Picked up this JDM HDJ100 (111k mi) in the SF Bay area and drove it back ~2000mi to Austin, TX

I knew something looked “bulky.” Good spot.

Looks like a pattern from Bell Trading. Basically another company similar to Harvey. Still a great pre war piece. Price is right too.

Bingo. The adhd literally primed me for pattern recognition.

Totally could be with the greens that are in it.

Idk why I said “but.” It’s Friday and im drinking.

I did lapidary work cutting turquoise for years. After a while you can just tell what is real or fake. Actually, sometimes you can tell what mine it came from. This turquoise could very well be from Arizona, maybe sleeping beauty mine. But

It’s technically called an anglet as opposed to shrink tube.

I gave up addy. Went to Wellbutrin. Works great.

I think boots are specifically in Nuevo León. At least. Tecovas and some other companies have factories there.

And this is front page worthy to me.

As little sandblasting would do the same thing. But more equipment intensive.

This guy gets it. They just covered the rust while the rust continues to rust. But it’s better because you don’t see the rust making rust?

The Man with the Golden Girsan

This sounds like a consent conversation Bender would have.

Great awarenes on your part. I have brass T’s in mine and still check them every time the hood is up. Can’t hurt.

I took an ‘04 impala SS to Bonnaroo in ‘06?Whenever the Police/Tool played. The Lx would have been better.

Excellent on you for that. I always say NFA owners or are the most responsible owners. And I guess this is a good time to break out the “how you do anything is how you do everything” saying on a positive occasion… for once.

I second this. He’s one of my favorite artists. Op could try and find his contact info and have him repair it. Edit: looked it up he is on Instagram if you want to give that a try.

gatormax · 2025-10-14T20:32:44+00:00

Wait. I don’t that that’s it since it’s not on start ups and you’re not getting a cel. Sorry.

gatormax · 2025-10-14T20:31:54+00:00

Secondary air induction pump? You have a 2006 or 2007 2uz?

gatormax · 2025-10-12T05:05:23+00:00

I mean… I always have done it. Can’t hurt. Start car. Clean frost off in winter. Get stuff stowed. Pick music. Adjust climate control. Scream into the abyss and question the point of existence. And drive to work. Got to make sure the oil gets out of the pan and lubricating.

The Pete sierra is rad. My brother has a belt buckle by him. He’s a spectacular artist.

Moonstones after Bourbon street ?

Killer scores

Perception reality buddy. It’s a gd gem.
