209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

Down! I have not ran Niagra Rim but is on list to do this year since it’s right up the road from us

 

Let me know. My brother and I are usually always down for some wheeling.

And I’ll let you know if we do it too.

 

Will do

 

Sup y'all? I'm a local bull sh!ter too

 

Awesome! Another local. Looks like we're getting together a pretty good sized group of guys (and gal as well)

Where in NorCal are you at?

 

Picked up a few more parts for the 4x swap this weekend.


And while I'm on the subject... Bought these from @Tour991, and let me tell you. James is a stand up guy. The transaction was completely 100% seamless. Great communication and pleasant to deal with. I would not hesitate, at all, to do another deal with him.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on a local welder, that can weld steel gussets to cast iron steering knuckles?

Although I've been dabbling with the welder... no way in hell I'm attempting that one on my own.

 

I live in Ripon and they are doing their Almond blossom festival this weekend downtown. I’m new to Ripon but I hear it’s fun Saturday morning. I’ll be around in the AM, might be fun for families as well. Kill two birds with one stone, Tacos AND “family time.” Haha

 

You know, that's actually not a bad idea. I'm gunna see what we've got goiing this weekend. Saturday morning in Ripon doesn't sound like a bad idea to me

 

You know I’ve been looking for you and your truck around town with no such luck

 

I was just at La grange this past weekend to test out the new locker I installed. Seems like they are blocking off a lot of the area for the motos now... less area for the trucks to play in.

 

Welcome Dave
I think we are looking to get a meet up at some point. Just curious do you plan on doing any mods to your truck?

Edit: missed the ray 10s on the rig. You have already been baptized into Tacoma world the realm were full wallets go to die.

 

Yeah I noticed that too last time I went.

Used to be just Drive where ever you want and now it’s all those goofy trails. I’m hoping it’s just a fad.

Still a few good spots but definitely not as fun as it has been.

 

I think most of us fit in that category.

 

yep, I went to the back there is a pretty decent little hill climb back there I needed to test the locker on. fad, I don't know about that. That is probably where they are get most of the money from visitors with motos. I'm just hoping that they have some plans for the truck area as well.

 

Didn’t look like motorcycle trails as much as side by side trails. Too many sharp corners and no runout as far as I could tell.

I drove some of it in my truck, pretty boring.

Like they’re trying to make up trails similar to Hollister. It’s just la grange doesn’t lend itself to it. Would take way too much to maintain what they are trying to do there IMO.

 

I'm down for slick rock and or Niagara rim this summer. I've been flirting with slick rock for like 3+ years now and never made out. This summer it's time to make out

 

Just ask @CalTacoma09 i bug him all the time about slick rock to run it with me

 

and 209 dudes keep it local with the trips. Once you start inviting all of nor cal tacomas shit gets way outta hand. I'm 209 at heart but live 400 miles away. I'm always down for some nor cal rock slashing

 

Make sure and get the swaybar version, or have an extra gusset made up to run the length of the steering arm. I welded mine, but I am not sure I would do it on someone elses rig.
