New England B.S. Thread

I took the day off so i’ve been in NY all weekend with my boys and the pup with family. Heading back to MA today in the rain.

 

I was just gun shopping on Saturday! Gonna send you a PM.

 

Good morning! Happy Monday to you all. Hope everyone is well.
Happy veterans day to those who have served and go out for all who have fallen.

 

Are you guys getting the freezing variety, or just regular rain?

 

Here in Southern/Central NH we are getting some light rain right now, but it's supposed to get a little crispy later.

 

I have the day off today so I finally picked up my weekly cold call from the toyota dealer asking why I don't pay $90 for an oil change anymore. So I scheduled a free follow up frame inspection because the crap they put on before all flaked off like if you painted wet concrete with housepaint. I was reading their list of eligible bulletins and saw one just called POL13-02...turns out if you have unintended acceleration there's a whole lot of compensation. http://media.fixed-ops.com/Toy_Campaigns/elt-dlrltr.pdf

 

Day off from the day job.
Working on the million things I need to do around here... thinking I may out it on the market in the next 12-18 months...
Oh fun.

So tempted to do the typical "flipper" things, and put lipstick on a pig.....

 

There still is a loophole

 

Surprise! Real shocker here that a 2.7L needs a manifold doughnut gasket repair. They of course want to weld it because they know this is a constant issue right
Hopefully I can find a cheaper than $600 solution the next time I fail inspection. For now as long as it's warmed up.

The frame is fine they said although they are not applying any new protectants and they realize the other one was kind of ridiculous and didn't do much. I'm covered until February 2022. Maybe I should look into some fluid film this year

 

Paint really goes along way, I just hate painting. Maybe go drive around and look for some M/T Tacos and enjoy a day of your life finally!




Did our bigger bridge today, need to add another pylon under one section just to stiffen up things in the middle, and I was 1 or 2 2x8's short, so am going to pick all that up now and will try to get it wrapped up before any precipitation. Also ordered some surepack to build up some ramps with that and rocks so they are all easy to drive/walk up.

Just FYI, this is going to be a walking bridge only, maybe 4 wheelers, but it was hard to find trees long enough and thick enough to span the 30+ foot gap. I did the best I could with trees close by that were realistically moveable.

 

come on over and ill spray it.....though if you're covered until 2022 i would probably start throwing salt at it hehehehe

 

who had the silver third gen in east providence on livepd this weekend??? haha yohb??

 

I thought about not protecting my frame and hoping it rots out, but my luck it will fail just after they will cover it.

 

my understanding was you have to have it checked to be eligible...once they check it then you are extended to 12 years from the first wheels on the road of the truck, even after re-sales.

 

Ya, it has to be checked. I think mine was a month or so ago. It was suggested by my advisor to stop spraying FF on it. He said it looked real good. So I should be covered till November 2028

 

STOP spraying? Was there a possible negative?

 

Ya, frame won’t need to be replaced

 

Oh ok...I need to park it in the ocean next year...and spritz it with pool cleaner?

 

Just drive behind plow trucks during storms.

 

70 miles a day on 495...Got that one covered already...
