Finally Getting Around To It Build

From Key West last week, to Acadia National Park in Maine this week! Not the best time to visit Maine but still beautiful! Will definitely be back again, but in the summer! Truck has been handling the weight pretty well and getting the same fuel mileage as normal. Anyways heres some pics!

 

Looking good in here!

 

SOOOO this happened today...








Long story short, is don't go too fast on hard packed snow. Luckily, the only injury is a sore elbow. About 5-10 mins later a guy came by and knew a guy in town with a skid loader and was able to flop me back over. Flopped her back over and there was only a few dents. No broken glass or anything too bad. The camper shell got a little tweaked but it still works for what I need it for. Thank god for the snow, pretty sure it softened the whole situation. Once it was flopped back over, I check over everything to make sure there wasn't any leaks or anything that seemed out of place and everything was good. Started right up and drove it home with no issues. Total damage was 2 dents in the bed, camper shell and roof rack moved, camper shell tweaked a little, dent in the door, and a dent in the fender. Heres a few after pics.

 

Damn. Glad you’re ok.

 

Thanks man. Truck still runs like a champ and just has a few new battle scars

 

A professional could probably fix the dents if you care. I made pretty good progress on mine with a heat gun and a harbor freight suction cup.

 

Yeah I'm not too worried about the dents. I'm pretty sure I can get a majority of them out. Only one I'd really like to fix is the one on the fender since its keeping me from opening my door all the way.

 

Damn that’s crazy shit! You and the truck are both pretty lucky!

 

Yeah, someone definitely must have been watching over me!

 

You hear anything more about those AP skids? After that thread that went down a couple weeks ago, sounds like they are not what they used to be.

 

I haven't heard anything. What happened?

 

Here's the link to the thread I was referring to:
https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/all-pro-your-customer-service-is-terrible.530306/

 

Oh yeah, I did see that. I haven't had any problem with them but I haven't dealt with them since last year.

 

I also only bought my skids from them. I got my bumper off of craigslist.

 

Hopefully it all works out. Seems like skids would be a fairly easy product for them to get out compared to their Apex bumpers that were the issue in the other thread.

 

Hey dude,
Ive got the same rear bumper. I am wondering what tire carrier you ordered? Is it custom or did you find one that you could just weld on?

 

I got my rear bumper off a guy on craigslist who made the bumper himself. I don't think he ordered a tire carrier, I think he made it himself.

 

Did All Pro ever respond at all. Any apologies given?

 

I think the guy said he got his money refunded to him by PayPal but that was it.

 

Parts are starting to roll in! I got some traction boards(mainly to help other people out of the snow up here), Wheelers extended brake lines, King coilovers, and some Total Chaos UCAs that haven't come in yet. Come spring or whenever it warms up, I'll be installing the Kings, TC UCAs, and extended brake lines.

KINGS!
