    I Miss This Place!

    I got out of FB in Sept 2014, and haven't looked back. Plenty of better things I could be doing with my time, than looking at everyone's "3 B's" (bragging, bitching, and brats). Plus I don't base the success or happiness of my life on "likes". Too old now to care what anyone else thinks. But...

    RADwood Car Show In LA 12/2/2018

    A buddy of mine was telling me about this car show, called RADwood. It's basically a car show that gives recognition to all the cool cars from the 80's and 90's that people either don't care about, didn't know about, or forgot about. But you'll still see stuff like DeLoreans, Testarossas, IROCs...

    stock Typhoon leafs

    really? you don't find them too bouncy? at ride height my springs are practically flat with no curve at all. When I go over bumps it feels like the springs are bending backwards. The shocks don't really make a difference with this either. I have the Viking adjustable shocks and if I make them...

    Loud Clunk When Selecting Drive and Reverse

    Might sound silly... but jack the truck up and make sure all the bolts that mount the trans to the block are there. Mine didn't exactly clunk when going into gear, but from a stop in fwd or reverse it would make a clunking noise and then go away once I got up to speed. Turned out 3 bolts were...

    Amazon performance chips

    I second the above statement... I'd have my reservations about buying a chip from Amazon if it's not someone from the community here that I feel KNOWS the trucks. Check out the turbo tweak chips or the STG Ultimate chip.... that is if they're still around? It's been well over a decade since I...

    I was just going to post an update to that thread... It's been a while since I did it, but I remember it was a bitch to get them in there. Mount up the end toward the front of the truck first and then get the u-bolts on. Don't tighten them all the way up though. You're using them to basically...

    What happened?

    I agree with many of the comments in the previous posts... I don't really think the lack of updating the forum had anything to do with people leaving though. I mean the site still worked and search worked... I think knowledgeable people leaving is what hurt most. I'm not one to dig into people's...

    Daughters First Ty???

    Re: Daughters First Ty??? Gotta use those side mirrors! When I back into the driveway, I always use the side mirrors and line up the side of the car about 6" in from the edge of the garage door and correct accordingly as I'm backing in. Parking spaces can be a lil more tricky if you don't have...

    Daughters First Ty???

    Re: Daughters First Ty??? I'd have to agree with just about all of the previous sentiments... I wouldn't wish these trucks on anyone, especially a family member or any of my unborn children!:lol: I think back to my teen years and just barely scraping by to keep gas in the tank of my POS first...

    Tiny paint flaws=tiny crows feet?

    Re: Tiny paint flaws=tiny crows feet? Thanks for the responses guys. I went by a local detail shop today who also confirmed what you guys said. Bummer! I'll just buff it out the best I can and live with it. Far better things I'd rather waste 5-6k on than a paint job.

    Tiny paint flaws=tiny crows feet?

    Giving the Ty a much needed buff yesterday when I noticed this all over the hood. The biggest marks are only about a millimeter which seems pretty small to be crows feet, no?. I went over one little section multiple times with rubbing compound and there was no difference in the marks. I...

    Under the hood insulation?

    Re: Under the hood insulation? Hahaha it's gotta be a prerequisite to get hired as a parts guy these days! Pathetically, I have the VIN of my Ty memorized. A woman at AAA told me in 23 years of doing car insurance she's never had anyone recite a VIN number off the top of their head without...
