San Diego BS Thread.

Looks interesting but without anybody ever using it yet it's kind of a shot in the dark type thing. I honestly think it will break apart after a while if it's mounted outside the truck when the sun beats down on it and becomes brittle.

 

Yeah. We'll see. I'm trying it out. It's $120 for some extra recovery help, which is $180 less than Maxtrax. Figured I'd be the guiney pig.

As to the sun making them brittle, that's a good point. Though I see guys run their Maxtrax on roof racks or off the rear bumper. I'll have to ask around and see if any of them have had that issues.

 

Anyone in San Diego want to help a noob install fat bob front spacers on a 2015 5-lug? I got some monies

 

Go see speedfreak

 

looks like he's in Vista too far from me:/

 

Post up in the San Diego meets thread, they might have a Mod day

 

thank you! I will

 

Dropping this in here fellas. Posted it in the SD meet thread too.

Also, thought I'd drop this here. Good write up and we might as well add the trails down in our area. OP is doing a great job summarizing all the trails people are posting. I'll throw it in our BS thread too.

Here ta go. It was so where in there

 

I wanted to take a minute to say thanks to Jeff (JTA Metal works) @jeffz0rz for his great work yesterday.

I used my new impact gun, and it took apart the Tacoma like child's play. Took less than 5 minutes and LCA was on the floor. I cleaned the bolts and bushings, while Jeff @jeffz0rz chiseled off the factory tabs, cleaned and burned on the new Total Choas cam tabs gussets, and then painted. Then i put back LCA. It was awesome working in tandem. The Firestone alignment tech even came to me and complemented Jeff's work! Probably get some business from him too.

Jeff was great to work with. I'm very pleased with the result.






Jeff doing his thing.

Total Chaos Cam tab gussets

 

That's something on my to do list

 

Long day for me yesterday too. Spindle gusset in the AM, Cab chop in the afternoon and a slider weld-in install in the evening, today was a Timing belt and install a 1GR muffler onto a 3.4 exhaust.

BTW Jeff, on those Tab gussets its good to lay a nice bead on the outter part of the gusset, hard to tell in the small pic Im getting looks like you might have done that but I think how you did either way it is plenty strong, but I do it because it just seems to gusset the gusset if ya know what I mean. lol
Looks good though, have you tried that Rustoleum Bed liner, dries kinda semi gloss with a bit of texture in spray cans at Lowes, I just kind of like the satin look its what I have been using and had great results with how tough it is.

 

That rustoleum spray on bed liner is awesome. Painted my whole truck with that stuff.
