Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Had the pleasure of meeting @Bentrodder and picking up my bed supports. noticed while chatting that my bed is indeed bowing out slightly already so I am excited to install these... I stripped them, chamfered the leading edges, sanded and primed them. a little chilly out for priming but hey that's what the oven is for, toasted them to 120° pre prime... don't tell my gal

When your two kids are driving you nuts, and the wife is had it up to here with you...

Ya go outside and split some goddamn firewood!!

And drink yourself a Double IPA.

(Detour DIPA from Uinta Brew. I recommend)

 

Can I sit on the bench with you guys? Or maybe I'll just take a nap in the house that's in the bed of my ass- high truck with a unistrut swingout tire carrier that's rolling on pizza cutters.

 

Must of missed you. Saw no other Tacomas out there. I was there 3:30- close. Only place in Antioch i truly like

 

AMEN

 

Teach us your ways, great leader.

 

I'm more of an example of what not to do...
This is my 5th set of leaf springs. 3-leaf to TSB's to Ironman to Dakar to Alcan. 4th set of rear shocks. 3rd set of fronts. 3rd set of wheels, and 3rd set of tires. 2nd popup camper. 4th rear bumper. All in less than 5 years and less than 50k miles.

Now I'm considering selling the FWC to fund a flatbed and custom popup camper. I'll only lead you down a dead end trail of unnecessary spending and effort.

 

Perhaps it would be best if we just watch, then.

 

You country folks do that, us city folks just head here to relieve some stress/frustration...

I need one of these!!! cool tool for emergency repairs.

 

Fuk ya with my 265/75 sensible shoes and grandpa cap.


If I can lash this up with yours, we can drift across the seas of lonely otherness for eternity.

That's actually pretty low compared to those who joined at the same time I did.

Uh huh. At this rate, when he's been on for 7 years like me, 198,528. Soooo.....

 

preload your fronts

 

I am torn between a custom bed box with pop up, or the habitat....

 

lol, some expeience

as stated - easy to maintain, cheaper, lifetime warranty, TRD red (yes, despite the totally bland grey badge-less, logo-less, decal-less truck i actually like the red)

no complaints about the durability, i did go off a curb once and then hit a speed bump going at least 15mph and they didn't break

replacement BJ's are 10 or 12 bucks so i keep a couple spares when i hit the mall and could change one out on the side of the road in about 15 minutes

downsides? they don't have the "cool factor" like badass TC/DK/ICON billets etc. (IMHO beat the crap out of LR's tho)
