NJ B.S. Thread

Yep, next thing I have planned for it is new tires, they look fine and no dry rot from being garaged but they are dated 2011. And when I do that, im going to fix a couple small scrapes on the wheels from the couple times my mom actually drove it, and have them re-powdercoated. Im hoping I can find a prismatic powder color that comes really close to the factory finish wich is almost like a graphite/black chrome color

 

BMW wheel color codes are difficult to replicate. I HIGHLY recommend going to a place that has a full sample size from prismatic and hold the swatch up to the wheel. I do believe Need powdercoating in Newark has a good amount of swatches. We have used them with great success in the past with some projects.

 

Yeah I remember looking through colors in the past trying to find something close and it was really hard to find a close match. I usually use PC powdercoating in Pittsgrove. Every single time I bring them something, they quote me a very reasonable price and when I pick it up, its somehow even cheaper then their cheap quote so cant beat it lol

 

Mernin NJ folk, having a mod/meet day/night at my shop tomorrow, DM if interested. Down in south jersey for all you New yorkers that call yourselves NJ residents, so far we have @HomerTaco @V5ioV @planters15 @Chris(NJ) and maybe a few more I forget screen names these days

 

LOL! I will be attending one of these in the future if you keep doing it! Central Jersey born and raised here, Living amongst the bennies...

 

Where and when? Maybe I'll stop by and do the boot slide mod that I've been putting off for too long lol

 

Where abouts are you.

 

Waldwick, just north of Paramus. Grew up in the Red Bank area.

 

might shoot down for late afternoon. Somehow between when we talked and now shit got added to my schedule.

 

Lol the easiest mod besides the diff breather.

 

What exactly is the boot slide mod?

 

Ahh gotcha I believe you did tell me that awhile ago. My memory is trash

 

I know. It's just a matter of making myself sit down and do it.

It's for those of us playing loose and dangerous with high CV angles. It helps prevent the boot (rubber casing on the CV) from wearing and eventually tearing.

 

sweet, yeah I try and host one quarterly but usually pushed to every 4-5 months.

DM me and I can give you my address, zip is 08302

 

excellent thanks! Im actually right in sewell.

 

Remove the clamps on the small end of the cv boots and replace with hose clamps and pull the boots out and tighten down the clamp. Holds the boots so the fins aren’t rubbing together.

 

FREE - 3rd gen OEM mud flaps. Good condition, came from stock truck with 40K. No hardware, just all 4 plastic flaps. Useful if you need a oem refresh or add to base trim. Pickup in central NJ / Jackson area.

 

Stopped in to see if people are bitching about the 4th gens like they did the 3rd gens when they were new.

 

hows the gx treating you? i picked one up last week

 

Ugh!!! Nori Green!! I'm jealous. I've got a blackline too. It's great. Like my tacoma but comfortable. Just ordered some wheels for it yesterday..
