Sad to say that TriStateTuners will be going offline sometime around Oct. 15, 2024. After 20 years online, times have changed and its no secret that the forum's activity level has slowed to a crawl. Its been an incredible run with so many amazing friendships formed and community events held, plus all of the technical knowledge and entertainment shared online. I know I'm not the only one who has had both their personal and professional life impacted and improved significantly from this community, and I'm happy to have been a part of something so special. Thank you to so many people who volunteered to the community -- the entire moderating team, behind the scenes IT support, those who organized events, and everyone who contributed online to this unique local car community. I hope that many years after the prime of TST, many of you are still enjoying cars even if we are all "grown up" now. Please take the time to revisit your member journal and reminisce, or browse any other parts of the forum. Maybe reach out to an old friend or two and make plans to grab dinner and catch up. The timeline may change slightly but I wanted to get this notice up as quickly as possible to give everyone a bit of advance notice. Thanks for everything, TROLL

Rapture Tri-State Aficionado Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Moorestown Member #13907 My Ride: 1987 AW11 iTrader: (0)	When Maintenance Goes to Hell So Saturday I decided I would devote a quick 20 minutes to replacing the serpentine belt on my Tundra. I have all the tools and parts so I pop the hood. Once I'm about to slip it on, the tensioner decides to die. Knowing disaster when I see it, the whole ordeal turned into me having to wait until today to get a new tensioner and then spend 5 hours dismantling my truck to replace the damn thing. Anyone else have any lovely stories of when a 10 minute job turns into a 10 hour mess?
