Colorado B.S. Thread

Only if it's released... AFAIK they canceled the entire thing... wonder if they'll release it on DVD, BluRay, Netflix, Amazon Prime...

 

Then they get mad and slash up the seat and beat on the dash damaging it. That too is my fault for providing the temptation.

 

Media states publicly that it will not be released on any medium in the near future. But I can guarantee Seth Rogen will figure out a way to release it next year and make some money.

 

Yeah can't believe they're going to just eat the several million it cost to make

 

im back from costa rica!! what did i miss

My ride for 4 days, a Suzuki Jimny 4x4. Saw plenty of Toyota Helix's, Toyota Land Cruiser's which are named something like the Prado, and a couple of pretty built out rigs but never got any photos of them.

EDIT: oh yeah tundras in costa rica are called tundra's ha ha ha but they looked a bit different, im not a fan of the helix at all.

 

You had one job

 

HA HA HA, it was while i was driving. very similar to here, lots of ARB bumpers, some snorkles and some had tire carriers on the rears.

 

LOL

 

hahaha holy shit Sean that was bad ass!!!!

 

Unfortunately for all of us this has been going on since Taft was in the oval office. It's just been one downward spiral since before WWI. The slope has been steeper during the FDR monarchy & now BHO's oligarchy. I had pretty much known it was going to get this bad, I just didn't guess it was going to happen in my lifetime.

We're somewhere in step 5-6 in Alexander Tyler's steps of democratic evolution following the 2012 adoption of Tyler's 2nd fact: 'A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury'.

I was going to copy/paste the primary article from this site but found the rest of the comments are as interesting.

Yep, that's my thought on where we are too. A couple of decades ago I used to think it wouldn't happen in our lifetime. Generations down the road was my thought but it was happening alright. It's amazing to me how the arc has accelerated in my lifetime. It's visible and now the government doesn't even bother trying to hide things anymore to get them by us... they do it in plain sight and as long as American Idol is coming back on nobody seems to care.

 

See there's your problem... you should be watching The Voice.

 

Yeah, maybe that is the problem. Maybe if I watched either one I'd forget about how this country that was earned in good men's blood is being used to wipe lazy people's ass with and then flushed down the toilet for personal gain.

 

my want of a remote starter has taken us on quite the journey. So other than best buy(which I will never have them work on any vehicle I own) and the other place that was recommended. Would it be easy enough to install myself?

 

I'd just install it yourself. Not all that complicated. Of course I'd rather do almost anything myself than pay someone to do it. But for just a remote start, pull the lower dash panel, find the main harness, splice in a few wires, and you're done. Should be as simple as matching colors, or reading a wiring diagram.

 

Cartoys. If Best Buy is anything like the ones around here I wouldn't trust their install dept with anything like that.

Meh, I do all the work on my own vehicles to include most 12v work but for a remote start/alarm system that's money well spent to have it done by the professionals. A botched install job here could leave you stranded or start a fire. I also hate, hate, HATE working under dashes. The amount of strain I save in my back/neck/arms/shoulders is will worth the price for labor paid to have it installed. That's my take anyway.

 

An alarm has more of a chance of starting a fire than any other wiring? I've got well over 100' of wiring added to my car, and I'm not the least bit concerned. Charlie has loose wires dangling around his bed. I don't see how a professional can make a crimp connector any more safe then I can? Hell, I could solder it in if I wanted, doubt car toys would do that. Plus, installing it yourself you know exactly what's going on with it. To me that's less of a chance of getting stranded when you don't even know how it was installed. I ripped the aftermarket alarm out of my truck after I got it, there's really not much too them.

I will agree with you about under dash work though.

 

I sense that attempting to make you smile just a bit was not the right move in regards to this subject.

^^ completely agree with this. Especially when involving the primary wiring system on a 2nd gen. They are relatively complex and splicing the incorrect wire could be an issue.

And NO Brett I doubt that an aftermarket remote start system will have the same colored wires as a Toyota harness. Maybe in 1st gen where you have a red power wire, a black ground, and a screw driver to start er up!

 

An alarm/remote start isn't more likely to start a fire than other 12v power wiring but it is more likely to leave you stranded somewhere if you do it wrong. They do a professional job and as such can offer a lifetime warranty free of charge because of the level of work that they do. It's not just crimping a connector that they get paid for. You obviously would rather do it yourself but I'm giving you the other side of that discussion and I'm not just someone who's lazy or doesn't know what I'm doing. There are PLENTY of reasons to have someone else do it even if you personally don't find value in them.

Anecdotal relate story: I have a DEI (Python, Viper, Clifford, one of those labels) alarm/remote start installed in my Tacoma and have had it for years. All the bells and whistles and installed by Cartoys. Recently my phone quit working for being able to remote start, lock/unlock and check status. I had to call DEI and they starting giving me all the process I would have to go through to get it replaced under warranty. Instead I drove down to CarToys w/o an appointment and within 10min was driving off with a brand new brain installed and good as new. It's rare that DEI units fail but it does happen and I was SO glad that I didn't have to mess with it when it did.

Another story, shortly after installing it the remote that came with it quit. I thought it was an old battery they shipped it with but changing the battery did nothing. I went into CarToys and they swapped out for a new one out of a box of another one, programmed it and sent me on my way. Didn't cost me a penny. They just warrantied the broken one and were made whole directly through DEI but it didn't affect me a bit other than it not working for a brief period.

Some people see value in customer service like that. The older I get, the more I do.

 

No, I knew you were just playing man. It's obvious a topic that I'm passionate about so my returned sarcasm was steeped in a fair amount of seriousness.

Yep. The newer and more fandagled vehicles get the more shit can go wrong with a small wiring mistake especially when you start splicing into factory harnesses. You get stranded somewhere in the middle of nowhere some cold winter night or screw something up in your truck/ECU and suddenly that couple hundred bucks you saved won't seem like much of a savings. Installing a navi unit or some amps and what not sure because the worst you can do is burn your truck to the ground (lol). With an alarm/remote start the worst you can do is leave yourself stranded, fry your ECU or burn your truck to the ground.
