Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

Should make for any potential recovery that much more fun..

 

Hey that’s my shock!

@Texoma is a damn Taco wizard. Lift installed just in time for TnT. See y’all in the morning!

 

Ya he is post some more install pics that’s the only one I got your truck looks great.

 

@rjbiii when you get around to it may I see some pics of the nerf bars.

 

Yessir! I tried mounting them today when i got home but had some serious trouble getting my hand into the boxed portion of the frame on the drivers side to get the nut started.. im going to give it another go in a day or so and if i cant.. i might break down and buy some sliders, and just pay those forward to someone else who could use them

I never dreamed itd be that hard to get them on..

Have any tips? Like should i be shoving the bolt thru and put the nut on the outside?

 

Box wrench and tape?

 

The Magnet pick up put the bolt an washer on before getting into frame once you get it thru the hole use vice grips to hold in place on the outside so you get mount on. It was a pia for me also

 

Good idea, ill give this a shot too.. im having trouble even getting anything into the boxed area of the frame though. There are brake lines or something that are getting in the way..

 

I’ve used wire wrapped around the threads to route bolts through hard to reach spots before.

Gotta take it off to thread them but may help feed the parts to each other

 

I know what you mean put the bolt sideways on the magnet as it mounts an I used jack stands to support the nerfbar huge help there.

 

Thanks for the tips fellas. Ill give it another go!

 

Good luck took me bout an hr to get the driver side front in once I got it taken care of passenger side was a breeze

 

@Kel2427 my shop laptop's battery is bad and won't stay on without being plugged in . Just found that out tonight when I took it out to my truck to make sure techstream and my cable were talking to each other. I will still bring everything but we might need to borrow somebody's bed outlet plug or use yours if you have one? I'll pack an extension cord as well. All this depends too on the rain

I'm all packed up. Have a table, Coleman grill, yeti cooler with bacon, eggs and tortillas. Also have my ez-up loaded to setup as soon as I get there. Im saving two spots next to me for @Texoma and @T4Rgurl as they're bringing a pop up as well to help setup and cook.

Recovery gear is also loaded

 

Tech is offering a new masters program for environmental engineering so i'm saying...

fuuuuck mechanical!

Hoping to make the switch tomorrow. Pretty stoked.

Something to put eggs in after cooked? Cooking utensils? Double checking

 

Yes all of the above

 

So Friday after work I was on my way home and my girl texts me with, "Where are you?". I respond with traffic. She reponds with "In your truck?". And that is when I knew shit had hit the fan. My truck got towed. Not only did it get towed, they lost my flange, so the inner birf scratched the absolute shit out of the wheel, and the rotor hub. I had all the parts and I was ready to assemble everything for tomorrows trip. Now I need more new parts due to their negligence. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it tomorrow in the Cruiser.
