What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Have it a bath getting ready for a short trip to Galveston
Sad thing is it is going to rain tomorrow now

 

Roger that.. I'm gonna give it hell.

 

The wire kit should have a diagram showing what wire is what and so should the switch.

 

Those are pretty slick.

 

It seems like a respectable company so I am hoping it comes with one.

 

They also make a some "racks" that attach to bed rails but cover the whole interior beside and/or front part of the bed. Pretty cool stuff.

 

Me too man. $1179 for annual town property tax. Sucks big time

 

@Sas @Baja Mike

 

That's awesome being able to do that.. If you wander around here you'll end up in the ghetto.

 

and im complaining about $480 tabs for the tundra

 

Im getting panels made like that for my bed rack.

 

To be fair - it was sales tax on my new truck, not property tax. We don’t usually roll sales tax into loans around here.

 

Yeah I have yearly property tax on my truck sucks. The assessed value obviously goes down yearly but we have a mil rate of 45 here. My house is about $7k a year and I have a small house in a not so great town. It really blows here in CT

Sales tax does get lumped into the care loan, but maybe it can be paid separately. Would actually be a good question to have asked when I bought the truck lol.

 

@Pudge That was another one of the few reasons that I moved back to Texas in Dec 2013 after living in CT for 19 years.

 

Yeah man it's tough here. Property tax on the cars really kills me. I mean I pay basically $100 @ month for car tax, every year, forever. even after its paid off. If it weren't for my family all being here, I'd move. That and I cant move my daughter out of state without her mothers permission, which she would never give even though she only has her 1 day a week and every other weekend

 

My property tax on my Tundra this year was $342. My house is $600 a year.

 

Being trapped sucks. The wife is a CT Native but even she saw the writing on the wall back in early 2013 after that Nor'easter in Feb. We both miss things up there but we're doing so much better here in Texas. We make our yearly trip up there in 24 days for good pizza (Manny's in Norwich), seafood/lobster, and Chinese takeout (King Wah in Norwich). She'll get to visit with her Dad. I'll have to say hello to my mother-in-law. I'll go down to the Submarine Museum/Library and pick me up a SubVet license plate thing for my new truck. Probably go to Venda Ravioli in Providence for some olives and such.
It pisses us off to no end that (insert political rant here) basically forced us to move along with a shitty manager and too much snow.

 

Just finished blacking out the emblems and installing the tailgate insert...looks much better imo...

 

FML

 

That's nice and all but the front of the bed isn't an option for what I need.




I'd like to relocate the fire extinguisher further back and upright while mounting a car jack horizontally on those mounts.

 

Its super expensive and really in a financial rut right now. New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Rhode island would be better choices in new England Massachusetts is similar to CT

 

Move to NY.....I'm paying $12k in property and school taxes. $35.00 a month for garbage removal. I have my own well and septic. Volunteer Fire and Ambulance. 20 person Police Department. Oil for heat no natural gas.

What the heck do I get for my money.

I can't wait to go south! 3 more years.

 

Rust is a major issue. I use fluid film every fall and that helps a little. POR15 would be the cure though.
Taxes are just killer here. Everything is expensive, especially shoreline towns. I have to say even though the cost of living sucks, it's beautiful here and all the old towns are really cool. I grew up in a house built in the 1700s, that's pretty cool. New England certainly has some charm. I just dont like being taxed a grand a year to own a truck, oh and registration fees for a truck are 50% more than a car or SUV.

 

Yesterday.... drilled out spare tire guides and was able to mount my 285/75/18 on a Method Grid under the bed. Nice peace of mind having a full matching spare under there now.

 

Ya I’m running the total chaos shackles. It was tight, but everything clears I’d say 285/75/18 is as big as I’d try to fit under there.

 

Yup we’re very similar in size.

 

That's about what mine were.

 

I got the Retrax powertrax installed today at 4wheelparts... could not be happier with that decision
