The 5 guys who BS on the forum BS Thread

Currently enjoying a cool drink of water.

Take that, California! HA!


On a more serious note, sounds pretty serious over there. Showering every other day now Sam? Or are the restrictions just for SoCal? I know the Sierra's did not get nearly the amount of snow and subsequent snow melt this year. @LTDSC

 

so many parts purchases lined up in the near future. need to accumulate moneys


hey @TravRunner what lug nuts did the level 8's use, acorns?

 

Thanks man!

 

nothing too crazy yet on restrictions. In my county there isnt any kind of restrictions. I guess statewide if it rains you can get fined for watering your lawns within 48 hours. I know Sacramento have certain days you can water and for only so long. The lakes are stupid low, its kinda scary seeing that but then you come home and the grass is green in the neighborhood and people are washing cars.

I went to a rinse free wash so i couldnt get fined if some do-gooding neighbor wants to report my ass. We got 4-6" snow Saturday but thats already gone.

 

Already got a call back for a sales position at a contractor supply company. Woot!

 

New head unit showed up today, and I shipped out a bunch of interior pieces to be hydro dipped

 

i need more moneyssss

I really can't believe it has gotten so low. The pictures are incredible. You would think observations throughout the winter would have indicated that restrictions would have needed to be in place long before the levels got so dire. Either way it's a terrible situation. Hopefully some rain comes through sunny california.

Hell yeah!

What head unit did you get?

 

Got a pioneer AVH-4700bs. Installing it right now

Got my FJ Fob

 

So, I hate cables. I HATE cables, so I figured I'd hide the USB cable for my new HU.

Pulled out that cool little storage bin in my dash, cut a hole that the male side of the USB cable fit through but female did not. Then lined with adhesive weatherstripping to reduce noise and prevent the cable from moving.

I'm happy with the outcome!

 

Finally finished up my install after carefully soldering, shrink wrapping, and taping up my wires. 400x better than my previous install.



Got the HU up and running


Sam would be proud of my wire organization

 

Looks good, fairly similar to what I want to do with mine once I get back to the states.

 

Yeah but beneath the HVAC

 

i really need to swap my springs and change my oil this weekend. bleh Should have new links next weekend though.

 

sway bar links or 4 links?

 

4 link

 

debating removing the sway. i think its links are popping

CaliFab, were exchanging links for a detail on his shop truck.

Rear, my fronts been off for a long time.

 

I need extended rear links...

Gonna be lifting the rear soon. I'd do it this weekend, but I'll be BUSY lol

 

Woot!!

 

I'm doing the nathana92 links in a week or so

 

ahh another paycheck that might as well be a kick in the balls.

last day on friday. thank god.

 

That's my paycheck every week...

 

that's how it's been for me since january. thank god for my tax return or i would have been belly up a long time ago.

 

I'm at that point where I'm like... "Do I REALLY want this snorkel...?"

 

i'll be doing that soon as well.... the snorkel just keeps sitting in the back of the truck LOL

 

Any of you guys know anything about LS430's? Know of anything I should check out? Looking at one and everything cosmetic and mechanic seems fine, nothing is leaking, just desperately needs a tune up.

 

my buddy had weird alternator issues. otherwise no issues.

 

Cool thanks Sam. Seems to be easy enough to get up and running reliably. There's a weird rumbling noise coming from the driver side wheel though.

 

Sooo this happened
