28x32. Too small

$1800 for 1200 linear feet of 7/8 x 6 pine. Stupid $$. But still ridiculously cheaper than it would have cost to do it in 3/4 Advantech.

 

tacomaworld just banned all the OVtune accounts. Whaaaaaaaat

 

I am assuming it is due to all of the BS that is caused by the OVtune (the tune not the member) causing some issues with some peoples trucks and the arguments that it starts. This is just my thought on it, but don't quote me. I have a buddy with a 3rd gen, not on TW, that had his truck OV Tuned and it made the truck ride worse......even after 1000 miles and the truck never "learned" like the person said it would. I have a lowly 2nd gen so I do not have direct first hand experience on it.

 

Howdy gentleman. Hope ya'll had a good weekend. Mine started off real well, took the boy up to the lake and caught his first fish of the season. Sunday he turned 7. Jesus it flies by. Then Monday I had a bad ear infection so that left me out of commission for a bit. Haven't had one of those since I was a kid. Painfullllll

 

I've only heard few and far between negative reviews like that. What I did see in a few seconds of looking, is as of late, they're also hit by chip shortages and cancelling orders etc, and users are reporting them to the mod team here. So the mod team shit canned it and said it's too much work for them, with everyone reporting OVT for stuff like that.

Interesting move - not how I would have handled it if it is just the shortages, but to each their own, not my circus not my monkeys (I have the new tune from Toyota on the TSB and it's perfect, in my mind).

 

3/4" Exterior OSB I am bidding 130% higher than what I did just a year ago.

And I agree, too small. I could live in a 300sf house, but the garage would be perfect if it were say, 30'x60'.

 

Mine's 24x24 and I don't understand how they consider that to be an "oversize two car". What's a normal two car supposed to be, then?

I can fit my F-150, the girlfriend's CX5, and the work benches, tool chests, compressor, etc. in the winter but that's about it. There isn't much room to walk around things.

 

Ha i may swing by. I took the kids out in the canoe Tuesday night. I'm hoping my outboard starts right up and I don't have to mess with it so I can take them out on the boat this weekend.

 

Ill throw them in whatever vehicle we bring there in case. I’m sure I’ll be fishing with my 2 at some point. The Eagles seem to be getting the bigger fish as of late and then flaunting that shit eating them on the rocks.

 

Little upgrade to the boat last week, rail mounted BBQ and bait board. Used to set up a mini Weber gas grill on the rear casting deck but this will be so much better. Also used to cut bait on a big cutting board set up on the rear deck, made a horrific stink afterwards.



Burgers cooking while trolling!

 

Does that swing in so it's not handing off the side and shaking the hell out of the grill when your motoring to/ from trolling spots?

 

Which is interesting.

I had no issues. In fact, the tune is the only reason I still have the truck.
I saw the original thread get locked, and I thought he/they wanted all stuff related, done on his forum, as it would he easier to follow, and take some load off the mods here.

Then, I swear stuff getting locked last night....

I dunno...

 

It can slide off the track system for travelling over the road. On the water the thing is absolute rock solid, I'll motor with it in place. It latches shut and doesn't even rattle. I could trailer with it attached but that's probably asking for trouble.

 

Getting started. Whatever this nasty black shit Toyota put on for CRC (it's actually a product called Noxudol and is absolutely not appropriate for this application) is a real pain to get off, at least where the rust hasn't eaten it off from underneath.

Sigh.

 

Eh that could be all it is too - just let them run it on their end, just seems weird to ban them - communication could have been better

 

Did your friend tune himself, or was it third party?

 

I agree.....my truck is so much better with the tune. I think a big issue was third party people tuning trucks, then the people who got tuned by them complaining to ovtune about it instead of going back to the person who tuned them.

 

Third party. and even got it done twice to try to correct it.

 

And this is why I never offered to do it, nor, will I run 3rd party tune in general.
There is just so much code, and information in these ECMs and TCMs, etc...

Otherwise, I really don't know squat about what happened, and personally, as someone said, not my circus, not my monkeys.... I will stay out of it. I'm happy with 2.0 final, but, eagerly await the refinements of 2.0 ultimate. That is all I DO know.

Either way, probably best, just to drop it altogether, lest it becomes a problem...

On another note... road trip in the morning.

 

That's part of the problem. There have been third party people, I'm not saying all because there are a lot of stand up people doing it, who say they are tuning with a new file but scam the person by just flashing a stock file.
