Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Hey Mike are you coming the the meet and greet?

 

Who me?

I'm going to try. I haven't seen my softball schedule yet.

 

I passed by your truck last week (remember, I have relatives on your street) and we slowed down because there was a guy in front and I was wondering if it was you. The guy turned around and barbed arrows came out of his eyes. He was probably wondering WTH is this person slowing down and looking at! Scared me so I just kept driving...

 

I might have been me or one of my roommates. I don't remember anyone driving slow by me. What day was it?

 

Jerry's pretty good about fitting people in for that kind of stuff. Plus I don't think he's started the group buy stuff yet.

 

I have this for now (for sale btw). I have a rear bumper and swing out tire carrier on the way.

 

Oh I don't remember. It was a older guy. He was in front of the house looking up at the front of it, maybe at the roof.

 

Bricks must have been shat.

 

Where are you in the Bay? My cousin welds street cars and he can do that no issue for cheap.

 

Would it be worth carrying spare oil to change after a water crossing like that?

 

If the timing belt/chain breaks how effed could the engine be?
I know theyre non interference so a 350 might still be salvageble but there might be smaller things messed up within it.
Also what to check to see if anything effed inside of it.

 

I just saw this. Thanks to you both. Learned something new today!

 

Ermahgerd thanks for reminding me. I JUST now remembered the previous owner of the station wagon told me that the belt needed to be changed at 95k and he kept putting it off. He sold it to me at 105k The car is now at 108k. Oh dear.

 

Tsk tsk come on Siu.
Best get on that this weekend haha.

 

I know! But to do that is about 1500 usd if I take it in. Plus I'm working this weekend. Maybe I'll just drive the truck for a while.

 

Yeah drive the truck until you get a chance to take it in.
Best not to turn a 1.5k job into something more expensive, and after driving the truck for awhile the wagon will feel almost brand new so race car.

 

I guess you didn't see my fb post. Yes still racecar.

 

I just went through this exercise

You are in SAC so if you wanted to drive to Santa Cruz, you could avoid the shipping cost. Pay cash, get a discount. Tell them you heard about them from me (and mention TW) and you might also get a bit of additional discount too. www.tepuitents.com

The prices are about the same. I made a little spreadsheet to help me. I didn't include shipping because that's driven largely by where it's shipped from. Tents on a Rack isn't on my list but you get the idea. I also believe most RTT are manufactured by the same company-components are the same, installs work the same way, internal constructions, mattress and so on. So it really comes down to what someone's charging and how they're going to support and service you.

I bought from Tepui. Responsive and great customer support.

HTH.

 

Want.
