PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

I'm back to stock wheels now, and I want to paint my wheels black! I wish I'd known you were selling yours because I would have sold mine and flown out to Washington to buy it!

 

@Thuguon2.7

I see you have Washington plates, but the palm trees in the background are indicative of California...

 

@Thuguon2.7

But I looked it up and that dealer is in Bremerton...

I actually went to Bremerton almost 18 years ago when my dad was still was in the Navy and he was stationed at Whidbey Island...

At the age of 13, I got to visit this lady!

 

Those wheels on it were the stockers I just got the duplicolor flat black plastidip it’s durable as hell. As I said earlier it’s still on the wheels 4 years later haha. && that woulda been sweet to have sold to ya. Then I’d see postings on it and be like damn, it went to a good home. That’s one helluva trek from WA to PA tho.

 

@Thuguon2.7

Did you put a stereo system in yours? The biggest different between mine and the one you trade is that mine is an automatic, but my parents bought me the truck brand new when I got my learner's permit and I've grown quite attached to it. In the spring of 2018, me and my neighbor installed a subwoofer and amplifier and that took about six hours!

 

Haha we got some palm trees in WA too..
(Yuppies do) that’s awesome tho you’ve been to Bremerton and been on them boats. I get to work on those everyday.
But there’s a shit ton of Tacoma’s out here all years from slammed to overland rigs, this is Yota country.very good deals too..and if you goto the Indian reservations they sell em alittle cheaper.

 

Nah no radio upgrade but it came stock with the touch screen.
it was basically stock. I just had LCE headers ,k&n drop in filter, removed the secondary filter in the intake box (major difference) straight piped with cherry bomb extreme and tail lights.

The clutch kinda sucked but it did it’s job for a base model truck it was just squeaky as hell. Almost sound like one of the toy chickens

I had plans to get the URD super charger and all that Jazz with the djm 3/4 drop kit I was gonna make it a single cab x-runner. I still have 2 16x8 cragar d window wheels for it too. Sold the headers on here to a dude from Oregon. Sold it for $18k with 35k mileage. Then Got my access cab.

Did the cat stay in place? It must be nice to live in a state with no emissions testing or safety inspection!

 

Ok, I think I'm caught up now.

Couple of notes to consider.

I'm glad you know what you want in the dating scene, but it's also important to just go out there for the fun of it. A strange paradox of life goes like this: before you can be happy with anyone else, you must first be happy with yourself. This is always first, rule number one no matter if you're 20, 35, or 100 years old, to have a good rest of your life you must first like the person that is inside you. And then go have fun.

It's too easy to measure someone up to standards when on a date. Basic generalized standards are ok, like they must have their shit together, probably shouldn't be a felon, etc. Detailed standards are iffy. If she likes the same Dr. Who actor as you, cool, but don't add a point on the mental scoreboard over it. People make this mistake all the time, not realizing that the emotion is playing optical illusions on the logic. You have to listen to your very core, primitive gut. Judge a date on one thing and one thing alone: was it fun? If the answer was hell yes, ask for a second date. If the answer was meh, maybe it was fun... Trust me, it wasn't, and it's not worth a repeat. If in doubt, refer to rule number one, be happy with who you are, know that you can have fun being by yourself, and if someone wants to augment the fun, bonus.



HVAC is a solid choice, by the way. I just want to throw out there, there's a shortage in the wind turbine industry, I've met some turbine guys that make major bank, a decent bit more than my college educated ass. It might be worth investigating. Not that HVAC doesn't, but it seems like the guys that make it big in the air con business are either great at sales or they get into commercial installs.

Who would like to see the pictures I took of (and onboard) the Battleship Wisconsin last month?!?!

 

Yeah the Title is from 1998 when I bought the car.

 

One Iowa-class battleship, coming up!

 

It was pouring in Norfolk that day...

 

The Lincoln? I've only been on the USS Abraham Lincoln...

Or did you go on another Nimitz-class carrier?

 

My cousin volunteers as a tour guide aboard the Wisconsin when he's not working as a park ranger, so going aboard the ship with him is like taking VIP tour!

 

Some ships at nearby Norfolk NAS; My cousin correctly identified them all, but I forgot the names already...
