Yea..TW is very distracting..haha

But i don't blame it. I blame all of you for being so cool and fun haha

 

TW is terrible. I cant even search google without TW showing up in the results in some form.


Diesel swaps, solid axles, and overland builds, oh my!!!

 

I notice that google image search puts up a picture of a tacoma over some of the most random searches I have done.

 

cause google knows you like them so it just inserts stuff you like with other stuff

 

I know but if I am searching for leeches I don't expect to see a tacoma .

Also, any ideas on how to secure my spare tire?

 

I'm back!!! lol

Working on the website

 

bolted to the bottom of your rack?

 

Hmmm, that could work. It would cramp it all up but eventually I will have a bumper.

 

But itd work... Best I can think of

 

Yeah, I just want it somewhat secured. I know I can't make it theft proof but I can make it a little difficult. I also don't want it to just bounce around in the bed.

 

get a locking cable thru the wheel and to the bed rack like a bike lock.

 

Hmm, guess the rear bumper might be jumping up on the to do list.

I did not think this through at all .

 

Monte....Cadbury Mini Eggs......... Best candy ever

 

nomnomnomnom. Is it time for Easter candy already ?

 

Josh you are being summoned in the taco picture challenge thread.

 

Haha thanks for the heads up.

Damn TW making me spend more time on it again


Whats everybody's $.02 on TG sliders? I just called Scotty at Addicted Offroad and had him shoot me a price on their heavy duty sliders ($400) and install(about $200). The TG's are $280 but i've heard mixed things about their products.

 

TW has took over my studying time...again. Just PM'd a ton of people about fender trimming and they all have mixed views on the tools but I think I got this. One thing I find impressive is that no one did reliefs cuts like Monte. I don't have a steady hand so reliefs cuts are a must.

I think I am going to cut the front fenders before install on Friday now. That makes Thursday morning/night and Friday morning pretty busy.

 

what are you using to cut with?

 

That is kinda surprising nobody did relief cuts, i know if i were about to chop my fenders that would be the only way i go about it. It just seems like the much cleaner approach as opposed to just drawing a line and going for it. That nifty little tool Monte used seemed like it was meant for chopping fenders for 35's

I'm pumped to see how your truck turns out Gage.

 

Well, at first I was gonna go with a jigsaw but decided on an angle grinder or dremel. I will most likely make 1 inch cuts using all three tools to decide which one I feel more proficient with before cutting the full 2 inches.

My plan is to...

• Tape off the area
• Use the fancy tool everyone makes to outline the 2in cut.
• Make relief cuts roughly an inch apart right below the cut line.
• Use a dremel to cut the fenders.
• Put a flap disk on the angle grinder and sand up to the line to achieve a clean and smooth cut.

Same thing with the plastic fenders except I will use a jig saw for the cutting and then clean the cut up with a metal file followed by sand paper.

I am debating if I should go ahead and color match the fenders while they are off and being abused.

I am going to go ahead and actually document and do a write up for this. Well, unless I epically fail. For the amount of guys that have done this I am surprised how little they wrote on it. NYCO was the only one to really touch on the topic.

Some people have major balls I guess. I just know that if I end up with a crappy cut I will kick myself for it every time I see the truck. Like I do with my headlights haha. The gear group buy is almost at 10 buyers too . At least I am no longer sad that I sold the motorcycle.
