FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Helping another Fjer from Alberta Canada

Long story short:

A guy, Colin Marson, I met on the blue room who lives in Alberta, Canada contacted me because he saw a post I commented on about the MAF auxilliary tank. We have exchanged emails on the pros and cons of the system. He was inquiring about it because he will be traveling from CA down to Mexico. This is something that's on his life list and he just wants to explore some parts of Mexico. Due to some of the remote locations he's planning on visiting, he decided to try to get the MAF tank. He was going to drive down to MAF and have them install it. I offered to have the tank shipped to my house and help him install it at no cost.

He seems like a nice man who is trying make one of his dreams come true. If anyone is interested in helping out please let me know.

Colin will be in CA on 1/22/11.

Update: The tank arrived at my house last night and Colin will be in town on Saturday, January 22nd to do the install. Everyone (almost) is welcome to stop by. The install should take between 2.5-6 hours depending on how quickly we work.

As of now the install will be at my house. Address below:

2345 triumph court

Turlock, CA 95380

gate code 2726 or call me at (209)648-9436

Update: We will be starting the install on Saturday at around 9:00 am.

I'll be there, but that will be a trick, cause I'm flat broke and I ain't got no paycheck cause I ain't got no job....

Seth your more than welcom to come by and install. Keep in mind that the focus is to get this Aux. tank in. I'm sure someone can give you a hand though.

Yeah, Its not a big deal. I am more than capable to do the install myself at home. just, if i happen to have it and we have time would be cool to install it.
