MARYLAND TACOMAS

Location is Dundalk Ave & Holabird ave. I was driving and couldn't take pics of it all. Looked like a 3rd world country. Sad because there was young kids there playing near some piles of trash bags . I don't understand how Baltimore county could let that happen. I couldn't wait to get back on to 70west.

 

Curiosity...lol!

 

I also use Erie, had them since I could drive... but back in PA full coverage on my 2014 base taco was $70/month. The exact same plan thru them in MD was $125.

 

I was born & raised in Baltimore. I never realized how expensive the cost of living was in Maryland until I bought my cabin here in WV. Potomac Edison electric bill is ALOT cheaper compared to my BGE bill in Baltimore. Property taxes for my cabin on 21acres here is $1200 a year! Insurance, vehicle registration ect... all cheaper.

 

But you earn a lot less money

True. But fortunately my wife works remote here at the cabin for a MD company making Md wages. I just trail ride & fish all day. Life here is so cheap that we are living comfortably with a single income. Alot of my friends that live in MD but have vacation homes here on the mountain use their WV address for vehicle registration & insurance because it's so much cheaper compared to Md.

 

Literally living the dream!

 

Yes I am. After working 27years straight in Baltimore city this time off in WV is nice. But I'm starting to get a bit bored so I may take on a part time job here soon. Plus I want to have a pole barn built up here and my wife said she doesn't want to touch our savings so that's another reason for me to cut my "retirement" short lol.

 

You got plenty of friends. Buy beer and pizza, have a pole barn building party lol

 

Installing my RCI sliders tomorrow. Anything I need to know?

 

Idk about RCI, but do you have a buddy helping you or is it just you doing the install?

edit: I did my body armor ones by myself and it sucked. I used jack stands to roughly hold them in place while I started the bolts.

 

Do my 7 and 5 year old count? Otherwise I may have my wife to help…

 

Lol, any help is useful honestly. I had mine propped up on jack stands, pushed it up with my knee, fed a bolt thru to get started and worked my way around. In hindsight, I should’ve just waited until I had someone to help, but I was impatient

 

He is so f*** awesome that we bring him beers and food instead

 

Cue up the Chuck Norris memes, except with @$500TRD ’s face

 

I did my front & rear bumper install by myself. Jackstands were a big help but a extra set of hands would've been nice.

 

What a shit hole I call that little spot the lost world.

 

Hey that impatient guy sounds familiar…maybe I can get them on with my wife’s help and stay married.

This is totally what I have pictures in my head of what’s going down tomorrow.

 

Haha. Yeah it’ll be like that, but with more wobbling and probably a lot of cursing pro tip, I used a couple vice grips and/or C-clamps once I had a bolt or two in to clamp the slider onto the frame.
