New Mexico Owners BS Thread

haha well its ok i guess i have the only half impulse red and half muddy implse red rollin around. i went to wash my truck off yesterday when i was done and i only had two bucks and the water shut off so i only got half of it washed haha.

 

Thx, will do. I'll see if I cant sneak off some cell-phone pix of their lab.

Also, anybody down south. I did wash my truck today, which means its going to phucking rain soon....

 

haha same here never fails aint that a bitch man. i just washed all the mud and ish off my truck this morning and got it all pretty, and now its raining i shoulda known it was cloudy and cold when i left my house.

 

I washed and waxed my shit yesterday and what happen today? SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW so i said eff it and did some random donuts and 360s in a mudd puddle and shit haha

 

haha ya i know what you mean, i did a few in that big church parking lot on the north side of montgomery and an effin cop just happend to drive by and well he came into the lot and talked to me about my safty and others safty then said "off the record nice james bond move and nice truck" haha i was like wtf??

 

haha damn u got lucky it was a chill cop he coulda been a dick and been like heres your ticket sir haha

 

ya true that and with my luck i usually get the dick heads like when i got pulled over for my exhaust, but i think cops have to have permission from the property owner (if its private property) to issue a citation i think?

 

Anybody here running the M1 0W-30? I decided to give it a go since it's cold outside and I won't have to fret, (knock on wood), about catastrophic engine damage if the stuff sucks. Gonna drive to Phoenix tomorrow, so I'll see how it does as far as the mileage.

 

I think so. I don't even know if there are additional additives in there. The theory is obviously, lighter weight, less resistance, less force to drive the piston = more efficient power.. however, I'm sure its more susceptible to breakdown at lower temperatures, and will carry a shorter change interval. It says that its warranty safe for vehicles requiring 5w30 and 10w30 oils though..

 

me and alex were talking about this oil a few pages back and i have read some pro's and con's of the 0w, with the biggest pro being that 0w will ensure proper lubrication upon start-up, but from what i read after running for sometime the 0w serves no justice because the viscosity is just to light when the oil heats up, there are a few guys running that 0w and i have read a few threads about it on the boards here.

I currently run M1 5w-30 syn. but i might give the 0w a whirl after all it says its safe and guaranteed.

 

i agree with southern after we talked about it i did some research on it....and yes the lower the number the low the viscosity. but if you try it out let us know if you notice any thing different!

 

next oil change ill try it out but it wont be for another 5500 miles which will more the likely be a few months maybe may or so

 

haha well i can try it out soon enough im at 53XXX i gotta get one soon with the way i drive.....just gotta find some change to buy it.

but sorry to cahnge the topic but i may be going to look at an 1st gen 4runner tomorrow 4x4, its kinda ugly by what the guy posted and he said that the engine it great and clutch (he claims to be a yota mechanic)....so i will see but is there anything you guys can think of to look out for?

only thing i can think of are....
--enging
--clutch
--rust
--dont really care about interior or exterior that much cuz i wana use it was a trail rig
--and well i guess head and tail ligts so i can drive it on the street
--anything more?

 

yup sure will be a trail rig! and alright ill deff take a look under the runner and see how it is under there. and i know dont turn haha, but im pretty sure they are manual hubs anything to look out for with those?

 

anyone do the satoshi grille to there taco yet? im thinking about doing mine but i wanna leave it chrome but wanna have the black in the back

 

ya man i did it to mine.....well kinda i did it to my first girll i was in the process of color matching and my dumbass ran over it haha

 

no way haha u left it on the floor and forgot about it or what that sucks lol

 

actually no i was helping my gf's dad in the yard while i was painting (color match) i had just put the last coat on it was perfect! and i put the grill back in with out the tabs or screws and lacthed the hood but didnt close it, let it dry while i was helping for about an hour or two.

then my gf and i decided to run to walgreens and i drove off with it and we got around the corner realized that my hood wasnt closed so i got out closed it. dorve back to her house.

about two hours later or so completly forgot that i didnt put the screws in or tabs drove off again we were going to the mesa i was on the free way and i freaked out cuz my hood was jumping up and down, i was like fuck i didnt close it right!!! went to pull over on the shoulder and when i slowed down to like 5mph it just fell out and i ran over it.

god i was so pissed!! i just want to walk out right in front of the next semi haha

 

damnn man atleast everythings ok like ur hood didnt fly up and hit the windshield or something. I read ur earlier post u getting another car?

 

ya serously that would really sucked, well not sure if im gonna pick it up tomorrow haha im just looking around for my options its still kinda early but im pretty sure ill have the money for one this summer if not sooner.

im going to look at a 1st gen 4runner tomorrow 5 speed 4x4 119,000 miles, but i guess its pretty ugly the guy replaced some missing or broken parts and got them from you pull and pay, but doesnt really matter im looking for a trail rig so well see what happens
