Thanks to everyone for your input, espescially on the food. We've been eating real good

That's crazy

 

where'd you guys eat so far?

wait, I thought you didn't have 4x4? did you guys just park at the top of makalawena, or did you go to mahaiula's?

 

We took the road down to mahaiula with the rental car. Pretty shotty road for a Nissan Versa. Actually never ended up at makalawena. My wife saw a seal at mahaiula and we never continued on as planned after that...

We've mostly eaten at the places down in the kona tourist trap. But we did make it to punalu'u bake ship. Had an awesome turkey sandwich and some doughnuts. The bread was bomb. Did umekes and I think I'm gonna try to talk the wife into hayashi tonight.

It's our last night in th island so she may want somewhere nice though.

 

nice, hope you enjoyed Big Island

Cheers brah!

 

Naw not worth the sand blasting and heat stroke walk. Theres people who give rides for like $10 each way.


double check on hayashis hours. dont think theyre open too late. i like eating teshimas and managos too.

 

anyone know anyone parting out a 05up tacoma?

 

Planning to visit Hawaii primarily Oahu. Any input of places to check-out like food/restaurants besides the tourist spots is appreciated.

 

post this up in the Oahu Members thread... you'll probably get better input there

Thanks! Man

 

Just got back from my trip. Huge thanks to all of you guys who offered up your insight into the island. My wife and I had a blast!

Next time one of you guys finds yourself in Lubbock (like anyone would ever willingly visit Lubbock haha) hit me up and drinks are on me!

 

friends truck got stolen last night in hilo keep a look out for it.

 

Anyone regear their truck? Want to regear, but would like to know who everyone uses.

 

Regear if you have bigger tires. I got nitro 4.56 gears on 285/75/16 tires

 

I running the same 285/75r16 mtr's.

 

Should regear to 4.56 should get some low end power back.

 

Any recommendations? I was looking at ECGS but wondering if there is anyone local and if anyone has use them.

 

Yeah east coast gear supply. If you can change it out yourself get the third member assembly.

 

if you need someone to install the gears, can ask the guy I used to work for up at tats. Hes planning nitro 4.56s on his '17 to get back torque, plus he was told would get better gas mileage.
Planning to do mine too, maybe 4.88…..gonna have either him or Uncle Mike M(powerhouseautomotive) set em in.
