Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Clean title or not I would still be cautious that whoever is flipping it only worried about fixing cosmetic damage and there could be underlying problems unseen. Definitely wouldn't pay $20k for that, but maybe could use the lack of transparency to leverage a better price.

 

So it's coming up on a new month! I'm figuring since we've done a Mod Day for the last 3 months in a row, why not keep the streak alive?

Anybody got some new shit you want to attach to your truck? Any Newbs here lurking, thinking you should pull the trigger on that order, you have in your cart, from @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc, but don't think you know where to get the lift installed?

Or we could do some maintenance bullshit that is boring as hell when doing it by yourself, but really not so bad when you're drinking a beer and talking some shit while you're at it.

@Motofox you were talking about needing to do some torque spec checks
@unk you're tryin to do an ESCG bushing (Haven't forgotten about you brother)

So what's up? We doin a 209 Mod Day version 9.0?

 

You may already know that I'm always up for a good donation and today was no exception. Lunch proceeds and donations today go to Sacramento Stand Down who recently had over $35k in supplies for helping homeless veterans stolen. People suck and I'm glad to work for a place that does it part in helping our communities.... Also a good excuse for "free" swag

 

Only if you get the leaner kit. Hard hat, safety vest, boots (osha), and a broom or shovel to lean on.

On a more serious note, the repairs could have been minor. So unless it’s a salvage title, it’s probably ok.

 

Thanks for the recommendation!

Called this morning and Armando said to come on in at 1300. Asked if I could leave it and pick up later today. Showed up at 1315 and decided to wait - figured I'd walk down to Starbucks or whatever. He pulled a Jeep out of the shop, pulled my wife's car in and put it on the rack. Started working on it immediately.

Within 10 mins he had the sensor out and the new one in. Talk about an awesome dude.

If you're in the Bay Area and need a muffler shop/exhaust work done, El Camino Mufflers is the shop to use! Definitely call ahead of time since he is a one man shop.

 

I’m a fan and have been to him a couple of times. He’s right around the corner from me too. I’ve gotta get the exhaust tuck and will definitely go back.

The only issue is the dick a door or two down from him. He apparently thinks he controls who parks where.

 

In, need to install this snorkel

 

Beer at work? Don’t mind if I do

 

We can do that. Never done a 2nd gen... but 1st gen wasn't too bad.

 

If that’s the eBay special, it’s the exact same one I have

 

2nd gen snorkel isn't too bad...

 

Oh crap... hard to keep track. I was thinking you have a 2nd gen Taco, but you have a 3rd Gen T4R... hell ya, we can totally do that shit.

 

CN we rivet my damn snorkel

Would love 3 sets if possible for my buddies thay deployed

 

I just screwed mine in with self tapping screws cause I was too impatient to wait for @foxrcing07 rivnut gun


But I'll bet if we let him know when we are going to do this, he'd be more than happy to let us use it.

 

I've got a couple things that are waiting on another thing, and 700lb springs to be installed but I'm not sure we can do that with what we have.

 

I need to rivet mine too, the 2 sided tape finally let go.

 

We still need to procure a spring compressor (for coil springs) like the one I was going to try and pick up in Santa Cruz. @Pella needs to use one too, to preload his ADS a bit more, to get some more lift in front.

I've been keeping an eye out. But, @foxrcing07 is better at finding that shit on Craigs etc than I am.

 

The glass tiny guy directly next door didn't say much when I pulled in front of his shop - gave a little stinkeye but no words. The place is definitely lacking in parking. Didn't help that the food truck was parked right in front of his shop.

 

thats on my list of things to do next year (when I need to get rid of my CAI and pass smog).

 

I've got the compressor and slee mount to do as well, but not sure I want it sitting in there until I get all my switch stuff sorted out.
