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

Just knowing I can walk away from my truck at the mall and a door ding wont theoretically happen...FEELS GREAT!

 

I definitely agree here.. theyve been on my list for a while. Ive just been holding back and trying to save money

Good call, i need to look into them a little more.. not entirely sure on what brand i would go with, but definitely looks like weld on is the way to go so i dont have to fight the bolts

That new emoji is so appropriate for this site.. it has caused my wallet so much pain..

Yeah thats one of the main reasons i want them. I also would use them for a step so i could access stuff on the roof better. It wasnt a problem before my lift, but now that it sits 3 inches higher up front it makes things more difficult when tying down my kayak, cleaning the solar panel, and trying to wash the roof of the truck/shell. I would say i wanted them for wheeling.. but that would be a lie since im only 2wd although they probably wouldve come in handy some yesterday if things would have gone terrible wrong.. there were a couple of ruts/ditches that were washed out that made me a little nervous

 

Skipping 15 pages because I'm tired. Hope no one needed me for anything.

I'm exhausted. Now that everyone is gone, I'm left babysitting my brother's dog (she's an angel). However, I walked into work today only to find that a complete shitstorm hit over the weekend and holy crap is there drama on the network. Not at liberty to say what happened other than I am curious to see if there's anything on the national news.

Ok, enough TWing. Time to get back at it.

 

If I had cheap/easy access to a welder I would have welded mine on. That said, drilling holes is pretty easy. Most difficult part is just making the mark because you have to get the slider in position first to mark the hole and those sliders are heavy. I soloed my driver side and that was a pain without help. If you decide to bolt-on and want help give me a holler. I still need to take mine off and redo them at some point since I didn't protect the frame from rust after I drilled

Using them as a step for roof access though is probably the greatest incidental reason for having them. So freakin useful.

 

Thanks for the offer sir!

I think if I do end up getting some I'm just going to get weld on and let Chris do it since he does a stellar job. After seeing the quality of his work, I would trust him more than myself to work on my truck with just about anything.. I tend to screw things up in a hurry

That being said though, if you need some help taking yours off and putting them back on, id be glad to assist you sometime

 

I go off call 18 hours... and I won't be on call for the next T&T event so there is that at least. May have to sneak out there this weekend with the Mrs. If y'all left any mud for me anyway

 

100% agree with this if I do go weld on he’s the man that’ll do it.

 

Also, after seeing @T4Rgurl with her new bumper, I had to search again for my someday bumper... as In after we move, finish the Taco, then I can play with the T4R

But I WANT THIS CBI ONE!!!!: only one I've seen that keeps the angular look of the front with design add-ins

 

There is a group from FB going this weekend:

 

I seent that! would be good timing to go if I am available

 

Anyone looking for a silver 17 scooped hood this just dropped.

 

Stand back for impending TW implosion

 

Do you guys mind if I open this up to the LC crowd?

 

Whats new with TTC? We now have an official Facebook page!

 

where's the like and join buttons!@?!?!?!?!?!

 

You and Tyler ARE the LC crowd! Just send it to him in a PM...

 

In AF!

 

I have no clue. I rarely use FB, somebody help me.

 

guessing you have to make it a closed group and then you approve members. Can also assign people as admin once members too
