    Well today has been interesting. Got given a '78 goldwing, and may have found a 2nd gen Tacoma shortbed to buy to make my regular cab shortbed race truck dream come true.

    I’ll tell ya something.
    Got my new bike battery yesterday.
    How you fill it is ingenious.
    So easy a caveman can do it… LOL..
    The only problem is IMHO there wasn’t enough acid to cover the plates.
    So I whipped up some distilled water and added it.
    So now on the charger/maintainer until I get a chance to install it.

    I did something. I forgot my wallet at home when I left for work. Right on the edge of the table where the puppy could reach it. I darn near shart my shorts when I realized it and decided it was worth it to be late for work if it meant my wallet (and it's contents) didn't become a chew toy.

    This is a perfect thread! I have been slowly accessorizing my tacoma to the way I like it, however, I keep telling people its not a modification because to me, if a vehicle is still on stock springs/leaf and shocks, its stock lol

    Yea that is something you can’t ignore. Then again, if you didn’t have them, it would not have been a issue.. The things we do for love. LOL

    The committee would need to verify this. When the sheriff gets back to Maine, a trip to the bunker
    for evaluation maybe in order for such claims.
