The Getaway...Crom's build and adventures

Sheet metal out of the way. The take off is 3.9lbs.

 

Nick, before cutting the inner fender liner, let me take a picture of how I left it long behind the hc bumper. It really helps keep the tire spray off/ out of the rear cubbies. It involves modifying and reinstalling the lower rear bedside braces.
Edit: Here is a picture I took before covering it up with a mud flap. Sorry, the new mud flap bracket is in the way a little. I just trimmed and bent the bracket to hold the liner behind the bumper then trimmed it all to length.

 

Awesome! Thanks and thanks for the photo!

Great minds think alike.

I left both liners uncut for the same reason. I want to retain them.

I'm using a small string to pull them back for now and I kept all stock brackets and bolts.

 

Great write up Nick. Am going to be heavily considering these.

 

You've sold me on yet another mod! Thanks for the writeup.

 

This. I spend an inordinate amount of time Croming my rig.

 

Tell me about it!

 

Damn, I need to add this to the Cromization list for my truck. Seriously, can you stop doing things that make sense to me and add to the longevity of my Tacoma?

 

My wallet has been Cromatized....

 

The Cromination has begun...
Taking over the countryside... Crominating the peasants...

 

You all are welcome.

@Drainbung My wallet has been recovering for 7 years. It's TW! lol

I'll be done building the rig quite soon, let's call it late Spring 2017. I can almost taste it!

 

"done" that's a good one...

The god's of TW will not allow it.

 

Added a poll for fun. Large sticker collection... What you to do?

These are the vendor stickers that you get when you buy something Relentless, total chaos, Wheeler's off-road excetera.

I've been saving stickers since I was a teenager. Vendor stickers from brands/companies I use/support and band stickers from various concerts I've been to over the years. Always thought I'd sticker bomb my first car, but when I finally got my very own car, I never got the nerve to do it. Something about the permanence of placing a sticker knowing that I'd never get another chance to put it somewhere else. Needless to say, in the 20 something years I've been collecting I've amassed quite a collection. One of my old wall toolboxes that I still have did get completely covered. I think it was orange at some point. Duplicates get used here and there or sent along with gifts that get mailed. Other than that I have the same dilemma. Even looking at your poll, I can't decide. I'll probably never use mine.

Oddly enough, I found out there is a small underground group of collectors of vintage speed part stickers that would pay top dollar for the right sticker. Some have even taken to reproducing old faded stickers- not as counterfeits, but more as advertised reproductions for people that don't want to spend the money for originals. There's a market for everything these days.

 

I put them in my toolbox drawer. Just sitting there. That way, I don't have to peel them off of anything when I decide they look stupid.

Alternatively, stick them on the top of your skids.

As an alternative to that alternative, take them on the trail and when you run across some guy who is being a total douche in the backcountry, stick them all together in a stack on his drive shaft.

 

I put mine on the toolbox for the garage
