Northern Virginia Roll Call

sorry to hear that man.... it sounds like some Mexican food with the Tacoma Crew is EXACTLY what you need! lol

 

Hey man...just keep taking one day at a time

 

LOL WUT!

You striving for your PHD again?

 

I gotta go to fredericksburg on saturday or I probably would join you. Plus I have a million other things to get done this weekend.

Thanks man. That's what I've been trying to do. Hopefully things will calm down a bit for me soon. Just too much on my plate right now.

 

I hated school. PHD sounds like lots of schoolin.

 

well you have my number if you need anything at all! when things calm down we'll work out some time do get everything swapped over

 

I only got a bachelors and man I hope I don't have to go back. I have a licensure I am finally studying for, hate this crap. Where are you guys looking to go for Mexican?

Also @TacoCat I can mess with getting your retros squared up if you want me to crack that side open.

 

I bet if we coordinated it right with enough tools and people, might be able to knock all that shit out in one day. Probably need the whole vehicle on stands though.

 

Let's do it! We have plenty of jack stands, floor jacks, tools, sex toys, etc. Should be a great day!

 

it wouldnt be easy... but we could do it... get a couple guys working on each truck at the same time.... and put both trucks up in the air and just move everything over

but I ordered all new hardware from All Pro for the sliders, so they will just be bolt on.... bumper / winch is quick and easy.... suspension might take awhile... intake will be quick

 

yep.... I'll get with @TacoCat and find a day that works..... then we'll post it up and start planning the mod day

 

Not this week or next. I think it'll all boil down to when I can acquire the oem bumper and hardware from @buyobuyo when his demello comes in. I don't want to be driving around bumperless haha. And that big demello on stock suspension would be pretty saggy. Once I get the oem bumper, I say we knock it all out like the guys said.

 

Might take you up on that offer. I know I had to use some silicone sealer on that headlight cause it fogged up once, so it may be a major pain to open up. Its currently chilling in a box in my buddys garage till I get a chance to take care of it. Drivers side seems to be fine, no issues.

 

understandable.... so tenatively want to shoot for the 29th?

 

Might work. If all else fails, we might be able to knock out the sliders at least.

 

Worst case we can knock out everything but the bumper swap for when that might make more sense.

As far as the light, just let me know. With you not needing it on the ride, makes it nice to work with from a time standpoint. I bet sealant can easily be cut through with an exacto worst case.

 

Are the sliders completely bolt on or did you have to drill some extra holes in the frame? Mine took a while to get fully installed because of the extra holes I had to drill. That sucked.

 

Sucks! The website for the sliders I ordered said they were 100% bolt on no drilling. Turns out they were 85% bolt on.

 

They do require drilling the frame if you want to use them as true sliders. Right now mine are just bolted up using the existing holes that were already in the frame since I use them as steps. Thats why Caleb needed to order the hardware, I didn't have all the bolts. We could mount the sliders using the existing holes, and he could do the frame drilling at a later time. I wouldn't see a need to even pull the sliders down.

 

I bet you can still bolt them on just fine...mine had the option to increase from 5 points of connection to 8 if you drilled out three more holes. I bet yours is like that if they offer that many points. Who did you order from?
