Tacos in St. Louis area

Wait, you have one as well?

 

Well, I did my first bit of offroading here in Utah. I followed a service road up to the top of some mountain. I climbed about 2000 feet in a little over a mile, so the road was quite steep. I was really impressed with how the truck handled going up and down. I'm definitely going to have to find some more trails during my stay here.

 

Won’t be able make it this weekend, you guys enjoy shooting the shit, and getting some mods done.

 

@Rilla you heading out today?

 

Nope. The girlfriend is in town. Cardinals game today.

I do want to install my lift and bumper soon. Next mod day I'll make it out

 

Things on my to-do list for today:
Oil change
Diff oil change
Plugs and wires
UBJs
Exhaust repair
Clean it for the first time in a year
And a few other things

If I'm lucky I'll get two of them done.

I really wish there was a good group closer to home that could help me. @G.T. 's Mod Day would be awesome but it's just too far for a day trip.

 

Hey guys, Im here in the STL MO area. Looking for someone who knows their shxxt when it comes to drive lines and perhaps one piece driveshaft conversions or at very least who understands driveline geometry and who can help me with my 16.

Sorry but trying to understand, are you guys a shop that works on the Toys or?

 

G.t. has a large garage/shop in his backyard. Lots of tools to work with. We just meet up and work on trucks together to save money vs taking it into a shop. And to learn. Mainly toyotas.

 

Like Jessy said, we get together at my place and help each other get projects done. It’s mostly suspension swaps but we’ve tackled quite a few other projects as well with success. The next one will be next month so keep your eye on this thread as that’s where the announcement about the date is made.

 

What do you need help with? Figuring out what to do or installing a drives is no problem.

 

Would anyone here be interested in purchasing my Thule feet and bars off of me. I'd prefer to sell them locally rather than post them to the for sale adds. I can bring them to the next mod day.

You would need to purchase the rails and the feet dont have key locks.

 

Dang, I had a Harbor Freight one that I "recycled" when I moved down here to AR, they are pretty cheap and I got no interest on Craigslist at the time. I highly recommend packing the tubes with sand and welding caps on before attempting a bend -- otherwise, it will likely kink. Ask me how I know. You could talk to the guys at Shapiro, they may be able to hook you up with someone that can do the bends that you need for a small fee if you buy the steel from them.

 

Can we schedule this next mod day to be sooner rather than later. Any more waiting and I'll be tempted to sell my bumper again. The sooner the mod day, the sooner everything gets installed

 

The most adorable flat bed I have ever seen.

 

any suggestions for brake upgrades?

 

Stoptech if you have the dough

I did this and it definitely made a difference. Cost a lot less that any other brake kit and it's all stuff you can get at just about any parts store.

 

Forts Trail Team will be at my place FRIDAY around five. They are heading to an event down south and were looking for a place to camp along the way.

Feel free to drop by to socialize for a bit if you like.

EDIT: I got the dates mixed up.

 

I wonder if this is possible on 3rd gen

I may stop by, I have to pick up my Uncle from Mid-America airport around 8pm, maybe I'll leave early and just hang out with you guys for a bit.
