Sliders bolt on or weld on? What do you guys run?

 

Depends on how much you plan to abuse your truck. Mine have been bolted on for 11yrs now with ZERO problems and they have seen some abuse. Slee Off Road Sliders.

 

@Stig

Next project?

 

Bolted on. Wow never knew. I thought they were welded.

 

Getting a good deal on this one. Figure it already has some scratches so I wont mind learning with it. First task is bending the prop back somewhat safe.

 

Mine are bolted on.
I've neglected their upkeep so I'm glad I can pull them off to deoxidize and repaint them.

 

Gets cold at altitude.....
What're you gonna do about the seats?

 

They were brown before the crash... so...

 

47 acres on Mt Bross for $90k...

Mineral rights, can only build mining structures. Sounds like fun.

 

Group buy?

Anyone know of good spots to set up camp at or around maroon Bells? Looking to camp for 2 nights with 2 4runners and a taco

 

Only place I know of is on the other side of Aspen from the Bells, Look at 18 coming out (East-ish) of Woody Creek, if you follow it till end you are up on, I believe, Larkspur Mountain and all kind of trails and camping pullouts up there.

 

I hope the money covers the repairs, 2 fenders, hood, fix tons of dings on roof, possible replace the roof, replace 3 windows on topper.....

jaja, I checked out their website, I little too hardcore for me.

I know what you mean, if it was an older truck I will consider but is too new, hell I just made the first payment, still have 5 more years of payments left.

 

Fingers crossed that the stock tundra brake controller didn't already crap out. But by the Google search results..not looking good.

 

Well that has to be warrantied and don't say a word about the massive shit you have been pulling around.

 

Oh you mean actually towing with my "tow rated" 4wd Sienna

 

Bet you were following the Metric conversion tables when setting the brake controller

 

Main issue is at least one more week postponed for getting the septic backfilled. Not towing equipment without brakes, but glad it happened with the regular trailer and not rented equipment.

Funny part is, a friend said earlier yesterday that the tundras they used for work always had the stock controllers dying on them. And I said that I've used mine a bunch and haven't had an issue, and that maybe they upgraded them on the newer models.

Google says it's a "characteristic of the vehicle" type of problem...long been an issue, Toyota never addressed it.

Still crossing my fingers that's it's this trailer, but the fact that i have lights and blinkers... Just no brakes or trailer symbol lit up when it's connected...

 

I went through it last year. Don't cash the check yourself, let the shop take care of it, if they need more they'll get it from your insurance company. I had about $10k in repairs on mine too. They had to replace the hood and roof entirely, new windshield, pdr all down the pass side. My only regret was not having the shop replace the hood with a skewp one.
