NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I had a feeling all they did was change over the badges. Does yours have any TRD accessories? This one has the TRD shift nob, I haven't looked in the engine bay yet to see if it has the air intake or oil fill cap.

 

I think the badges, shift knob, maybe floor mats and subtle changes to the wheels are the only things that are different for the "TRD Off-Road"

 

Floor mats look normal, no TRD symbols on them. But yeah I think you're right.

 

You make a good point Jeff. There isn't anything wrong with my Dakars with the AAL after 2 years of moderate use. They still have a lot of curve and lift to them. Although they squeak, it doesn't bother me as much as some people (@twalchlii1) talkin to you!

I really like the set up i bought from wheelers, it was a little over $1000 i think. Fully loaded rear it barely sags at all, with a rear swing out gate bumper and a canopy, plus gear.

Dakars with the AAL preinstalled.
Icon ext travel rear shocks
wheelers bumpstops, with a relentless u-bolt flip.
OME leaf bushings.
- need to install the rear leaf shims

 

This will pretty much be my setup. I've already got extended travel icons. New bumper is going to add ~230 lbs. it's going to take 374738 years to get my bumpers from Relentless so I've got a couple months to get the rear suspension set up for it. Anyone have any recommendations on lights? My prinsu should be here tomorrow and I got a cutout for a single row 40" bar. Don't think I want to spend Rigid or Baja prices but something in a moderate price point that will last.

 

Its not a terribly expensive part If you only need 1. The dealer should be able to get it for you. Here it is though. Ive also seen them made out of simple angle iron picked up from Lowes/HD.

I love the stories the tell people to sell vehicles.

There are quite a few of these rolling around- the manager at my Discount Tire has one

When I was there a few weeks ago he was asking me questions about plasti-dip. Wants to do the fender flares "so they look like bushwhackers".

 

Yeah I figured haha maybe the first one from Rodland Toyota then.

 

Deavers for $220- don't remember who needed them.

Just quoting this to be sure you get an alert that you were tagged.

Nice man!! I'm looking at getting at single row 20in Rough Country for my front bumper and then eventually a 40in for the prinsu. I read a thread about what light bars fit in the cut out on the pelfreybilt bumper and these do.

pretty good price too, you can get 3 of these for the price of a rigid, and they have good reviews.

 

Take it apart and reseal it before you mount it. @Discoveries_unknown had 2 and they leaked water the first time it got wet. And there is a big reason why they are so much cheaper than rigid.

 

Easy fix. Were did he have it mounted?

 

I may have interest. Thanks for posting. Are they in Washington? I can send you a PM if you like. So tread is 14/32, (dumb question but I could eventually put 285's on those wheels?)

 

Front bumper

 

Must have taken too many trips to tahuya.

 

He put them on, rained the next day and they were full of moisture lol

 

False.

 

On the ecgs change out is the seal from ecgs supposed to go flush or is this good?

 

Tread is 14/32. New is 18/32. The answer to your dumb question (kidding) is that you could eventually put 285s on the wheels.
