907 Monthly tAKoma meets!

Hey! got a tip for this thread on my build and thought i'd say hey. Nice to see such a strong taco crew in AK. New to TW, new to Tacomas.

 

Come out to one of the meets man! We'd love some more members.

 

going fishing in Homer that weekend with a group. sry. i would love to do some wheeling. can't wait!

 

Just keep an eye on the threads. We have people that will get together on the weekends for mini meets through the month as well

 

Damn.. Can't do the 25th. Gonna be in homer with the lady friend that weekend.

 

Welcome to the AK section!

 

I haven't been to any of the meets yet but I'm looking forward to the 25th. I should have the new tires by then too

 

I will be there were ever we decide to go. I went camping last weekend at kings river and there was a ton of snow still. Sutton was pretty good we stopped by there to go shooting and the snow wasn't very deep I think we will be fine by the 25th

 

Anyone got a ca trailer? Got fired today, and went offroading to release stress and my front left cv blew up and locked my tire up. Need a tow to chugiak from wasilla so my brother can help me replace the half shaft. If you have one I can barow or If you can help give me a call at 9072420028. I will be able to throw in some gas money if you can help me out.

 

Damn that's some bad luck. Sorry man

 

Yea it turned out to be quite a crappy day. Thing was I was not even a mile from my house in wasilla when it happened, I was turning around to go home and went into a hole, it was deeper than I thought, so I flipped it into reverse and punched it out of there before I sunk any further (as I don't haw anyone out here to pull me out) and when I got out and got back onto the road I herd a loud pop and loud grinding and the truck started pulling to the left bad! When I got into my driveway (all dirt) the left tire locked up and just slid on the dirt. Super stressful day' when I get it fixed imma need to meet up with y'all and do some offroading to blow off some steam

 

Ben- how's 100th looking? If anyone wants to meet up this week to check it out, I'm down. I've kept my eye on it while passing on the freeway, and it looks like most snow is gone. Just not sure how "deep" anything is or if the land owners have thrown more barriers up

 

even though my truck is currently stranded I still got my leds and needles done before the misshap. not only that I ordered a new 18 inch woofer and two new super tweeters for the beast aswell. building the box for the new woofer while I wait to get my truck back to town to work on it. heres a pic of the dash and key hole

 

Think its still open . No barriers that ive seen. Id be down on probably wednesday or thursday

 

I was thinking about going over there sometime to check it out. I definitely will after the new tires are here

 

Still open, pretty deep but passable. I need yo put my stock air filter on again. And clean my MAF.

 

I need to go to napa and get the right cv. They gave my the wrong one and I didn't even notice till I was about to tear into the front end..

 

Just out of curiosity, what are you guys planning on using to paint your sliders?

 

SEM trim black. Tough paint and looks good too. Or maybe por-15 which is gonna be more expensive then regular paint. Did get those sliders??

 

Nah I didn't. Just curious. I'm thinking of bedlining my rocker panels and was wondering if anyone was going to do that to their sliders. Seems like it wouldn't be the best option for them. If I had them it would probably be fine, as I'd be more worried about chipping from tires kicking up rocks than actually sliding across things. You never know, but I don't plan on wheeling my truck that hard haha...
