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

Even with 4wd, hitting logs and ditches still can lead to a bad day...

Btw, what's the story on someone needing an emergency 3rd member?

 

Looks like you guys had a blast! Now I'm really pumped about Jambo.

 

I think the consensus is everyone is going to let him tell the story himself when hes ready

 

pulled the footage i got of @Zac of all trades truck from my drone, lookd pretty awesome, lll edit it and post it up here soon.

 

I had free booze and food. Lol

 

Dang just missed this my trucks getting its getting total Chaos and kings installed this week.

 

I have a 12 but base models like me have the 8.4 ring gear not the 8.0. All e lockers are 8.0

If the teeth on the ring or pinion are sheared you can pull the driveshaft but the wheels are still spinning so it won't do any good because they are still rotating. The front driveshaft wouldn't matter because it does not spin in 2wd on the tacomas just the FJ and I think some 4runners

I'm waiting for warren to explain it since it's his truck but I towed him from the back of the camp all the way to the front and it looked like a funeral was going on.

 

Listed my Avid stuff for sale on the classifieds thread. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/texas-classified-sticky.209832/page-874#post-14156666

I'll have the full front clip for sale next week, once I get my new bumper installed. Would be great if you're trading in a 2wd for a 4wd.

 

Took the wife and our girls to Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge. We drove around and hiked a trail. We'll go back when it's warmer to hike more trails and

 

Well, we can meet on sundays now

 

This was me

Short story shorter, I destroyed the ring and pinion in the rear end. I was still on stock gears (3.73) so this has allowed me to pull the trigger on 4.56/4.88's. Still in the research phase about what exactly I will get.

A few more pics below...


Being pulled to the front...

 

A few from yesterday at Barnwell, good to finally meet a few of you. I hope to get out there again or Bridgeport after I get my armor on.

 

@SuperBad I still have your walkie, but I never got your number. Pm me and I'll drop it off

 

I totally forgot about it also..never saw you again after coming off solihull. Thanks for the pull btw

 

Was good to meet everyone from the DFW area Saturday morning, sucks I had to head out around 1pm that day, but I had prior plans. Hope that a lot are able to make it to Jambo this year as if you had fun this weekend, just wait till Jambo fun.

 

When you post videos from the Mud area, Tag me in it please or something!

 

@dwaltdtx hey, I was going to ask you. But do you have different front fenders on your truck? They looked a lot wider than normal.

You had the black sport with the sungtop and prinsu on the cab right?

 

Ya, Mcneil +2 fronts. Looks goofy with the stock bumper, but the hybrid should go on next weekend

 

Ah nice! Thought it looked different. I really liked the look of it... may have to look into that. Going to shoot you a PM then.

 

As promised. Here is the video i got from the weekend. @ETXTacoma @Zac of all trades @dwaltdtx @Silverspool @Overkill07 @NEWBIETACO @SuperBad @49erfan @Geremy
