Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

It's not really all that hard. All you need is an angle grinder and a welder.
Oh, and some steel. That would help.

 

I was reading some on that, and it will only work with certain phones at this point, meaning, you'll have to buy one.

 

Have you tried it out yet? I’ve been gonna sign up but I would also need to find a deadzone to goto

a couple weeks ago they must have upgraded one of the towers cuz I now I have 5g uw at my house

 

If you upgrade every year or two like Larry, you’ll already have one that works.

 

It would be a lot cheaper to upgrade phones than vehicles lol

 

This looks very interesting.

Wild New Rumor Suggests Toyota and Mazda Could Share an Inline-6 in Future Sports Cars
Could the successor to Toyota's fabled 2JZ-GTE actually be coming soon to both a Supra and an RX-7 successor?

The current version of the Toyota Supra has its charms, but its deep BMW roots leave it feeling very little like any other Toyota product. Mazda, meanwhile, doesn't even make a sports car larger than the MX-5 any more. Both of those things could be changing soon, and a wild new rumor suggests that the related cars will both use the same inline-six engine.

That rumor is from Japan's Best Car, which reports that Mazda is preparing a sports car to succeed the long-lost RX-7 line. Unlike the rotary-equipped PHEV Iconic SP concept shown two years ago, the magazine claims that this model would be powered by an inline-six engine shared with Mazda's corporate allies at Toyota. This car would be front-engined and rear-wheel-drive, suggesting possible shared development between the Mazda and the potential successor to the current BMW-aligned Supra.

If Mazda were to go forward with this rumored sports car, it would be the brand's first rear-wheel-drive performance car larger than the Miata line since the RX-8. Toyota, on the other hand, has a wide variety of performance cars across its Toyota and Lexus lineups. Since embracing performance cars again in the 2010s, the brands have introduced the GR 86, the newest Supra, the Lexus LC grand tourer, and rally-style GR variants of both the Corolla and the not-for-America Yaris.

This Supra report is far from the only new performance car rumor swirling around Toyota, either. Toyota has teased possible returns for both the Celica and MR2, and a new trademark in Brazil suggests that a GR Celica could be coming soon. The brand has also showed off and tested a GT3 concept that is expected to go racing in the near future, although the production version of that car could be sold as a Lexus rather than a Toyota.

An old friend of mine had a white RX7.
That was scary in the winter.
I want to say late 80's model.

 

Had a friend with a Supra in the mid 80's. I drove that car quite a bit and loved the power & handling. No, not good in the snow either.

 

I lost it when the head rolled out of the boat when he was scuba divining

 

From experience building two Coastal Offroad bumpers... Your working with 3/16 steel and in some places 1/4" - I didn't really pay attention to the welder you bought, but a 110 unit isn't up to that. I don't care what they tell you. Whats the duty cycle, because you have a LOT of welding to do and I suggest welding both sides for strength. Not saying don't, but make sure the tool is right for the job. The tacking things together is the fun part. Once it fits and is lined up the work begins... If you choose to accept this assignment-remember to have fun!

PS: neither one fit that great. Front one was WAY better than that rear I built.

 

Looks like up to 1/8" is what it will do.
That means I'll get to buy a better welder, when I get there.

I don't think it's deep enough for whales where I'm heading.

 

I really have no need for Florida:alligators and sharks. You can have it

 

More people are killed by cows than gators and sharks combined.

 

When did sharks become whales?

 

What is this world coming too, when plastic coolers are being recalled because of finger amputations??????????????????

 

C4 go boom

Is that the one I bought from you?

It was going to go on my daily .... But now the plans are changing.....

And hurricanes

 

The video @Pixeltim posted was a guy getting inhaled by a whale.

It's plenty deep for sharks where I kayak fish. I see them occasionally, and dolphins regularly.

 

I probably would've bought it then, had I known this thread was going to lead me to the point of needing to weld stuff.........Hooligans
