Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

anybody set off any awesome fireworks last weekend?

 

I had a mortar from a few years back. I guess it was too old. The thing never went up and the loud bang hit everyone in the chest and rang everyone's ears. Everyone was pretty pissed at me. My bad

 

Saw a pretty nice 1gen taco in Santa Cruz. 43MOTOX. Anyone we know?

 

did you take that thing out in the delta off 160 a couple weeks ago towed with an older f150 with a ez lift gate? If so we were the guys with the sailboat being towed with the grey silverado

anyhow .... saw some nice tacos in the fresno area over the weekend but dont remember details on em

 

Wanna tow it to Montana for me.
You need a summer vacation anyway right!

 

What color/mods?

 

I don't know what you call it but it looked almost champagne. Lifted but couldn't tell much else. The plate should be the giveaway.

 

How about we meet half way

 

Whats the best dealership for service (HA HA) in the sacramento area, preferrably east side. 87k miles and still 20k to go under warranty Gonna try to get this dealership to do the front diff bearing.

 

Roseville Toyota has always been good to me but I don't go to the dealer for much DIY FTW

 

Believe me, if I wasn't under warranty, neither would I. I'm gonna milk my 1200 bucks of extended warranty until the last drop is gone!

 

Oh ok, don't know him but there are a lot of modded 1gens around here.

 

I would recommend mine up here (and a specific service adviser), but they won't do it with your lift. You may need to try them all if the lift becomes an issue to see if one will do it regardless of your lift.

 

I have yet to have any dealer give me shit for a lift. If they give me shit then I just drive home and give my friends the business, and then I can drive the tundra home for lunch again.... Every dealer so far has simply been like.... 'nice truck'. If I tell them that my dealership lifts trucks then I might shut em up anyways.

 

Roseville toyota sucks ass.

 

If they give you shit for the lift... grab the service advisor, drag him to the showroom, point at any one of the brand new tacomas with lifts on them and simply ask "so, you're telling me if i buy this brand new truck here that i get no warranty on suspension or drivetrain" and see what they say.

 

^ exactly. Roseville Toyota has a Tacoma on the showroom floor with a 3" ProComp

 

This says it all.

 

Well....

One of the reasons those lifted trucks on the lot is *so* expensive is that "Dealer Services International" (a subsidiary of TAP, which is the parent company that also owns 4 Wheel Parts, but I digress) tacks on an extra 700 bucks or so for a new warranty that covers everything that's no longer warranted in the factory warranty as a result of doing the lift.

Go to the Dealer Services International website sometime when you're bored and check out the perspective "from the dark side."

 

Good, having lifted trucks on the lot makes me feel a little better about them. I know that if I do have issues, I have people I can call to get solutions, or at least 'ways' to make them do my biddings. Like I said though, I've never had issues as of yet.
