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

Can anyone that has photos from Barnwell bring me digital copies to the next meet? I'll bring my laptop and a external hard drive so space won't be an issue. I just learned a new trick and want to try something.

 

Mayhaps.

 

I have a bunch of photos from 3 different trips to Barnwell. I can throw them on a thumb drive or something. Any particular type of photos youre looking for? I assume you don't just want a bunch of photos of my truck.

 

You need to remember most off road bumpers are built by hand so there will be variances. They weld them in a jig but not all are identical. Next, each truck will be a bit different which will affect fit. Lastly, most bumpers are installed by people who have done it very few times. All these add up to bad fits on some trucks.

Be patient when you install, have some extra hands, especially with a full steel bumper and winch, and don't expect it to like up like a factory part. Pick the bumper that you think looks best on your truck.

 

I want to populate the map I've built of Barnwell with pictures of what's there, actions shots are preferred but anything really as long as you don't mind it floating on the internet.

I'll post what I have as an example.

 

Well, I looked through my photos and I do have a lot, but seems most are either on or near Solihull. I have some shots on Twister too. Otherwise it's a lot of trucks parked/posing at the Rock Garden or camp. You're welcome to use what I have. I can bring them to the next meet, considering I make it.

@Zac of all trades We should lock down a meet date and place soon. Seems like Tacos at the Lake on the 21st is in the lead, but there are no other location options to vote on.

 

Definately agree and thanks for the solid advice. I guess my thought was that they may have changed something recently, or maybe pumping them out quicker with all the demand at the cost of some build quality.
Random thoughts....

 

Looks like a fun trip, kinda wished I would have gone after seeing it all over Instagram and here.

I drove by the Toyota HQ at like 2:30... but didn't stop as was already running behind on the days activities

Wonder if I can get down the Adventure falls this year somehow...

Somewhere in the truck to make it cool and usable instead of sitting at camp...

He won't, he has talked about it way to much to just sell it now.

$3.50

I have a bunch on the computer, I can just send you a link the the dropbox folder that has them in it.

 

That would work, though my internet is shit and I would much prefer to use USB 3.0

 

Well just a thought? Let me know, and I can go through and pic out the ones that are good and such and throw them in a folder and send you the link to them.

 

Also...

I got my tickets...

 

That will work, I just don't want everyone doing that at least until I figure out how to use photo from a EXIF saving website like flickr.

Nerd. Are you going to be wearing your Spock ears also?

 

Yea, I just may not be at the next meet, so yea. Just let me know.

Maybe I was... Maybe I was....

 

Sure why not, I still need to fix my bumper in the back first so I can put my spare back on.

No problem i have the tool that downsouth makes so you can adjust them while they are on because the 90 degree fitting out of the top of the coilover get in the way with the straight adjustment. I think I am about to take my sway bar off while I have the skids off.

 

When @Suprajim54 nuts and @Tundra2Play keeps going

 

If you come down with a welder, @Tundra2Play needs some welding on a back bumper too. What tool are you talking about? I'm hoping these will just bolt right on without any adjustments.

Make sure to introduce yourself to me at the next meet.

 

dang we thought you guys left! that's why we packed up early and left

 

Look how majestic John looks

 

Looking Majestic AF!
