Alabama thread!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am fully prepared for the debt the forums can put you in. I had A LOT of money in my RSX Type-S and was an active member on ClubRSX.com. My first order of business is wheels and nurf bars/sliders (undecided). I want to have the ability to ride trails, but nothing extreme. I still need it for practical use.

Lifeisaflaw, yes it is.

Bamatoy, Thanks, I will definitely keep you in mind if I need work I can't do myself.

 

Go with sliders. They will protect you if you get in a tight situation.

 

just changing shocks. i already upgraded coils to ome 881s. express oil change quoted me 150 to do it but im not 100% sure i trust a place that majorly just does oil changes id rather have a real mechanic do it. i got quoted by another place for 175. are those prices about average?

and for the record i really wish your shop was closer. would be nice to have a personal mechanic haha

 

Hey Bill, call me on my cell please! Number down there

 

If I were any closer my overhead would be too high for me to keep my prices like they are. sorry. lol
As for the change over, What I am trying to figure out is exactly what you want done. I am assumming you want me to remove the coilovers, then remove your existing springs and install them into the new shocks, and reinstall the setup. Correct?

It's after 9, so I try not to call after that time. I will call you tomorrow after I get to the shop.

 

ok. sounds good to me!

 

Well I sold my ss, so all my focus is gonna be on my tacoma more, I was gonna buy a work truck but said F it. I payed good money for my truck and im gonna abuse it...wait does that make any sence lol.

 

It makes perfectly good sense....to another guy.... Try explaining that to most women...lol

 

I haven't had the truck two weeks, and have already had that conversation. "You're not planning on doing that to your truck........? You'll tear it up." I thought they made things to break, so that we can have fun fixing them.

 

They do! My truck is a prime example! Go check it out in my link.

 

They make things to break so I can have a job!!!!

 

Well, with the quality of some things today, it certainly looks like you'll have a job for a very long time.

 

Guys, check out my business thread for discounts the rest of this month.

 

I have access to a wall mounted spring compressor. It costs like 5 bucks to use. It is out on Redstone at the MWR auto facility. It took 20 minutes to change out 2 shocks for Justin. It takes longer to drive out there and back then to do the swap. You can also rent a bay out there and do the work there. Let me know if you want to consider it.

 

ouch...stab me in tha back why dont you!....lmao

 

Those coils can be a bitch. The guy who bought my truck broke his compressor trying to get them off.

 

I know, I was being a smart azz. hence the "lmao" at the end! lol.

 

Well, I could have posted I would do it for $125.

 

Yes, you could have. I was making a little bit of a joke here, but in all honesty, I saw no need in it. Since it has been comment on twice, I will then speak my piece, and be done with it.

He and I were discussing him coming to my shop. As in my place of business. Where I would make sure that the job was done according to manufacturers specifications, which also comes with a warranty. I would not come in on a discussion between you and someone else if it were related to you making a living, and tell them "hey, I'll show you where you can get it done for almost free" and thereby taking food out of your household. Just my $.02.

 

can't we all just get along guys lol

On a side note, FINALLY bought some tires. i decided to go with 255/85-16's km2's since I'm still on stock rims. I didn't want the poke or width of 285's plus 255's were alot cheaper and lighter, anyways on with the pics.





Can't wait to see how these pizza cutters ride offroad!
