Anyone in NY???

just noticed your a local#1 guy. im local#22 out of buffalo ny. i live in randolph,ny though. its about an hour south of buffalo, down by the pa border. lots of stateland to tear up around here.

 

Dope, let me know.

 

If i come up this summer i may have to get with you and tear it up. I have family in the hamburg/eden area. kinda between the state line and buffalo.

 

hamburg is about 30-45min north of me.my union hall is there.i just got a new frame under my trd,so im setting it up for off-road performance over the winter. new OME suspension,bumpers and other armour,new wheels and rubber. hookin it up.

 

yeah thats about how long i was thinking when you said you about 1h south of buffalo.

and hell yeah man! I’m still trying to sell a dirt bike and get a little better job. going to get sliders first. than work on lift and wheels/tires. and roof rack.

 

sliders are next on my list also. when i sell my stock sport wheels and yokahamas

 

My new winter toy, best money yet besides the taco

 

That looks fun. Bet you are getting good use of it this year.

 

April 27th I can definitely be there. Just let me know where to meet up in Ithaca.

 

Sounds good ill count you in, we will be meeting at the Dunkin donuts in Dryden probably around 1030, leaving by 11.

 

Lourdes health center?? I was just over there last week getting treated for bronchitis! Funny

Also I'm good to go for the 27th!

 

Nah, the hospital. But I end up hitting up each of the sites at some point.

 

Interesting, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your taco downtown

 

Yeah, I think I'm the only one around here with a plate steel bumper and soft shell.

 

Yeah you probably are, theres a few other tacomas here at the school also. Mines the magnetic grey one with the spare mounted in the bed. Which soft shell do you have?

 

Bestop. I like how it comes off, but I rarely take it off, the zippers can be a pain in the ass, and the vinyl windows crack in really cold weather. So I want to replace it with a fiberglass shell, but they're 3x what I paid for this one.

 

Yeah thats the one I want to get too, but Ive heard the same complaints about it....wish I had the cash for a fiberglass one

 

I've been thinking about getting the extang solid fold. Easy to remove.

 

It serves it's purpose. I don't like the fact that the zippers can break and pull out from the stitches, or that the plastic parts that hold the corners down are nearly worthless, or the fact that the clear vinyl cracks in cold weather meaning you can't open the back window when it's below freezing. And don't even THINK about taking the damn thing off once winter sets in. You need a nice warm day for everything to be soft, flexible, and stretchy.

I had a bakflip solid folder. Easy to flip up out of the way, but I found myself having it up nearly every load. Even taking the kids' bikes somewhere while laying down the handlebars were too tall. My wife didn't lay to cove back down or secure it one day bringing bikes home. She and left it flipped open toward the cab, and the wind flipped it back toward the tailgate so hard it ripped the hinges apart. That was $500 down the drain in an instant.

 

Good point. Maybe I'll just take that money and get a bumper!
