Florida B.S. Thread

Nope. I'm on the opposite side of the gulf.

 

Anyway, all I catch is Flounder.

 

go to floridasportsman.com and ask around nmc

they have a northeast section

I know that you do have to go up river a bit to find the stripers tho. atleast to the city bridges

 

Got the donahoe coilovers off the guy on TTORA for $225 shipped

And DSM quoted me $125 per shock to do a rebuild

 

$350 for a set of coilovers is one hell of a deal!

 

Well... $475 b/c the rebuild is $125 a shock...but still

 

Thanks guys for all the nice stuff said about Bart. He is a Belgian Malinois. I will stay in the unit and get another dog. I enjoy K9 way too much to every leave. Love watching the dog catch a bad guy...Never gets old. Anyway, on the lighter side, my leaf pack from all pro should be here tuesday!!! It's been about a month in waiting so I am real excited. I don't know what the problem has been lately but get anything shipped has been like pulling teeth? For me anyway...guess I just have bad luck..lol

 

I just bought my ticket for redneck yacht club next weekend. Anybody else going? It's serving as my buddies bachelor party. I'm taking the taco but plan on beating my Honda out there all weekend.

 

where the heck is it??

 

Check this out. I noticed this today on Mullinax Ford's website. I'm curious to see the pics once they go up. Check out that mileage. Sounds like a sweet truck.

2002 Toyota Tacoma XtraCab V6 4WD
Mileage: 61,622
Exterior Color: SILVER
Price: $12,501

 

Sitting at Sun Toyota trying to get the leak cured on my timing chain covered. Showed them tsb for it so hopefully they will fix??? Wish me luck!!!!!

 

you're in warranty, so it shouldn't be an issue. if they refuse to do it, call toyota corporate and get a case number. they will then speak directly to the dealer and usually things work out after that.

jonathan, that's still a killer deal on teh COs! you'll essentially have brand new shocks after the rebuild, at the price of what one coilover costs new.

 

As long as you have less than 60,000 miles you wont have a problem. Thats easy stuff, but should take damn near all day to do the repair. Pays almost 7 hours warranty time.

 

oh, right. forgot about the mileage component of the warranty.

 

Just waive your gun around, thatll take care of things

 

yeah man...cant wait to get them..

here is the link to the TTORA sale page: he wanted $275, but I got him down to $225.

They are a bit dirty and rusty but nothing I cant clean up

I just cant wait to get rid of these spacers and body lift!!!

 

good luck. I noticed a drip of some kind of clear fluid under my dash on passenger side..anyone have any ideas? Like to know if it is nothing or something to be concerned about before i bring it in

 

Probably just water condensation from the a/c system. But i can check it for you next time we meet up.

Now on another note, would you PLEASE post in that WTB thread i sent you about your pro comp, those guys are probably thinking it's kinda fishy some guy is talking about "knowing a guy" and the other guy hasnt chimed in yet to let them know i'm not full of crap, you have 2 def buyers in there by the way. Here's the link.

k9, Im working thurs 1745-0100 (or some shit like that) on an Orlando 911 truck, you working?

 

those aren't too bad on the rust. you can bring the bolts to the hardware store and get a new set with some lock washers. the rust on the misalignment spacers should be easy to clean up too. the new ones are aluminum, but unless those are just rusted from rust dripping off of other parts, the steel should be easy to clean. there is actually a small uniball joint in there. the rust you are seeing is on the spacers themselves. you can pull them right out, wire wheel them, and paint them. then they should slide right back into the uniball. jsut don't paint the uniball itsself.

you can also touch up the springs with some rubberized spraypaint from the autoparts store.

something else to considder, is that they are stock travel shocks. if you have aftermarket UCAs, for a couple extra bucks, DSM can rebuild them with the extended travel shafts when you send them in. not sure what cost is on that, but i wouldn't think it's too much since i believe all you're replacing is the shaft itsself.
