DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Facebook only group for now, they are working on the website.

 

Definitely, been looking forward to some wheeling, but might be a bit tentative being a 2 month old truck w/out armor

Took my kayak down to the hill country for the weekend and had a blast

 

I dont think I'll be going back out there till I get rocksliders at least. I bent both of my predator steps. Luckily it was slight and im pretty sure I can bend them back out. I also pinstriped the passenger side although it looks like just clearcoat damage that will buff out. We'll see tonight.

 

The thought carnage has taken me down this chain reaction of:

• If i damage my rocker panel, the repair cost would have covered a set of sliders
• If I'm willing to spend $700 on sliders, might as well buy that tube bender I've been wanting
• Now I'm months away from wheeling w/o worry

 

Im just going to have a local guy fabricate me some. It'll minimize the cost. I have too many projects currently to start learning to weld and buying a tubing bender.

 

Dave at @Trailworx Fab is making sliders for the 3rd gens, he's out of Midlothian.

 

Its therapeutic for me. I love going at sunset, with a sandwich, a drink, a cigar and posting up to watch the sun go down.

 

So I saw this today....

 

Ya I've seen him in the colony before

 

Seen one very similar to that. He must have insane horsepower with all those on there...

 

Hey, did I tell you how fun kayaking is? It's a blast!

 

@Zac of all trades Hey I bought a bed, hood and curtesy LED kit from @mattgecko. How did you wire the curtesy lights??

 

Ok, I'm ready.

 

I'm ready for something different.

 

Same

 

Good to know. We need some

 

Yeah, California always seems to get all the good stuff. And by good stuff, I mean fabricators.

 

Bro. There were a couple stock tacomas out there this last weekend that were on the green trails...

Here is a couple videos...

I tapped the ground wire into the dome light ground. Its located in the cab, if you look at the fuse panel... there is a wire harness that plugs into the bottom left corner, in that wire harness there is a solid blue wire that is the ground for the dome light.

I used a wire tap, found the wire and i was in business!

 

I think @ChadsPride set off a "like bomb" on my page!!!
