  1. Why did I see a bunch of SSS on my way to San Pedro to do my taxes? I saw you all in between the two bridges on Ocean blvd. Funny thing is I just came here to check in the other day and saw this thread. When I saw you guys, I remembered this thread.
  2. Ya, it wasn't really about beating an SS. It was more about making that guy feel like an @$$! I saw your thread about the hood. Seems like there is always drama huh? I'm glad you are happy with it. Everything's cool. Like I said, I haven't done a damn thing to the tundra besides fog lamps. I'm just driving and enjoying it. Most of the mod funds have went to the Harley this year with more to come next year. I saw you got your truck back. Hopefully it runs like you expect it to. That motor just plain looks sic! Oh ya, doctor told me I was borderline diabetic. Since then I've dropped a few pounds. Can't say exactly how much because I really don't care, but I look a whole lot different. Feeling good these days as well. Hope all is well with you and yours as well.
  3. Are you serious? WIth all that you have in your truck, you think it was going to give you a run for your money? Can you say apples to oranges? Ya, that was a fair race!
  4. Figured since I came back to tell a story, I might as well update this thread as I have done lots to it!!! Latest shots! Still got a bit more to do. On the BIG list for next year is: Extended bags and rear fender.
  5. Mostly everyone knows me here. I bought my '04 SSS brand new in '03. Since I sold my SSS to a fellow member, I've removed all my pics to post. I replaced my '04 SSS with a '10 Tundra with the 5.7 Here's the story......... Coming from the mall and saw a black SSS getting off the freeway driving like an @$$. You all know what I'm talking about. Weaving in and out of traffic, tailgating, etc. Well, he gets behind me to make a left turn. We turn left, no biggie. He passes me up still tailgating, blah, blah, blah. We get to a stop light together with no one in front of us and a dark open street with no lights for at least a half mile. I'm thinking this is the perfect time for me to test this truck out as I have always thought the Tundra was faster than my SSS. He's posted up at the crosswalk and I'm sitting a bit back. I'm lined up with his extra cab. I can tell he wants to run. The light turns green we both jam! We both leave at the same time. I really couldn't believe what I saw. I literally left him. He could not catch up and eventually just gave up and moved behind me. After a bit he moved to the other lane and did the usual speeding drive by. I was a bit in shock and happy at the same time. I have always thought my Tundra was faster than my SSS. Before anyone asks, "was he racing?", YES he was! I heard that damn motor almost wanting to explode as I passed him. My Tundra is bone stock with the exception of adding fog lights and just having the first 5K mile service done. That SSS looked stock as well. It had silver wheels, but otherwise, looked completely stock. It did have some type of exhaust though. I'm not knocking the SSS, but having owned both, I must say that my Tundra is faster. Maybe he couldn't drive, what ever. Either way I smoked his @$$! Remember, I used to own a SSS so relax on the stone throwing!!!!
  6. OK, it's clean as a whistle there. So that line that I touched should have been cold? Any ideas as to what could be the problem? Could it just need a charge? What puzzles me is that it just stopped all of a sudden. As for MR. P's response, I don't have that noise. Should I just take it in? Any thing I should check out?
  7. OK, maybe I thought I knew what I was talking about. Maybe it wasn't the condensor. The line I was touching is located on the passengers side near the dash in the engine compartment and I believe it was a large line. What is that round thing called? It was a line that looked like it was going into (maybe out, hell I don't know) that round canister thing. At the same time, while I was touching that line, I could hear a hiss that sounded like a leak at that connection. I put my hand over the connection and it sounded like the hissing got lower. I guess I should have turned the AC off to see if the hissing stopped. I can do that today if it would help. I did try to tighten it, but it wouldn't budge and I didn't want to mess anything up because it seemed like those connections were made out of aluminum. Hopefully that cleared things up. I can always take pics if need be. Any ideas?
  8. OK, so since the tube is getting cold, would that rule out that it's a freon problem? I can understand that it may be low, but if it's getting cold, there is some freon correct? I would check out that actuator, but I don't have a manual for this vehicle. Any ideas where it is?
  9. Hello all No I haven't purchased another SSS, but I do check out this site often. I'm having a problem with my wifes Yukon XL that maybe you guys can help me with. It basically has the same AC set up with the exception of a different rear control. Just recently it stopped blowing cold. It wasn't a gradual thing, it just happened one day. We just got back from a 7 day vacation and I just started to take a look at it today. I remember I had a problem with my SSS when I would disconnect the battery, it would blow hot. After a while or even after I re-disconneceted the battery and hooked it back up, it went back to blowing cold. Kind of wierd and of wonder if others have that problem. Anyways, in the Yukon, there are two different, actually three different controls. The front on the dash is for just the front. Above in the ceiling console is for the rear and right behind the center floor console there is another control for the rear. When the front stopped blowing cold, I would turn the rear on with the overhead console (with the front on as well) and it would blow cold in the front and the rear. I know, wierd right? Now it all doesn't blow cold at all no matter what I do. I've turned on the AC while the truck is on and I can hear the compressor turn on. I've touched one of the tubes at the condensor and it's cold. It doesn't build up any frost, but it's cold. I haven't looked under the truck to see if there is any water dripping while it's on, but I would assume there is no drip because I would have noticed it. Now it is possible that it needs recharging since it's a 2006 and I have no idea if it's been serviced. We've had it since October of '07. It was basically brand new and had something like 24K miles on the odometer. It used to blow real, real cold. All of a sudden it stopped. I did disconnect the battery today to see if I could produce the same results as my SSS. The first time I did it and reconnected it, it blew HOT. Like the heater was on, but the temp said 60*. That's the same result I got with my SSS back in the day. I disconnected and reconnected it again and it blew HOT for a while, but went back to ambient temp. No cold air what so ever. I stopped after that and figure I would try here first before taking it in. Any tips or tricks I can try before I take it in? This forum has provided me with alot of useful info and hopefully you guys can come through again. TIA!
  10. Looked better with the other rims! Did you sell the intros?
  11. Bout time! I don't miss mine at all! I'm loving my Tundra.
  12. WOW, never even thought about entering it in a show. Truck looks real good!
  13. Sell the damn thing already!!!
  14. Looks like we are all trying to get rid of it!!!
  15. I'm not worried about it. Toyota has been at the top of the new vehicle market for a long time and just because of a few incidents, everyone is soo quick to bad mouth them. I could care less because I know Toyota will stand behind their product. That's fu*king right!!!
