  1. You're gonna trade an SI for a Hun-die AND have a car payment?
  2. Yep. When my mom and dad got divorced in 76, they fought over our 72 Vette. The judge told my dad he could keep it but he had to buy my mom a car. He was awful proud of himself when he rolled up in the driveway in that brand new Gremlin X. That is until my mom said, "If you think I'm going to drive that piece of shit, you're stupid!" He took it back and bought her a Corolla. That Gremlin did fly. Rattled like a bucket of bolts the whole time.
  3. I moved mine with a furniture dolly. Just pick up one end and have someone put the dolly right in the middle at the balance point. Works like a charm.
  4. If I brought home some axles and chucked them in the yard I'd be divorced. Try CL too. There is a guy in Marion who used to buy up all the Yota stuf he could get his hands on. I think you know who I'm talking about.
  5. Wow! Wish I had the room, Id pick them up just in case. Try Yotatech.com or ToyotaNation.
  6. His truck is on blocks in the background.
  7. The bearings came right out with the help of a $140 bearing puller kit and some hillbilly ingenuity. I still gotta return the puller kit. Oh yeah, I had to order a new brake rotor since I knocked the axle assembly off the milk crate I had it on. If you ever pull an axle on one of these things, dont reassemble it with the disc on it and sit it on any thing it can fall off of.
  8. Eh, whatever. Rangers suck.
  9. Wow, they havent had any problems with their 2 year old truck? I guess thats a strong argument for the greatness of Fords.
  10. They made 4x4 tacomas with the 2.4 4 cyl., but they are rare. One of my friends put 200k on a 96 that he special ordered. It still ran fine when he sold it and he beat it to death. Our 02 Runner averages 20mpg with the 3.4. You dont want the 3.0. It was only put in the 89-95 trucks (pre-Tacoma) and it got shitty mileage and had head gasket problems (which Toyota will still replace for free under a recall from 10 years ago). I had a couple old Runners with that motor and it was only good for about 160 hp and got around 16mpg. I've seen them with 300k however.
  11. I shoulda put one of those on a few years ago. My vents are all busted up (weird since i've never dropped it) and I'm stepping up to a Shoei this Christmas. I've heard those help though.
  12. Dude, get the taco. I've owned both and the Tacoma is heads and tails above the Ranger. Its worth the extra monies. Get a manual extracab 4x4 and take care of it, keep it maintained and it will treat you well. I've had mine for 8 years and will probably drive it for another 8 or more.
  13. It was his pride and joy. He guarded McArthur in Japan after the war and carried one along with a machine gun. This is about the lowest thing a family member could do to him. Real fucked up deal.
  14. The house has been turned upside down and its gone. It was always kept in the same place, within easy reach.

    Stolen 1911

    My grandfather brought back his service weapon from WWII and has used it as his home defense weapon ever since. It was discovered missing Thursday, but could have been missing for longer. It was last seen in August. The Gun: Colt 1911 .45 Ser # 459xxx U.S. GOVERNMENT PROPERTY stamped on the side. It was most likely taken by a troubled family member and sold for drug money in the Columbus area, but that is speculation. It could be any where by now. If approached to buy a WWII era 1911, please contact me, or the FAIRFIELD COUNTY Sheriffs office. As you can imagine, there is extreme sentimental value here. There is a reward for its safe return. Please spread the word. Stock photo, but looks like this:
  16. Either way its stupid that people get shot over it. It is a naturally growing plant. Best wishes to the deputy. I hope he recovers to continue doing his job as thats all he was doing when the guy opened fire on him.
  17. Those are going to kill the gas mileage of the Bird.
  18. I have an EXO-400 and the big issue with mine is that the shield doesnt seal which lets lots of air get pulled through the bottom. The loop has nothing to do with it, at least in my case.
