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

I won't have my truck back for a while. I just dropped it off at the shop today, but if you can wait until I get it back to take delivery I'll take it.

 

I spy yo truck

 

Anyone need a driver's side mudflap? The passenger side is apparently somewhere out at Bridgeport. I finally got around to washing my truck today and looking for damage. Just now realized I lost a mudflap and rubbed some of the bed liner off the bottom of the bumper. I think it happened on the trail where we had to turn around. I'm glad I know what the loud pop was now. Surprisingly the exhaust is fine. Probably about time to cut off that shiny TRD tip though.

 

^ On a similar note, where are y'all going for your exhaust work?

I want to get the reroute done on mine, and dump somewhere near the rear axle.

 

I'll be getting mine rerouted sometime in the next month. It will be in the Plano/Allen area though. @hoarder23 recommended a place to me over in FW that may be closer for you if your dont want to come out to the Plano area to get it done.

 

Just do it. The entire trip is pretty much planned out now... could also get your GF to come as well since their will be another woman for sure going... ha.

It would be 4 days of PTO, or 3 if you are already off for Labor Day.

I wouldn't be trying to get people to go if it wasn't going to be a fun trip at a great off road park with some great people.

 

How long is your truck in the shop?? I know its undergoing major surgery and all...

 

I googled some images of the reroute and it looks like it shouldnt be to challenging to get it done. I want to call a couple shops to see how much it would cost though.

Mine is the same length in the shop as it is on the road.

 

interesting.. the nolocking reg ol pack mount is just 10 bones more tho..

 

I can pay now, but prob can't pick up until I get it back in a week or two I imagine. I don't think I live too far from you if you were able to drop it off that would work also.

 

Ahhh we got a smart guy in here! haha

 

Bobby Gentry in denton is the best muffler shop I know. Not sure on pricing but they are top notch.

 

I think we live close enough that i can drop it off. I am buying this guys bed bars..... Problem is that one of them has hi-lift mounts welded on so they will need to be cut off.

 

Ha, I was going to get those if I did not get your rack. I have a grinder, we can slice them off when you run the rack by.

 

Yeah i saw your bid for them, and that it got turned down! haha.

Looks I can swing the rack by once i get the tent and stuff off. I also need to keep the mounting hardware for my bed cover. Not that i think that will be an issue for you....

 

Long beds are different

 

They get shorter when they get cold?
