Taylor's Taco

Hows the slidders working out? and what do you think about putting fender flares on my truck I've been considering them?

 

I'll put them to use this weekend! So far so good. Makes it harder to get in and out because I'm too tall to use them as steps. What flares are you thinking?

 

Nice post some pics! and I was wondering if it would. For the flares im not sure yet because alot are $300ish

 

Make some out of mudflaps

I'm digging the kind of twin builds we have going on right now.

 

My mud flaps are long gone haha but that's an idea or maybe your truck looks better without them and ill dispose of them for you...and yeah Its nice to have a truck that's around the same point.

 

If i have to remove them after the lift, we'll see

 

Nice! how big are you going with the lift?

 

I think like 2 3/4 front and 2 1/2 in the front.

 

Mines sagged almost that much When do you think you'll have it on now that youre back at school?

 

Mine's is sagging BAD. Got a bro lean from the bad leaves.

I get my tax return soon, and I will get them then. Probably going on during spring break.

 

So, I went to Shoe Creek with all the east coast TW dudes this weekend. It was sick. Wind chill around 0 I'd assume and a whole lot of snow made it awful. Took a girl on our second date there, which was probably the dumbest thing I've ever done, but it worked out.

Met travis to put on his all pro bumper before we went and it ended up taking a little longer than we thought. We ended up hauling ass to shoe and got there around 10. Setting up a tent in the pitch dark in cold ass weather in the snow in the mud... gross. Worst night of sleep of my life.







Went to park my truck in the last spot I could find and ended up sliding down the hill sideways. I had to fold in my mirror to get into the spot. The next morning, I had to have Travis use his tow strap to keep me from sliding into the tree as I pulled out.



We did my diff breather extension that morning in preparation for the creek crossings. I'll get a pic later.

Then we went out and had fun! I was the only stock suspension guy there, but I tore it up. Cleared a ton of things some bigger guys got stuck on and drove out of there with just a few scratches. Proud of myself, thanks to my stock locker and sliders!








My stupid saggy stock suspension goes full stuff over nothing...









I also ended up finally giving my rear springs their death blows. They're both fully negative now and I'm getting a terrible wheel hop issue when I'm hard on the brakes, which sucked coming back down the mounting after the trip.



All of us at the end of the trail before we split ways.



All in all, it was the coolest thing I've ever done and it was awesome meeting all those dudes. I can't wait to wheel some more with all of them!

Also got a video of the one obstacle that wasn't hard but I managed to mess up, haha.

Pics of the diff breather mod Travis did for me!

 

Looks like fun man I never see that many tacos here! And with the leafs look on the bright side now you "need" a lift! even though you were already getting one

 

True! If we ever go to URE, you need to come up with us! The VA group is very kickass.

 

That would be awesome! Are you in VA?

 

Yup. I live in Lynchburg and go to School in Harrisonburg.

 

I'll be moving to omaha nebraska soon haha they have alot of atv trails aorund the city we go to

 

Why ya moving out there, man?

 

I'm actually from there and just got accepted to UNO today but alot of my family lives there (so will my parents) and its cheaper. Alot of guys out there run sand rails on the plate river which is awesome!

 

Sick dude! We'll miss ya here on the east coast!
