Oahu Members Thread

Sup guys,

just picked up my tacoma last week.

I was wondering if any of you had your slider bars made locally here on Oahu, and if so, where?

I have nerf bars for now that I got from my brother 07 Tacoma but really like the look of slider bars with kick out like he ones he has.

Anyway, wassup!

 

we might be able to conceal carry...http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/27814397/hawaii-concealed-carry-law-could-change

 

Bigger hood scoop = more HP!

 

fuck yes...we also need to change laws regarding home invasion. sickening hawaii laws protect the criminal.


on another note totally off topic, so my gf bought a gopro 1 for her little sister from bestbuy online. they sent me 2 only charged for one. i sent an email to bestbuy as good faith to try and return the extra gopro. they want me to go out buy new shipping packaging and send it back, they will not reship an empty package to me. can bestbuy charge my cc again if I dont resend or take a long period of time to return it?

 

Not if you didn't authorize the charge. I'd just dispute it with your CC if it becomes an issue. See what you get for being too honest!

 

yeah i guess haha..figured if i just kept it and sold it karma would find me. i dont go down towards bestbuy often only when i go to pakshak to grab detail stuff and i just restocked my shelves lol.

 

they messed up, their loss.

my gf had a similar issue when she ordered some bluray's on Amazon...they sent her the wrong movie(ordered bluray+dvd+digital and sent just bluray) 3 times. she kept all 3 and let it go. They never contacted her back about returning the wrong ones either.

 

Yeah like Mike said I'd let it go and just sit on it for a while. Maybe if after 30 days they don't persue you for the return then it's yours. They should have the burden of trying to get it back. Not make you work for it. Not like it's a big loss to their company's bottom line anyways. At worst its a tax write off for them. I would feel differently if we were talking about an actual person. Then I'd make an effort.

 

thanks for the responses. prolly gonna hang on to it for a while till i head down bestbuy side

 

PLEASE, ABOUT TIME!

 

Aloha and welcome! There's no sliders on Oahu being sold or made unfortunately. Although plenty guys got the talents to make them on here... Gotta do what most of the guys do and get on the Group Buys when they come around, That's your best bet and saves you on shipping charges.

 

Installed a 2013 Camry SE steering wheel. Airbag plugged in with no problems. None of the buttons work because my truck didn't have them to begin with anyway, so it doesn't bother me. Maybe at some point I can change the clock spring for the audio controls, and get the interface for my aftermarket deck.

 

Now that's a different look.

 

its definitely possible to add the wiring...I added the 09+ Bluetooth controls to my 07, just needed to add the harness.

just depends if the plugs behind the airbag are the same or different...and if your deck will accept the input.

 

The plug that goes into the clock spring is different between the camry and tacoma. Camry also has a few more wires because of the paddle shifters. I would have to re-pin it which wouldn't be a big issue just need to find out each wire output for both cars. I really don't think I'll be doing it anyway. I've gone this long with out them lol.

Thanks! Really makes the interior feel updated now.

 

forgot about the paddle shifters hehe...

 

watched this video from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show earlier today:
http://new.livestream.com/Toyota/Detroit2015/videos/73618845

skip to 8:30 to see the TRD Off Road model. one thing that caught me off-guard was the "standard" GoPro mounts near the rear view mirror in all models.

 

The front grille is huge, compared to the older models. And, the way the bumper is, makes it look like the truck has lips.

 

The front ends proportions don't look right. Hood seems flat on top, then curves down at the front. And yeah, look like it has lips, and reminds me of this

 

europe wants sleeker, slimmer styles, hence the hilux

america want big truk. meaty grill, like hamburger.
