “, not beat up! Some peoples kids these day. Sigh.

 

I managed that much lol

 

Finally found them

Esp since Armorall can have a tendency to warp and crack older plastic if left out in the sun.

 

I always forget about Bergstrom. Never dealt with them. The only times I've ever been in a Bergstrom dealership, is to deliver. I've known people who've had really bad experience, I've never given them the chance.

Kolosso has always been good to deal with on the financial end. In fact, when I bought my current truck, I walked in and told the salesman: we can have this done in under a half hour. Give me your best OTD price, if I feel like I'm getting dicked around, I walk out the door. We had a handshake in under 15 minutes, the rest took a little longer. I doubt that would happen these days.

 

The last trip to Tigerton gave my truck some real good scratches. The being black the scratches really show. I guess I have my work cut out for me when this weekend is over.
One thing though,, I'm glad the scratches got there the way thy did and not in the work parking lot.
But it is looking bad.

 

Add me please!
