Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

So can anyone help me wire up a headunit, amp, and cb radio?

ive got some goodies laying around.

 

Whatever you do, don't ask Chris unless you want a rat's nest of wires.

 

Do you guys know of a way to test TPMS? I have a set off some Tacoma wheels and hoping to see if they are fully functional before selling them. I don't have TPMS on my 4runner so I'm not sure how it works.

 

you have to ping them with a tpms tool and check their signature which is like a 12 digit code

 

Ok, so basically just hope they work for the next guy I guess.

 

Since this is the BS thread, I must say that I was a given the biggest line of BS today. Good thing my friend who knows his stuff for real educated me more on this. Now I've got my a little bit of ammo next time the issue comes up.

 

Taillight warranty, once you can see his taillights drive away warrantys over.

 

Lol cant be any worse than the rats nest of a wiring harness that was attached to the headunit.

 

Do tell?

 

Bah. I need a louder horn.

"Racer boy" in the morning commute is determined to get around me in the 300 feet between where the freeway off-ramp dumps onto the right lane of the street, and where we have to merge all the way to the left turn lane for the left turn at the light - like I mentioned, a full 300 feet - plenty of room to complete a pass. (I expect he just figured that he was the only one who would be turning left and I wouldn't be. Dumb assumption. No, I'm pretty sure his complete and full thought process was "I need to get around this too-slow-truck.")

If it comes to that - my high clearance bumper and sliders are gonna do a hell of a number on his Camaro sheet metal in a fender bender - but I'd prefer not to have to have the hassle and insurance claim just because speedy-late-boy is driving like an idiot.

Base model single horn sounds so flippin' anemic in these "Don't-Crash-Into-Me-You-Flaming-Oblivious-Idiot" situations.

Grumble-curse-mumble-curse-mumble...

 

Fiam horns.

 

I saw that some posted they took the baffles off the front of the horns and they are loader. I might have to try this. Or ad a pa speaker and really tell him how you feel. Lol. I hate stupid drivers.

I'd like that "truck" sound but don't want to go to the hassle of finding space for big horns or plumbing up my ARB compressor to a larger air tank and having it run all the time.

 

Hey Jason, So i emailed Marty to see if he can lend a hand with my lift (which now, i wont be getting till next weekend cuz they dont have the toytec springs in stock ) and he is convincing me to just go SAS . Basically free labor. He said give him 3k, drop the truck off Friday, it will be ready Sunday afternoon ...........Decisions need to be made lol

 

SAS in a single weekend??

Has this fellow done it before? How many times?

In the absence of any other information - color me skeptical.

 

what could go wrong

 

Do you trust that guy? Im not sure i would after see him on that trip. But you no him better then me.

 

If was me i wouldn't do a backyard mechanic sas on a truck that isn't payed off and or a dd. plus that has no engineering into it. Throwing a chevy axle and springs under a project truck thats different. But not on a truck that you depend on.

 

Yea he has done these before.

I just met him once before that..lol....I like him, he's really cool and seems super knowledgable. I have known Steve forever (black chevy) and he would tell me if I shouldnt go thru him. Yea Marty is a crazy wheeler! lol. His rig is badass. Its ready to roll again

Thats a very good way of looking at it Jason. Thanks for slapping me back into reality..lol
