Oh wow... Maybe you have something else going on that's eating them, eh bud?

Hmmmm.... I have had a bad one right off the shelf... But that's unusual for a STORE THAT ONLY SELLS THAT STUFF! lol. (Online or not)... Still, take it out, take it in and have it tested(BTW, if you have AAA, no need to take it out... they can load test it right in the rig and give you a print out )

Nice truck

I just bought an 86 22r on 33's myself it's my first toyota and I have no idea were to begin on reaparing the many Jerry riggings that were done it has a small oil leak from the timing cover or gasket and it burns some oil out the pipe not sure bout either. I payed 1,000 for the truck, an extra transmission, 2extra doors,15" kicker sub, 2 amps, and a kenwood cd player body's in great condition tires to it's got a 94 tranny in it tho I just need some guidance on working on it

Ticks me off that they send stuff that's not test-proven working before put in the box! GRRR! lol. Sounds like good customer service after the fact though

thanks guys, no college, actually moving to the city with my gf and gonna get a mechanic job and in a few years go to a mechanic school. but with the hectic weekend i did manage to get a few things done, fixed my passenger headlight, straightened my core support, cut it, painted the whole core support black, and fastened my grill down completely. i also bought a brand new cobra 25lx anniversary edition and a dual whip setup. had to cut my shiufter and bend it back so it wouldnt hit my cb going into 1st, 3rd, and 5th. really like this cb, and the screen color can be changed to blue!

Congratulations on graduating! Sounds like you have a good job lined up! Tuck looks sweet, I like the light bar, and the CB, I especially want to get one of those! Keep up the good work!
