Because We're Not North Enough To Be NOVA, We're Just Stuck Between the North and the True South

So whatever happened to our day trip to Cooper Vineyards?

 

Well at least one thing has found it's way home so far. So much more steel to install...

 

TRD exhaust and long range 33 gal tank ready to install. Who wants to help

 

I might be able to. If I can figure out how to install them...

 

Got my ARB Compressor installed. Physically, installed that is. Have to order parts for the electrical hook up. That's with the Slee bracket.

 

That looks really good! Would that bracket work with a vlair compressor too?

 

I really don't think so.

 

Well... Here goes nothing...

 

So ummm... if everyone could keep an eye out for an Indigo Ink driver's rear flare that would be awesome.

 

Why do I find myself holding my breath? It's not like it's MY fender!

 

I'm more upset about the fender flare than I am about the factory bumper bolts that stripped out because they're garbage. But I still don't think it's going anywhere.

 

Need to get some trim for the cut edge, and figure out what I'm going to do about some flares, but here it is... A cut up truck and a gigantic rear bumper.

 

As soon as I win the lottery...

Looks great. Wish I had the guts and cash to do that

 

First drive with the truck to Corolla, NC


We are hooked now

 

Thank you sir. I'm not going to lie. I had to take a break, and sit and stare at it for a few minutes before I actually cut it.

I wish I wouldn't have been a bonehead and messed up the flare, but it is what it is. Thinking about picking up a set of eBay pocket style flares instead of buying another factory one. But I don't know... I wish the holes weren't there. I'd just take them all off.

 

I would have sat there for an hour staring and measuring. Have you seen the color matched painted plugs someone did for those holes? I actually like that look with the high clearance rears

 

I made the line, stood back, walked behind it and looked down the side, grabbed a cold glass of water and a chair and sat down about 15 feet away and stared at it for a couple minutes. Said screw it, grabbed the cutoff wheel and hit it. Definitely needs a little trim over the cut. But it's pretty straight to me.

And yeah, I do remember seeing those somewhere. I'm not sure how I feel about those though. I halfway thought about going Mad Max style and putting some black anodized 3/4" spikes in the holes. I think that might be just a little tacky though. Lol.

 

It looks great and straight in the pictures. I have heard door trim looks great on those cuts to clean them up some. Spikes may look badass. You never know until you try it. Stand out from the crowd.

 

Might be worth buying a couple to see. Can't be that expensive, right? Lol.
