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

Ouch! I did the same thing right before getting sliders

 

That looks bumper looks great. Thats the bumper i have mi eye on. I might have done a few things since last months meet.

 

Tire gate and wheels! Looks awesome man

 

Collective brewing tonight around 8-830 if anyone wants to join

 

I also need to figure out something for the trailer plug.

and replace a wheel cap. Rock wins over plastic EVERY time!


I almost got a little wetter than I wanted to. See the 6m54s mark

Wheel-yep
Trailer plug-yep

I relocated my trailer plug into one of the holes in the bumper for the license lamp, just got a brighter bulb on the other to make up for it

 

The dent came as I was channeling my inner @danbow trying to go up the Twins. I should've let @Tundra2Play try it first. At least the Jeep that tried after me didn't make it either.

Speaking of which, @Tundra2Play earned his "Jeep Recovery Vehicle" sticker yesterday.

 

Damn, that sucks. Sorry bud.

 

It happened, and nothing I can do about it now. Hoping the 20 degree angle of the SOS Sliders will help to cover it up. I'm more worried about sealing the paint so I don't get rust there. It cracked the paint at the crease.

 

It does suck it happened. Not sure the sliders will cover it now or make it more noticeable having another straight line right by it. The wheel damage is always going to happen. I just noticed that I scratched up my front driver side wheel also on the last trip out. I've seen a lot of people move the trailer hitch plug up behind the bumper. I think someone on here make a relocation bracket. Look like you guys had a lot of fun out yesterday and that's what matters!

 

Damn that video really shows how high that water came up, i love how the girl in the back immediately rolls the window up!

 

I have a homemade relocation bracket sitting around if u want it suprajim. I don't have to stock bumper anymore so u can have it.

 

Unfortunately, it's too far gone and won't mount up anymore. But, if I had that and the sliders on Friday, I'd be in better shape today.

 

Went scouting for photography locations yesterday - anyone recognize the bridge?

 

Happens. My slider saved us this weekend in hot springs and just ended up denting it.

 

Nope, looks good though.

Where is it?

 

I picked up a 48" hilift jack cheap this weekend.

Anyone know where I can pick up the "angled end plate I can use for clamping/pulling"?
Do I need a larger/wider base plate?
Whose slider adapter should I buy?
Which mounts do y'all use? Where do y'all mount them?

I hadn't planned on buying one yet, so I hadn't researched ahead of time.

 

You can buy replacement parts from Hi-lift's eBay store. It's the Top Clamp/Clevis

SOS mounts are coming in this week and I'm going to put it on the front rail behind the cab. I have a 48" too. As far as the slider adapter I got one made by a TW member. Good quality and he packaged well and shipped fast. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/hi-lift-slider-adapters.439930/
