GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

I’m an LSU fan and was wondering about this as well. Have you had any luck with this? I tried searching around but couldn’t really find anything. I think it would look awesome with anyone of our logos on the front grill.

 

Did I mention that the Expedition we got has factory skids and locking rear diff? Only thing missing is crawl control .

Oh, and the digital readout is pretty sweet. I can see trans temp, power distribution to all 4 tires individually, individual tire pressure, inclinometer (sp?), etc.

I can put on 35s and only need to lift like 2 inches or something like that. Our neighbor's sister has the identical Expedition on 35s and bought it from the dealership like that. Every time the sister is over, I tell my wife that is her future. I always get some response like "I don't think so, buddy" or "do and your dead," but it is totally worth it as it looks BA.

I don't mean to sound like a Ford salesman. I really do hope that Toyota introduces the twin turbo v6 LS motor that is rumored to go into the Tundra. That would be pretty sweet and they would steal back some of their customers. Other mfgs are catching up in the reliability department, so Toyota can only hang their hat on that for so long.

 

I will let you know how the new tundra is

 

Just read Toyota dropped quicksand from the lineup in 2021. Obviously I’m biased, but I love that color.

 

Yours just went up in value then!

 

Ha I wish

 

Ok, GA folks. I need a recommendation.

We got married 10.5 years ago. We were essentially broke college kids and her folks didn't help pay for the wedding. As such, we had 2 different family members bring their camcorders and record the ceremony. I believe one is on an SD card type storage and the other is on one of those old school tape-but-needs-an-adapter cassette cartridges. I'd like to get the memory cards and cassettes to someone who has the equipment to digitize the one and put the two together to give to my wife as an anniversary present next February.

Anybody know anyone who can do something like that?

 

I see commercials for Legacybox all the time. I think that's what they do.

 

Never heard of them, but that looks like exactly what I want. I suppose I could always get some cheap video editor if they don't put it in order. Getting everything digitized would be a perfect start though.

 

I can help you with this, busy until this weekend but I’ll hit you up soon and we can figure out details. Congrats on the anniversary!

 

Got lots of connections for this. I would do it myself but I become enraged when I sit down in front of a computer now. So just let me know
If Mike can get this going for you, I will make you one cheezy opening graphic?!

 

That would be ballin' actually. Cheesier the better.

 

The issue comes with the little things. Unfortunately Ford does not source it electronics from Japan. And you can’t compare the Chinese with the Japan when it comes to quality. One is built to last while the other is clearly built to be replaced.
Like window motors, HVAC, power steering and unfortunately water pumps. I have friends with these, and the issues run the gambit. The motor and trans are solid in the fords. The price point comes from all the other little parts.

 

Yea I can help you get it transcoded and together in a modern format but I’m an engineer (term used loosely) as in I cant make shit look pretty or edit very well. As far as the edit it depends on complexity there are a ton of people in the industry hurting for work right now so you could probably get a good deal. I can rough cut and drop /add a song track or something but if you want like a real edit of the two cameras and cuts back and forth one of us can hook you up with someone. Cheesy graphics are the shit!

 

Have to bust out the old Star Wipe transitions

 

You could go all JJ Abrams lens flare overload....

 

Oh I got those TrapCode plugins still. We can Flare the shit out of it!

 

Funny... we’re probably the only ones who know wtf talking about. yea a lot has changed with all the plugins over the years and recently Maxon bought Red Giant so that will create some changes soon.

 

Oh you mean these?

 

getting them all into one format is really all I need. The rough cuts would be fine as well. I'm not looking for fancy transitions. Even though we were married in 2010, I'm not expecting anything greater than 1985 video quality.

Oh, she HATES Star Wars, so that would be perfect! Supposedly her dad made her watch them all on pretty much repeat growing up, so he pretty much ruined them for her.
