The Lair

Grilling some boneless ribs and chicken breasts in the rain with the grill master general, Benni.

 

Fire is fun. This thing is loud!

We used ones to shrink wrap boats that would shoot a 3ft flame and sounded like you had afterburners on. Since you posted about this one I have been trying to find one but can't.

Here is another way to light fires

 

Omg I need that mini truck

 

@Justanotherhemi did u see what I posted in ur build thread? I was expecting more excitement lol

@Kemosabe FREE FOOD!! I never say no to free food!

@EatSleepTacos drums are easy as shit to do, no need for special tools lol nothing a man with a pair of vise grips cant do! the one spring is a bitch tho, I think its the bottom spring, I did mine last year and that one spring gave me trouble.

 

I got a textured one from a fellow TWer. He asked for the address and sent it to me about 2 months ago. Sorry

 

Looks like a dog catcher

 

if u updated ur build thread I would have known that

 

Yea no thanks. Even though this video is pretty good and explains shit well

 

If you have the specialty pliers for splitting those horseshoe clips and then pinching them together it's a breeze. The screwdriver method works well for the horseshoe clips too. You can get the spring tools dirt cheap.

 

I guess if I had someone that had done it once before and could give me a hand I’d take it on. Feeling a bit more inspired now to try it myself though

 

Even as an experienced tech there are times that drums can give fit and it's always on reassembly sometimes getting the springs back on can be a bear. Take a few pictures of where all the springs go and hook to so that you get them all back into the right spot.

 

it looks intimidating but its easy, just do one side at a time so u can reference to the other side

 

This too ^^^^

 

Added a couple more stickers

• Wheelers W
• Bilstein
• Tacoma express
• Send it

 

Plates are ordered! Went with 4L0 PR0. Not a damn clue when they'll be here, so I'll bug the DMV if I don't get them within a month or two.

EDIT: I see now that it's 4-6 weeks, so I'm in the same boat as Rob.

 

Is there anyone in here with a 12-15 that legit need a pair of FREE OEM headlights? I know a guy. I was going to get them, until I realized that they wouldn't fit my truck.

 

is that the guy where u almost got his tail lights or something?

 

haha yes! Same guy. I was so bummed about missing the taillights.

 

Yup, drum brakes are a pain no doubt. Disc are so much better in everyway lol
