@Coot83 needs a build thread

 

I think its a little late, or he could start from current.

 

absolutely. I'm sure I'll end up posting up each major mod I do and you guys are always welcome to come watch, led a hand, or just hang out and drink a beer. haha

Ugh! I just saw his lo pro bumper that he released on the Facebook page.... AND he's doing 20% off for tax season bringing my out the door price with center hoop and powdercoating to $740


So let's talk about winches / fairleads today. Here is my question:

I see that a Hawse style fairlead requires a synthetic line (which I am not a fan of those lines for my own reasons) But Warn offers a cast iron Hawse style fairlead with a steel line winch instead of the traditional roller fairlead, which makes me think, I will just buy a winch with a steel cable and buy the cast iron Warn Hawse fairlead.

Thoughts?

 

Was not aware that you can have a hawse with a steel line. I have synthetic

 

Agreed and that has been the standard because most Hawse fair leads are made of steel or aluminum

But Warns is cast iron... maybe that is the difference?

 

How have you liked th dakars?

 

I like them! I dont think Ive even lost height, and its almost 1 year with them on. Ive had various different setups and hauling things. PM Marie at @HeadStrong Off-Road for free shipping!

 

Sweet I will definitely stop by then and yeah I saw that new lopro as well and that's a great price. Not sure on the winch stuff.

 

Thanks which break lines did you go with for them? Also which bilstein upgrade would be better for them in rear?

 

I used @OCTaco for brake lines. I have stock +5". He can make any lengths, for a really good price. I think it was $89 for the front and rear, shipped? As for Bilsteins, I do not know. I have Icon 2.5 resi shocks in the rear

 

Damn that's a really good price.

Added this to my Tacoma Spreadsheet haha

 

for level8 MK6 wheels......

black or gunmetal? It looks like the black wheels get lost with the tire in a lot of the pictures, where the gunmetal stands out pretty well....

 

I agree with the statement that black wheels blend into the tire.. Gunmetal does not

 

I'm going to Chantilly to trade guns with someone

 

what are you getting?

 

Trading for a Glock 17

 

Nice trade!
