NJ Taco's

i got the auto start and bypass for christmas, and a friend of a friend who does installs for a living did it for $100.

Enough of this cold weather BS, it needs to warm up for a mod day!

 

Haha, Im in South Fla at the moment. I actually got my wheels powdered coated down here the other day. They look great. Unfortunately ill be on my way back to s. jersey today. This is no good. Let the long driving begin.

 

Ate Super Blue - 1 Lite, I'm getting ready for my 30k service and I'm going to use Ate Super Blue - 1 Liter to change out the brake fluid. The cost for shipping is the same for 1 liter as for 16 liters in fact the cost of shipping for 1 liter is almost as much as the the cost of the brake fluid so I'm wondering if you guys would be interested in a kinda group purchase. If there is enough interest by the case would be even mo better. We could split it up on a mod day. We could do the same for OEM oil filters and other stuff. I hope this is a good place contact to all you North Jersey, Lower NY guys. Let me know what you think.

 

dont know anything about this? if its worth it, i could be in

 

I'd have to check for the links but it was suggested on TW using the blue because it makes it easy to tell when you have the old mellow yellow out and the new in. It is also suggested that we don't use syn brake fulid, it's NG. If you want more details I'll try to hook you up with some links. Thanks for the interest.

 

along with the anytime fogs mod, i wanna do this one..

soon, very very soon, who is in, lets do it and git'r'done. this looks to be important. this seems so simple and yet so ridiculous that original design for these is as such,

mike, is yours like this...rewired or what not

 

i did the breather mod about a month ago. it was really easy, just need the parts, i think in total i paid $8 for the parts from toyota. Then a couple bucks for the 1/4" fuel line.

I did it a little different, bc i didn't have the breather thing next to the gas cap. I attached it to the side of the bed cubbies. Its on the side of the cubby that is behind the actual bedside so its not visible. Just drilled two holes in the cubby and zip tied it there, also zip tied it to something underneath the truck, leaving enough slack in the line for flex etc. So far no problems, all good.

Just got my tires in today(Duratrac 285s), and I mounted them on the wheels at my buddies shop. Tomorrow i'm going to have them balanced lug centrically with a road force balancer which is cool b/c it puts a load on the wheel/tire as if it was on the truck. WOOOOOOT!!! Then i gotta find time to put on my OME lift. lol, until then stock 245 dunfails and stock ride height will have to do.

I'm off Feb 21st that sunday, well i get outta work at 7am. I'm all for a mod day, and help out with other guys mods. I'd be down to do something that day as long as the drive isn't too far lol. Orange county NY was a lil' far about 3hrs each way for me.

 

do you think you can post a pic of where yours is....i didn't like the gas cap area to much, and prefer somewhere else, the storage cubby seem slike a great place for it.

 

yah no problem i'll take some pics tomorrow of where i put it, and underneath etc.

 

sup people!!! anyone from Mount Laurel area, ready to do maintenance stuff like 30k?
cause I'm ready to do mine and might need some expert to watch over so I dont F up!!
thanks!

 

where is mt laurel?

 

Everyone I am going to start a thread for a mod/meet day in Orange County,NY just to let you guys know.

South Jersey... outside of Philly... and hate phillies!!

 

so i was driving home from work tonight on 295... and I hit this pothole the size of alaska and it was so deep that... when the wheel and pothole made contact... it made this HUGE thumb noise!! It moved my truck... good thing I had control of it!! I thought I lost my tires, rims, and my alignment... It was still ok afterwards... but I can't avoid this stupid f-ing hole! I was so PISSED!! basically NJ DOT not doing there job and I would have to spend my OWN money to get it fixed!!! I dont know what the F are they doing with this stupid road!! They aren't fixing that it needs to fix and fixing that doesn't need to be fixed!!! I have to say most of the time, I am really not proud from NJ....*sigh*... you guys think that I'm ok??? Hope it didn't damage my toe and camber stuff...

 

Dday here are the pics of the way i did it, they're kinda shitty sorry. Also a pic of the anytime fog light mod, which was also really easy I just followed the directions on the sticky.
