so I kinda abused my ride last weekend......

Hydro-locked the motor on the Whipsaw Trail. Still waiting to get my truck back home.

and finally got an aftermarket bumper, I couldn't pass up the deal for the price. Not going to mention the name though.

How bad just in jested dome water and need to pull the plugs or did you try to restart it after it died.

Wouldn't it be great to have a compression release for those moments!!!?

Yeah id PM Jason(thekidcatcher). Apparently I've read that the instructions suck and people mix up the wires all the time. Jason's installed one on his truck already.

Also removed a 4 year old pinstripe on my truck, that was fun.... Finished the whole body and looked a lot better.

I can't believe dealers still "pack" buyers with pinstripes!!! :( The bright side: easier to remove than trailstripes!!! lol

They look ridiculous on the Tacoma IMHO. Rob and Michael helped me peel mine off in about 30min

Yeah, and then Rob and I took mine off my truck. I just couldn't believe how much better the truck looks without pinstripes.

Changed the oil, filter, and took my rims and tires to discount to get balanced. And I rotated them when I got home. Waiting until wednesday to go get an alignment from Firestone. Its freaking hot! The banks temp gauge said a 106 degrees!!!

I got a Scepter gas can recently with no nozzle. I quickly found out folks are asking for an arm and a leg for the nozzles...fuck that..a bit of forum research and a trip to lowes and about $8 dollars later, I have a nice solution. As Sean calls it, fresh it the paint booth-flat black. Ran about a fashion through it, works great, no leaks at alll.Just posting in case no one has seen this

No, on this site? I planned on carrying it in the 40mm can

It was on Expo. Basically it was a large threaded reducer with a smaller diameter piece of 12" long pipe on it and then a threaded end with a cap on it. The top reducer has a threaded cap on top. I just looked and I didn't find it though. But its basically the following 5 pieces of PVC from Home Depot.

3" cap
3" to 1.5" reducer
12" of 1.5" PVC pipe
1.5" end with threads for 1"
1" threaded cap

Ammo can would work too.. just a little messier.

Nice stuff there!!!

For this old man, I still like the shaker siphon. I don't have to move the gas can and no spillage. The only thing better would be a switch on the dash! :D

2x that can is much heavier than I wanna pick up and hold while refueling

I agree. the shaker siphon is awesome. Best $10 (for 2) that I spent.
