Hawaii Inbound

Hey guys!!!! Wanted to give everyone a heads up I will be moving to Oahu this summer. If anyone needs the longest Tacoma train let me know. I know shipping is a beast but this will be free. You would just need to come grab once I arrive. Let me know. I’m see y’all in a few months.

 

Right on man!

 

Hey guys, any place there you recommend to purchase rims from? I’m on my count down to get out there!!!!

 

Depends on what you are looking for (doesn't it always?). I think MJ Motorsports carries some SCS wheels and the T4R Pro style ones, but can't really speak to their stock levels. I'm thinking of switching from my SCS Ray 10s to F5s, and I will likely order through them when the time comes. Not sure about 4WP or Maui Off-road, maybe someone else can chime in. You might also be able to get lucky on FB marketplace out here, but I wouldn't count on it. I would just buy whatever you want back on the mainland and get it in your HHG shipment, but you are probably doing that already since you offered to TW express (which was awesome BTW).

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll have to hit them up and see if they can get want I want. Discount tire can’t get what I want in time. Guess I should have ordered sooner. Oh well. I’ll wait on installing my lift kit until I get out there also. Might just have to keep everything stock. So might be some parts for sale....

 

Finally made it out to Oahu!!! Def a different change of pace that will take some getting used to. Truck won’t be here until 9 Aug. sucks

 

Gotta slow waaaaay down to get on island time, braddah

 

Hawaiian time all the time lol! I miss it though, everyone always in a rush up here.

 

I’m loving that part for sure. But trying to find a place to live and a second car is no joke!!! I didn’t know everyone was rich. Lol

 

Sometimes I have to fly to Oahu for VA appointments. You have to wait till August? Damn that's harsh.

Uncle Sam at least has you covered. You will be pleased to share the road with some of the best drivers on the planet!

 

Best things on the rock are all free. Surf, sun and sand. You sure you need 2 vehicles?

 

People have been super nice. I am happy for that. Been trying to get out here for 16 years.

 

Yea. With zero housing on base and probably living 30 mins from base, wife will need one

 

I’ll check the coconut wireless in case I have a lead.

Everything is about who you know.

 

What coconut wireless???

Staying downtown and I have seen some sexy Tacos!!! One is literally parked at my hotel. Courtyard Mariott. I’ll take a pic today.

 

Haha, right? Paradise tax...plus, everyone marks vehicles up over here (even the private sellers to sometimes hilarious results). For housing, have you checked all of the housing offices? You can live basically anywhere in government housing, everyone is just tiered differently based on their service/duty station.

Not sure if serious...

 

lol... that was my thought also.

 

Fo levels of price
Tourist-$$$$
Haole-$$$
Kama'aina-$$
Native-$

 

Well I need that native price from sure!!!! Poor man here

 

Native is born and raised with Hawaiian blood or at least some Asian ancestry.

I’m guessing you are Haole like me so best we can reach is Kamaaina. Kama is child / offspring and Aina is land so Kamaaina is “child of the land” or roughly as local as a Haole can get.

Get your Hawaii state ID as soon as you can. That plus military ID plus humble speech and a few good connections will open many doors.

Haole (clueless) to Kama’aina (local) is a big jump.
