Northern Virginia Roll Call

I have begun the baby mods

 

we got our racks together.....you put a baby rack together!

 

I just hope he torqued it to spec.

 

dont be snapping bolts bro.

 

I didn't. You on the other hand ...

 

lol lucky we had 8,000 extra bolts!

 

@boogie3478 , I figured I'd just post here for the group's input.... that Home Depot shovel is only 28"... that seems a little short?

 

That's just the handle measurement. That's what my current shovel and axe are ... and the size is perfect for the rack.

 

so at what point do the bed stiffeners become helpful? is having tools mounted to my bed rails and a cap enough stress to hurt my bed? i know im like a week late on this but im making mounts for a high-lift, a shovel, and an axe today is that enough weight to cause possible damage?

i also almost ate it today slipping off my slider in the rain, found some grip tape tape at lowes for 4 dollars does the trick perfectly if anyone else has had this experience.

 

I got some grip tape as well for my sliders. I've heard that the Tacomas beds start separating even without a bunch of weight on them.

 

they can start to come apart over time w/ no constant weight....

def recommend just installing some for the peace of mind.

 

yay! MMJ30 works for PepBoys....

$67 for a 48" hi lift jack

 

Had fun with @fatfurious2 today at rausch! You guys should have come

 

looks like a lot of fun guys!!! Wish we could have come!

next time for sure!!! we need to plan a weekend trip in October once I am not stock as fuck like @Superman910

 

I lost a valve stem today, but learned about these! Definite must have.

 

Did you buy? Any hi-lift accessories?

 

Got the lift all finished up today. Was running out of daylight but grabbed a pic of my little helper, he was a trooper both days. He had a million questions and ideas about how we could do this or that to make things easier.

 

Hey fellas, if by chance anyone wants my stock coils and shocks or the rear packs let me by monday or they are going to the trash.

 

Riding high! When are you slapping some tires on there?

 

Havent decided...i want 255's trying to decide if Im gonna ride like this for awhile and eat some more rubber off these tires or try to find a set of used 255's to get me through till I get some new ones. That lift made my 265's look like stock tires.
