Agreed. They are a half to third the price of a king/icon/ADS shock with a beefier shock shaft. Also, not many people in the Northeast are doing high speed desert runs and needing a $2000 coilover. These bilsteins will also run for 50,000 miles without needing a rebuild, less likely to leak early like an icon, no spherical bearings to change out every year, etc, etc. IMO they will also hold up to the harsh salty winters better.

 

Some of you guys may remember a couple of years ago, my headlights were doing some weird stuff, and then they just stopped and went back to normal out of the blue...well it's happening again. I found another post that sounds like the same issue I have, and his magically went away too. Since I had the parts on hand from the last go around, I swapped the switch and the fuse block under the driver's side dash, as well as both the headlight and dimmer relays under the hood. No joy...

I'm about to lose my mind over this.

Oh yeah, got my new VT plates Saturday as well.

 

I hope you get that figured out Eammon!

Good morning everyone. Happy Monday!

 

Who's got a brown gen 2 with the NH plate "tacotruk" or something and was fishing Silver Lake in NH Saturday?

Got a big part of the e-track project done yesterday in the warm weather. All the wood backer is up and I just have two 5 footers and a 2 footer left. Was really weird spending the day outside in a t-shirt. It's mid January!

 

Good morning peeps. Racing tonight and February first.

Morning all. On my way up to Milbridge Friday night I had somebody in silver G2 Tacoma with very poorly-adjusted LED headlights come up behind me on I-95. Stopped for a coffee in Ellsworth to keep me going, and once I got on the road again I came up behind the exact same Taco pulled over by a cop and getting loaded onto a tow truck a little further up Route 1. I can only hope that it was because he got busted for illegal lighting, but hopefully it wasn't anybody on here.

 

Looking for suggestions...

My brother and I are looking to plan a small camping/fishing trip to get the guys in the family together. Were in Western mass but could travel reasonably for the right place. I just need a place to fish out of the kayaks and place to set up camp (preferably near each other). Could be at a state park, could be completely off grid, could be anywhere really. anyone have any cool places they don't mind sharing? MA/VT/NH would be good

 

Pillsbury State Park, Washington NH, perfect for what you are looking for.

 

Grand Isle State Park, VT

 

Thanks guys, I will look into these.

 

Wells State Park in Sturbridge is nice.
Reserve sites 18,19 and 20 and you have your own culdesac.

 

Have you been here? This is exactly like what I am looking for

Excellent recommendation but we actually have a family camp and boat docked on Champlain already. Thank you though.

 

looking into this now

 

Oh yes. Many times. I now live about 35 minutes away from there, but before I did I used to go there with 3 or 4 other buddies once a year. Some of the sites are literally lake side, but even if you can't get one of them you are never more than a 2 minute walk to the water. Some sites are remote access too, they can be real cool to camp on.

The ponds in that area are nice, undeveloped and private.. If you get tired of one, you can drive to another in 5 minutes. I can get you onto almost any species of fish that NH offers within a 20 minute drive. It's a cool area. It's also at elevation so the hiking is really cool around there. Highly suggested.

Edit: If you can get sites 6 and 7 to yourself, you will have the whole point and you can fish while sitting in your chair by the fire. We fish hornpout there, very very good for that.

 

And they'll surprise the hell out of you the first time you pull one in

 

Apologies if I've missed posts about this already - but I'm thinking about replacing the headlights on my '12, and I've heard people say that if I change the headlights the truck will fail Mass. inspection -- is there any truth to that?

Thinking about https://www.carid.com/2012-toyota-tacoma-headlights/anzo-euro-headlights-1510816813.html or these maybe https://www.carid.com/2012-toyota-tacoma-headlights/spyder-factory-style-headlights-287515675.html

Thanks

 

Those headlights suck... just have your professionally restored and clear coated

 

That's a load of bs... if they're not aimed properly they shouldn't pass. I suggest Depo branded aftermarket headlights. I run those in my 08' and have no issues with them.

When a fish comes out of the water and is grunting and making noise like a small dog, it surprises lots of people. Then they go to grab it and get the real surprise!

 

Yep.
