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

Good to know.

 

I meant 2wd no locker will be tough. 2wd with locker will help out a lot

 

Well if you need to use your locker then your probably risking damage to your truck... haha. Nah come out in Jan and I am sure we can put that 4x4 to use and find something to use your locker on.

 

We can give you a crash course. Get a CB or I prefer a 2 way radio since it is way more clear, I've got both in the truck. We can tell you over the radio what you will need to do or press to help you out. Ideally try almost everything without any buttons so you can learn what to do provided it fails. We will not put the rig in any danger of major damage. Small scratches, your gonna have to get over that hurdle.

 

Someone say something about putting a new truck on the trails?

I am down to help break that thing in...

 

I believe we are. You get your pelfrey bumper on?

 

Yes sir! Got it on the truck less than two weeks ago.

Prinsu rack for the shell comes in Thursday as well!

Still for the 13-15 for the Barnwell trip?

 

I have a cb and dont mind trying trails in an unlock 2wd, i iust dont want to be the guy that holds up the trail and has to get help everywhere.

If you skilled folks say thats not a problem, ill try it

 

I'm the same way.....I don't want to be "That guy". I def bought the truck to get dirty. Flipping it upside down is another story.

 

I did some pretty hard trails at Barnwell with no lift, I did have 4x4 though... but you should not have an issue on a majority of the trails out there.

 

Looks nice man! Jelly of those free baja fog lights! What winch are you planning to put in that thing?

Yeah man I will be out there for sure! Are you coming out? I also plan to hit up the Lone Star Toyota Jamboree in May.

I was checking out your build.... What size molle panel did you you get for your seat back? Is it the 14" or the 18"?

 

Hahaha. Talk to @danbow about almost flipping your truck...
for all to see again...

I know man! Those Baja Fog Lights with the Amber Wide Cornering lights are amazing! They are almost brighter than my actual hi-beams! Now I just need to get the 20" bar for the bumper as well.

As far as winch, I am not sure. That is one thing that is lower on the list for now, but am thinking a Warn or a ComeUp 8k winch.

I am thinking that I will be there. I need to get a better cold weather sleeping bag, but I want to come out now then. I will def be a Jamboree this year, last year was a ton of fun!

I bought the 14x20" Molle panel according to the receipt from them, is the perfect size for the back of the Tacoma seats.

 

Ok, I would def be OUT on that. Holy cow, that would require new pants.

 

Yeah it was wet and very slippery out there that morning. He was turning to go down and his truck slipped into a rut and i think they both nearly pooped themselves for sure.

 

Don't make poor choices and that won't happen. You shouldn't make 90 degree turns down steep hills, especially if the inside part of the turn is lower than the outside.

 

The Jamboree will be my 1st big meetup. Im looking forward to it, and i will have my sliders by then so i will feel a bit better being out there playing in my truck.

Thanks for the heads up on the molle panel. I think im about to put on on my christmas list!

 

Yeah he learned not to do that anymore that day. When he got out of the truck he said "I think im going to take it easy the rest of the day".

 

We rode "the crack" at brideport in my friends jeep.. both us and the jeep in front slipped off the left wall and sunk into the crack. Both smashed their left fenders. THAT was an oh shit moment for sure.

 

Follow the line of the guy in front of you and you will be ok. Don't turn hand over hand. It's little things you will learn.
