Texas BS Thread

I don't have the tools to do the job and experience with installing suspension is very limited, next to none. Would love to find a shop to do it, but they all want to rape you on prices to do it.

 

The UCAs suck big donkey balls ... Idk why Toyota designed them to never come out lol but they did.... So you have to bash and bend a little metal to make room lol. But once they're out, its a pretty easy job.

You and the other guy should just have a mod day together so we can all work together and everyone can learn a little bit and help with the installs.

 

I'd be down!

 

since this is the BS thread, i'm going to vent about something that i doubt many of y'all know about, so it'll seem pretty vague...

i was supposed to be getting a new job with a 'new' company. meetings were had, things started to fall into place...the only thing left open was pay. more discussions, i was given some projects to look into, and/or start. this has been an ongoing project since about January.

pay was finally discussed 2 months ago. i said "probably going to need more" (the offer was on the low side of what had been discussed). was told 'ok, i'll talk to the managers.' the offer was about 25% lower than the going rate. silence. typically pay would be offset by some side-work, but for 1/3 of the time of the contract, i'd be a) away from home, and b) unable to do any side work at all. the side-work is typically done at a sister company. about a year and a half ago, i applied with sister company was told, while chuckling, "you're one of the highest paid in the country." which isn't the case, but for what i did, i was paid pretty well. needless to say, sister company couldn't afford me.

all this going through 100% was still dependent upon the 'new' company getting their funding.

check a news website today and see that the 'new' company is a go and everything is set. not sure if i'm involved still or what. i was supposed to have been a part of the process. so i'm kind of left with a lot of questions, no answers, and having wasted a fair bit of energy researching stuffs and things.

 

Wash your hands of it and move on

 

Yeah, I'd be out on that one.

 

I grew up in El Paso if you get out by red sands theres places to wheel, you have to go further out where its more rocky. Really miss wheeling on the sand dunes had a lot of fun.

 

I have the tools and have done it a few times. More than willing to lend a hand and a garage.

 

I need to get a set of these for the truck.
LED landing lights.

 

I'll take a set too

 

Ill probably take you up on that offer bro

 

Oooo shiny. Looks very $$$ bet those landing lights are easily a couple grand a piece.

 

Guessing there around $10,000 and that might be low.

 

What part of Dallas are you in?

 

North

 

I'm in Rockwall. And I'd be interested in getting some help with a lift install as well. Not sure on timeframe yet. Might be after the holidays (gotta take care of the kids Christmas before mine).

 

If yall need an extra hand or tools, I am in murphy and work in Rockwall...

 

I pass through everyday, lift is easy let me know what your trying to install lift wise, Braeden can probably help knock it out too.

 

Seems like we have alot of people to help. I just need help installing a rear block, preassembled front coilovers, rear shocks, and some ucas.

Lets do a mod day

 

Sounds good to me!
