    Tacoma Drivers

    Would this be a good time to mention that I will be selling my son's 2003 Tacoma soon? ;)

    Tacoma Drivers

    I bought the tool for the filter and solved the nosedive issue with a set of Toyota FJ coil overs. Made a world of difference. Gets about 14-15 mpg but she doesn't drive much so that isn't really a concern for us.

    Tacoma Drivers

    I love the yellow LED fogs and Raptor grill lights running down the freeway with full overlanding gear, commuting to work at 80 mph. Can't lie though, my son has a 2003 crew cab pre runner and my wife loves her 2012 4Runner. She talked about getting a new one, but they haven't changed anything...

    Vehicle Wraps - SoCal/San Diego

    All depends on how you take care of it. If you leave it outside cooking in the sun, I think you'll get 3-5 years before needing to replace the wrap. Cheap paint jobs usually come down to the prep work, paint will peel where they tape off around things like windows and door handles. I think a...

    Vehicle Wraps - SoCal/San Diego

    Not cheap. I got 2 quotes for some graphics on a sand car. Both were well over $2,000. There's more to a car so I'm sure it will cost more.

    New Truck?

    Update: Appears the Hemi dropped a valve seat causing the valve to bend and stick open until the piston closed it. Rather than mess with it, I opted for a new ATK engine with a 4 year warranty. My mechanic who I've known since 5th grade, gave me his cost on the engine so overall, not a bad...

    New Truck?

    Okay.... So long story short, I'm looking at new Ram 2500's. What is the latest word on registering said truck at "my" address in Bullhead? Tricky part is going to be having a loan on the vehicle is my guess. I know....RDP members only pay cash for everything, but I can't pull that off. Any...

    New Truck?

    Truck is clean and still the nicest truck I have ever owned. Bought it used in 2020 with 38,000 miles on it. Only issue it has ever had is the manifolds and I had to replace the water pump. Always serviced, and tows great for a 1500. Definitely a tough call. Fix it and keep it knowing that...

    New Truck?

    Wife and I looked at the GMC 2500 AT4. Truck is really nice and available in her favorite color. BUT.... she really likes the mega cab in the Ram. I've had Rams for over 20 years now and have been overall happy with them. Only truck I would really consider changing to is the GMC. IMO, none of...

    New Truck?

    2017 Ram 1500. Did the exhaust manifolds at 80k miles. They are do again now at 155k but I've been holding out. The real Hemi issue is the lifters. The stupid multi displacement crap causes premature failure. I have somehow managed to avoid that for a long time, but it finally happened. Getting...

    New Truck?

    Well, my Hemi just pulled a Hemi this morning. Considering a new Ram 2500 again. Any Ram salesmen members in So Cal?

    Off Season Upgrades/Repairs

    Was planning on the Whipple stage 3 for the Shockwave but the desert toy is kicking my wallets ass! We will see how things go.

    RDP San Felipe 2024!!

    John/Cari and Mike/Shawna are some of my favorite people. I don't get to see them enough these days... John is one of the best at Baja fixes. He and my BIL have pulled off some shit to get everyone back to camp. @RiverDave you're in good hands with that crew.

    Parents spot kids in 7-Eleven robbery footage, turn them in to police

    Well, if my kid somehow managed to get involved in something like this after being raised better than that.... Yep! Dumb shit deserves to be in jail. However, I can say with almost 100% certainty, my kids would not be a part of this kind of shit.

    Random advise for the younger guys...

    Work: 1. No matter where you work, or who you work for, you have to represent YOU. Your name and reputation will follow you throughout your career. 2. "I" may fuck something up, but when it's right, "WE" got it right. 3. Never be too proud to clean up the work space. I'm the foreman at our...

    Any Car Stereo Guru's on Here? . . . I've got a gremlin.

    Sounds like an electronic glitch. The amp in the head unit may not have been getting a signal to turn on for some reason. I've had a few stereos just decide not to turn on before with no explanation why. After diving into everything and confirming nothing had come loose, I disconnect the power...

    Tow service on Lake Elsinore.

    Were you out there this morning? I heard someone ripping around this morning while I was working in the rv.

    Dumont Halloween

    Right on. There's no way I will go out there without a group that has already been. I'll just have to tag along on a trip with friends.

    Dumont Halloween

    I have a few high desert friends that go out there. I was thinking about running up there with them some time. I looked at the map on the google, and was like, hmm? I wouldn't even know where to set up camp. LOL!

    CCW - LA County

    Just kind of a blanket statement. I hope to never have to use my firearm. I'll just leave it at that.
