Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Big relate. Truck has always been a bit off, and the 03 may or may not have at least 1 3/4 inches of toe in the rear...
I found out north bound on 35 on my trip that I can just kinda hands free open drinks and shit in the new car which was liberating to say the least.

Properly aligned vehicle who?

I meannnnnn that's prob what I'd do at this point

 

Could always trade it for a new Frontier. Just saying

 

Yup it’s whatever thou it drives decently at least I’ll get aligned again and see how it does

yup that’s basically the plan is just say screw it and not worry about it

 

Haha ya but I’m trying to stay out of debt maybe in a year or so but I got some plans in the future for a shop (2 car garage basically) with a lift so I’ll see

 

Photo dump from today


First time in a long time it’s been “offroad”

This is the front frame brace on the passenger

This is the rear frame brace on the driver side you can see the gaps in it…

This is the passenger rear frame brace where the lca mount is bent

My truck in it’s natural habitat

Parts for Sumi that I’ve been needing

 

Highly recommend staying out of debt.

Also recommend not getting hit by degens in the turn lane. RIP 2017 Pro4X.

 

Noooo did your truck get hit man?

 

She gone

 

Damn really? Any pics?

 

Fender bendered a month or so ago, body shop is way overbooked, but the initial estimate said I'm gonna need a new front clip, crash bars did their job and absorbed a 5000 lb Chevy.

FF to last week, trucks starting to make a clunk noise when cycling front suspension, I'm thinking if it gets bad I'll take it in, kid was just born and don't have time or $$$ to deal with this. Clunk turns into grinding, pull over like, half a mile from a Nissan dealership, sure enough UCA is a little bent, ball joints are shitting the bed, shock is leaking, and the steering has picked up a wobble. Get it into the turn lane to pull into the Nissan dealer, and wham here come a Honda Pilot going the other way (Honda dealer on the other side of this big ass road).

So now I'm in even more debt, because while the 2017 was paid off from that, I needed to get something with both seats and 4x4, so my options were a CPO 2019 Pro4X in gun metal, OR for a measley 2k more, a brand new 2022 SV with tow package, bed utility package, 4x4 DCSB in Tactical Green (limited run color). And it's black friday all month, plus the finance guy was excited about my daughter being born, his was born just 3 weeks ago, so I also got lifetime power train warranty and 3 years/ 60,000 miles of free basic maintenance/services.

Good stuff, but fuck, I'm as good as broke. Glad I have a comfortable, quiet and safe ride for the kiddo though. (Remote start too, never had that before, supah nice for the cold)

 

Only have a pic from the night before lol



Phone is in the process of dying, pretty much only works when it's plugged in now, AND I got a credit card fraud call last week (are you currently in Florida? ) So you know, just keep rolling them bones lol.

 

Like damn that sucks ass man

 

Dude god damn! Now that is some crazy shit awful bad luck

 

No money November is coming after you with a vengeance

 

I'll get through it. Like we talked on the phone, the way the markets going, I could actually make some money off the new Frontier lol

 

At this rate probably a lot of money lol

 

Joined two Nissan groups on FB geared around Frontiers after getting this one, and from what I'm seeing, Tactical Green is the rarest color, and Nissan aren't taking orders (no one is) and even some of the Pro4X guys are buying SVs just to get the color.

Which leaves me in an advantageous position.

 

Oh snaps.

 

Right. So if shit keeps hitting the fan, Im not sunk. Not yet.

And if I ever get one of the 1478 pormotions I've put in for, then things will be slightly better lol.

 

Hopefully you get something. No way in hell I'll put in for some kind of promotion at my job. The amount of stress that comes with any position there isn't worth it
