Scouting trip...

 

soooooo registered the taco...needless to say i hate the DMV even more..had to turn in my great grandfathers plates ( Z - 506)...everyone in my family has a Z followed by 3 numbers but since the tacoma needs a commercial plate i couldnt transfer mine.....

 

Everything I have read on it says its open .

 

I know it has been run this year, the state has always been weird about the water crossing at the end because it is wetlands. My club is planning on running it in july, and we always send a rep to the NEA meetings and we havnt heard anything otherwise.

Worse case I bet they would block the water crossing so you may have to turn around and run it both ways.

 

My wallet hates Amazon/ebay, i went on a little shoppig spree...

2009 replacement grill from partsgeek, paint to match
2 - 12x48 mesh sheets from customcargrills powdercoated
10 toyota oil filters with crush washers for $40 shipped (good deal on ebay)
4 cans of MGM colormatch paint from automotive touch up
2 cans of 2k clear coat
20 oz of polyester finishing putty
Plastic epoxy
Zip tie bases
Meguires clay bar kit
Meguires scratch 2.0
Huge pack of microfiber rags

Still need a few other supplies that i will pick up locally, but it looks like im going to have a nice shiny truck soon and a few satoshi grills for sale

 

Damn... just used my last oil filter last week, I should check Ebay to pick up some more.

 

doing my oil change/laundry list of shit sunday... should have looked on ebay...

 

heres the ebay link
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-909...Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item41629a88ec
they are listed at $47 OBO, I offered $40 and it was accepted immediately, so you might even be able to get them for cheaper

ok, right link this time

 

Waiting

 

Just got the same deal. There must be a reserve set on it. I offered $35 and it was declined immediately. $40 was accepted.

 

Not bad..now where the F can I get a backing plate and polish pads locally without ordering them?

Not sure if I will go that way anyhow, just exploring options.

 

Any place that sells the buffer you have should sell the accessories for it separately I would think (or would at least be able to order them)

 

I offered $38 and it was declined. I'll go with $40. Good find!

 

Auto body supply stores sells lake county pads down here and any compounds imaginable

 

any recommendations on two auxiliary lights to mount on my Westin Bull Bar...not to expensive hopefully...?? Thanks!!

 

I'd recommend Trek Lights. Fast shipping! Should show up for Christmas






I like my hella 500's. Treated me well for 3 years

 

haha oh lord..im thinkin off Amazon..two day shipping

 

What kind of budget are you thinking?

 

under 200 for two for the bull bar

 

I've had good luck with my PIAA 520's so far. I found a pair on Amazon for just over $100 shipped but I had to make my own wiring harness for them (not hard at all if you know anything about wiring). Things to think about, do you want spot pattern or flood? Will they function with your low beams, be on all the time, tied to the high beams, etc?
