    Moving to the Rogue Valley and needing friends / Cruiser shop recommendations

    Pro Service Center on court street. Just ask them if this rig is in their wheelhouse and they’ll let you know.

    Over spray much? I want a 40 but not that much. Would rather have a well used one for less.

    The motor that he had installed has 3,500 miles since the install which includes the 200 mile drive after it was installed a year ago. He needs to get the company to replace it.

    I read the warranty. Original owner is covered. I am having him collect his install and Maint records to present to the warranty company. If I have to tow it up to the shop who did the work I will. Fairly certain a running '97 450lx is worth far more than non running.

    Good question. I'll ask him. He said the shop that installed the engine is in Newburg because that is where the HG blew. I have asked him to check with the warranty company to see if a local shop can diagnose. I'll update when he replies.

    Best of luck with the move from a MT native. As you may know, Asante has been going through a lot of changes recently. Quite the uproar. We have many friends who work there or used to. So OR is a great place if you can put the political bs being shoved down our throats from the North. I try to...

    Morning strangers. Been a while! My friend Mike with the ‘97 80 is dealing with some serious issues. Besides the fact that both he and his wife have serious cancer, his 80 engine blew yesterday. The engine has a warranty, reman, but he has to have it diagnosed before they will pay out. He is...

    Engine borked, thanks Lithia

    Stock share must be tanking due to this! Yes, big dealer who is trying to stonewall me. I want nothing other than my truck back. They broke it so they should stand behind their work. Funny thing is I coached the president of the companies son. I am tempted to call him and ask him to tell his...

    Engine borked, thanks Lithia

    So my dream truck, 2014 Tundra Crewmax TRD, blew the head gasket at 130,000 miles. Lithia had been the only shop to touch the motor so I stuck with them for the HG job and had both HG’s replaced. Got the truck back and thought I was gtg. But, 50290 miles later the HG blew on the other side of...

    10x10 Kodiak Canvas Deluxe - first impressions

    We have the 12x15 “cabin“ with an enclosure. That tent has seen some good duty including a fly in back country hunt where everything froze solid. The best thing is canvas doesn’t get hot on early season hunts. Canvas tents rock!

    What is a good outdoor watch?

    I have an instinct and my previous watch was a Suunto Core. The gps feature on my Instinct watch never gets used. As an outdoor watch it is good and the battery life is great. I think the Core did everything I ever needed with a better user interface. With that said my Instinct is on my wrist...

    Fridge Help: National Luna or Engel

    I had an engel years ago and it worked perfectly. Used it for traveling and carrying frozen goods. Was a real treat to pull ice cream out for the kids after a 6 hour grind on the road. I am not familiar with the Luna product. Good luck!

    2014 Tundra with ARB? Before and after pictures included now.

    With a month of driving on the new lift here are my comments: Ride is exponentially better than the TRD suspension was even new. The best way to describe it is very connected to the road. I have driven this quite a bit in one of the orchards which have rough to almost non existent roads. Even...

    2014 Tundra with ARB? Before and after pictures included now.

    I installed the SPC UCA’s with their supplied ball joint. I slid the ball join out as far as possible for clearance and the alignment shop aligned with the LCA adjustment points. Drives like a charm.
