Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

wow

 

3rd episode I've had. This one needed the shockwave to break it up. Passed a good number of smaller stones and thought I was done. That procedure was almost 6 weeks ago. He'd been chilling out in my ureter since then. Reminded me of his presence often.

 

Oh they will remind you at the most in opportune times.

I've had that procedure 3 times, my doctor won't even do it anymore because the long lasting affects of radiation.

My last surgery was a little more invasive and really freaking sucked.

I've got 2 more now that are starting to break free and drop out of my kidney. Yippee

 

Maybe this is nature's reminder that well water isn't for you.

 

I keep telling the doctor's it's all the calcium in the water and they act like I'm restarted.

I'm on my 4th urologist now

 

so they went up? oof.

what dr are you going to now?

 

Dr Trotter @ Midtown Urology

 

heh

 

Anybody have any recommendations on shops to do the body mount chop on a 2nd Gen Tacoma? This site got me thinking I could get it done in the $125 (labor) range, but I took it to a place that quoted $400. Any help is appreciated!

 

Not too sure. Somebody will chime in

 

Why aren't TW mod days being scheduled to help each other with this stuff?

 

Depending on how far you are willing to travel @achirdo does them

 

from what ive seen in recent past, Its hard enough just to get folks to a GTG, much less a mod day in the DFW and Austin group. Folks in this group are some busy folks from what I have seen in my short time of arranging GTGs

 

Was that a thing? That sounds awesome. I'm sufficiently handy with a wrench, but don't know enough about welding to feel comfortable cutting into my truck.

 

Profile says N. Dallas. I'm in S. Austin. Cost in gas might outweigh the cut in price, unfortunately. :-/ Thanks for the suggestion, though!

 

but at least you can support a local member and know its done right...just saying

 

I can cut, but don't have a welder, yet. Let me stir up some people to see what their cost was to have the cab mount chop n plate welded.

 

Pick a weekend with no scheduled wheeling events and host one at your place. Get a few guys together and help each other out. If someone uses their own supplies for you the general rule is to cover those expenses. Host lights the grill and everyone brings something to throw on it and into the cooler.

Torque to spec, rinse, repeat.

 

Very true! Wife is from Dallas. Maybe we could plan a trip up there and visit some of her old friends at the same time if I can't find any better alternatives closer to home.

 

@rhetto ^^^^^^^^ he's the man around here
