    I thought Solo was doing Tundra rack swaps?? Is that not holding up either? May be worth a call to ask them?

    they are, I was going to have them do the swap on my truck but never found the time to get my truck over there this summer. I'm going to put another OEM rack back in and roll with that for now, on 37s too... :eek:

    Cost to floss, I'll end up dropping in a Howe 3.0 before I waste the money on more factory Toyota Parts

    Of course, I had really good luck with my last OEM rack so we will see how well this new one holds up to the 37" RTs I'm putting on but the Howe rack will be the next jump should it come to that. Just have other priorities at the moment and I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be keeping my truck :luvya:

    Finished up mounting these roadrunner bedsides, here are some pics and info since I couldnt find shit about them before I ordered. I didnt want to mount them myself because of my bad experience with the last set of bedsides but these were so damn easy. The passenger side was even easier and both sides had minimal trimming needed (basically none). Dont mind the missing driver side tail light, I need to get the bolts for the tail lights (anyone know the size???)

    haha I doubt it will be that long. I really want to get into something I can actually go race and not just a cool prerunner. A couple friends and I have been throwing the Trophylite idea around again lately or I have always wanted to get into a 1600 car. Pros and Cons to both, its all about $$ at this point

    Every truck is for sale. When you are ready, and have the bank roll.... just ask the owner how much they want.

    Quick question for you guys. I know some of you run a stud kit for your wheels. Im getting Method double standard. Would I have to also upgrade to a stud kit for these wheels or can I run stock studs and lug nuts. If I have to upgrade which lug nuts do I get for this wheel? Thanks.

    I shouldve done all the gussets already, now one of the cam tabs broke off without me even going on a trip lol

    On another note, does anyone want/need some beat up tail lights for free? The tabs are broken so I had drilled screws straight into plastic on the tail light, I think one of them has a cracked off piece of glass but they do work if anyone needs them if you're in a bind

    I've got that one thing, and that other one thing, oh yeah and that other other one thing.
    Anyone want to go to Ocotillo or Johnson Valley in November? I'll be on leave and still want to experience it before throwing down.
