Florida B.S. Thread

hi speed buffer,, scratch remover.. then liquid glass... looks like they got the clear coat not the color.. Touch up paint on something what big will look bad..

 

Is that on the door or tailgate?

 

Hmmm, we are having a pumpkin carving contest at work....

 

I saw this one on fb yesterday. Someone shared it.

 

Oh yeah, this was the oil cap on that FJ40.

 

Don't look like key. Probably grocery kart. Don't paint it, use 2000 grit wet sandpaper, then Meguiars scratch remover, then M rubbing compound, then step 2 polisher, then glass wax. It will disappear if you do it right. I had something similar in a minivan (caused by wife) and it went away with the above process. Did not got rid of wife do...

 

For that knd of comparison I suggests to scrape actual miles. Just set trip counter to zero before filling up, drive till empty, fill up again, and divide trip miles driven by gallons refueled. Should be on average 16 mpg on v6, with performance exhaust and cold air intake, and 18 mpg w/o mods. Either you are lead foot or need some maintenance done, sparkplugs, air filter, and fuel filter.

 

Nice that's way better than initially.

 

Is 10 good for you to meet at target? That way the south Florida guys and anyone else that might want to come will have plenty of time to get there? I was thinking I might still meet you at your place before if we do 10. It's up to you. I will text you this week.

 

Works for me. My place is right outside the compound if you wanna come by after too. 10 is fine, just means more target time for me. I put in the new air fuel sensor in by the way. No more light just loud lol

 

I know i said i might try to make it, but i wont be able to.
Im working graveyard shift then to drive 3hours there

Yea cant do it, maybe another time though i want to check
That place out.

 

Good to hear. I mention stopping by your place cause I still plan on being down there around 9 or so. But if you want we could go by there after. I will be staying the night somewhere down there that night anyway so I'm good for whatever. You better not have dinner plans that night either, you said you were showing me some BBQ place if I remember correctly.

 

Oh yea for sure if you're down around 9 deff come by we can test fit the rack and yes dinner at the broken barrel is on!

 

Need to fix some airplanes on Saturday, I'm out. Still curious what the place is like.

PK

 

I could probably use some plugs, but don't have the spare cash at the moment for decent ones.

I'm not that heavy on the throttle on the road. Off-road is a little different. But, I don't think that has to do with the poor mileage. That probably has more to do with the 33x13.50 Super Swampers and the 200 lbs of crap I haul around in the tool box. Also, that tank of gas did have a day of wheeling on it, but was otherwise interstate driving.

I have the SR5 Spartan pkg on my truck so I don't have a trip odo. Go figure on that. It doesn't even read tenths of a mile.

How can you get an accurate fuel economy if you're calculating with a mileage 17 percent less than you've actually traveled? Without calculating for actual miles, it drops from 14.4 mpg down to ~12 mpg.

 

I used to write it down on my old truck (doesn't have an odomete) but then starting using Fuelly to track. But you can't get it to account for bigger tires like on my tan truck.

 

Where are you guys meeting up at?

 

The target at Palm Bay rd and I95 around 10ish, maybe earlier. I will be in Palm Bay around 9 am Saturday morning.
