Toyomafia - The Clubhouse. 151.880

FJ all day.

 

It would kill it on the trails out here!

 

I miss mine bad. So effortless even with its 200hp.

 

I’ve been looking for one. Very, very passively. I’ll probably end up getting a SxS instead.

 

So I kinda specifically searched for a 2wd 4runner, because I knew I’d probably get myself in trouble with a 4wd. But I’ve impressed and been impressed with where a one wheel peel can take you with aired down tires.

 

As a SxS owner, AC and heat is pretty f-ing awesome - especially here.

 

Which is why I like wheeling in my tundra lol

 

SxS is great like 3-4 months a year - sunroof weather.

 

All our neighbors have them and cruise the neighborhood all year long. 10 minute rides to restaurants or school drop off/pickup would be fun, until it gets hot AF

 

It’s all good until that 1000cc engine you’re sitting on gets hot. Swamp ass / back sweat is real.

 

1k elitist….

 

Ha. Always someone’s feelings getting hurt.

 

Haters gonna hate.
Hahaha your rig is smooth and quiet AF, I was thoroughly impressed as I got it up to 6-7mph, in Sedona!!!
My moms RZR is kinda clunky and noisy AF, I’ve definitely put it thru it’s paces, it still works for what she “uses” it for. But I bet if she tested yours out, she’d get a 4seater(for the boys)

 

it begins!

 

Check back in a few hours, let us know how the trip is

 

It is really wonderful to be able to wander around in the woods and return home with gourmet food!

 

A question for the Crew…how much should a full brake job run on a Tundra, rotors, pads, flush and fill? Just curious to see if people in NC have lost their collective minds. And yes I can do it myself cheaper but one if I do it at work to use bay space. Would like to involve the potential aggravation factor of nosey bosses.

TIA

 

I'm gonna guess you were quoted $600-$800???

 

Porn-hub?

 

Double the 600 and add 100

That’s just one quote so far

 

Ok, on to the lighter side of life...

I think I found a candid photo online that @GODZILLA posted of himself and Stella:

 

Sorry, photo diddn't paste properly see below (or I guess scroll back up). I had to delete and re-post!!!!

 

WTF...$1300 nuts...I would take the nosey bosses

 

Yikes… I have a buddy that was quoted $600 and change for front rotors, pads and labor (didn't include flush); but yes, $1300 is freakin' silly!!!!

 

Crazy.

 

You may do better to source some OEM Toyota parts yourself and find a reputable shop to do the labor…. EX>> I did rotors, pads, etc. on my '08 a few months ago, and got OE rotors, pads and hardware for under $300… I'd imagine a shop would hit your 3hrs labor + or - @ about $130-$150/hr, so that should put you under $800

 

My coworker just replaced his wife's jeeps rear rotors and pads and it cost him $750

 

This

 

I changed my wife's van's rotors and brake pads last year. Took about 1.5 hours with my pops. Had 60k Mike's, so nothing was seized up. I think tundra would be the same. I'd venture to say to do it at home if possible. Simple lift up front end barely off the ground and you're set

 

So check out this piece of steel.
1 1/2” x 1 1/2” x 8” long.
Doesn’t look like much, does it?

but, this picture is of a little slice that I cut off of one end. I polished and etched it to see the pattern…
