Toyomafia - The Clubhouse. Balls and Burgers Summer 2025

Speaking of 4R's...

 

That truck needs smaller wheels. Not enough sidewall.

 

Did you forget I LIVE in Florida Air down to "Beach it"

Those tires are 50% fatter than half of those mounted on 1 tons down here PLUS those wheels DO NOT have pretty lights "Going round & round"

Like I said I am 60 years young, not 20ish like some of you

 

(Disclaimer, I had to pay a third world country crowdsource for this protest image. Damn Canadians.)

 

That $hit can stay on the "Left coast"

Try climbing the "Notch" in -20 degrees with a load of salt or home heating oil with electric....

Oil burners are here forever , folks just can't handle the TRUTH..

 

I'm not just speaking toward function, but aesthetics.

 

I’d say 5k isnt crazy given the price of things today. Do you know if that 5k includes sending the head out to a machine shop to have it checked/machined (if needed)? Or is that just a crack open, re-seal and close back up? When I had mine done a couple years ago it was $4500 but included sending out the head ($50 covered under warranty). They reused all the old parts, although I wish I had them check the timing chain tensioners because now I’m dealing with the dreaded driver side tensioner clack. Anyway, just my experience, take it for what you will.

 

When the OEM's wear out , Michelin LTX M/S will be there for the next 60-70K ....Yes ,that means back too Yota wheels..

 

@GODZILLA ,

If I had your $$$ , this might be an option .... Certified so not quite the Big $ting , still 70K



And it has that hidden step for those of us not 6' tall

 

Shit, 70K is way too much for my income. No thank you.

 

My Platinum has the dark chrome on the grill. While not ideal, and I’ll eventually change it, it’s not as offensive as the straight chrome.

 

Too bad they didn't do the mustache in the same colour.

 

Okay (and I’m not just saying this to avoid a knife-fight), but that dark chrome looks pretty damn good.

 

It’s actually dark chrome also. It doesn’t stand out as much as others do.

 

It’s not terrible but I’d definitely prefer it be black. I actually have a Pro grill for it in the garage. I haven’t installed it yet since I don’t have the lights or all the other crap necessary to add them. I’ve seen some installed without the lights and it doesn’t look right with the holes empty.
Once I get around to researching all that is involved in that I’ll round it all up and replace the grill surround at the same time.

 

Here’s a nice internal pic of my shoulder, had a follow up with the Dr and I got to watch an abbreviated video of the procedure

 

Damn, that stuff is shredded.

 

Before I read what he wrote I thought it was a new planet photo that Hubble had taken.

 

Yup, the round camera image definitely makes it look like that.

 

looks like mine did....

 

Since we

That's gnarly..

My x-rays from Monday;
One shoulder is to be replaced in September of this year, the other in September of next year.

A normal shoulder..



My shoulders...
Cartilage is gone.
The ball is getting flattened out and grinding bone on bone now..

 

They need to get that fiberglass insulation out of there.

 

Back to reality tomorrow…

 

And if anyone finds themselves in the Montego Bay Airport Margaritaville… look for my slap!

 

Reality is overrated. 2/10 would not recommend.

 

That's nice.
We got married on the beach in Negril in 2007..

 

Good eye, that’s where that is, Negril. My wife’s family has been going for years before she was born.

 

@GODZILLA , I tried to get AI to do a picture of Godzilla driving a Solar Octane Tacoma Pro in Wyoming. I guess Godzilla is too big for the truck... Not sure what is up with the "Toyota".

 

Nice!

AI is pretty retarded with lettering. They botch it all the time.
