209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

Welcome to the 209 area thread @Chip@gui

 

Thanks

 

​

Well on the way in I needed to hit the trail so I only stopped once and on the way out I was too tired to get out of the truck. so here it is.



Hiked close to 20 miles in three days 14.5 of them x-country. Mosquitoes were horrendous but the Wildflowers were awesome...





My Taco allowed me to get to places in a three day trip, that would normally take 4-5. I love this truck

 

So it sounds like weekends would be best for everyone

July 21st or 22nd sound like a good tentative date for everyone who wants to participate in a meet?

 

I'll be their time and location?

 

To be determined, does either day work for you?

 

So cool!

 

Well... Finally going to do the Tundra swap.
Ordered the brake lines, rotors, brake pads, and wheel cylinders.

Have my eye on a spotting scope on Ebay... if I don't win it, I'll be ordering the rear drums, hardware, shoes, and front calipers tomorrow... if I win the spotting scope, I'll be relegated to ordering the rest next payday... (kind of hope I don't win the spotting scope).

Here's the rest of the parts I'll be ordering.

I'm rebuilding the rear brakes because they have 275,000 miles on them and I've never even replaced the shoes.

 

Well... I didn't get the spotting scope I was watching on Ebay. So I ordered the drums, shoes, and hardware kit for the rear. I'll be ordering the calipers soon. No rush though. Most of the parts wont be here till the 10th and the calipers can get here in 2 days.

 

Should work for me.

I think I'd be down for something that weekend. I should have my brakes all taken care of by then.

 

Are we talking a local meet up? I'm down any time for that. A meet up going to the hills... July 21st or 22nd is good for me. Not wanting to go on a run to the hills till my brakes are sorted out.

My brakes are skeeeeetchy right now. lol

 

I've actually been meaning to scout out Herring Creek area, this year, before hunting season.

 

Ok Meet up July 22
8:30-9:00 Krispy Kreme Riverbank
9:00 head out to La Grange
After people get sick of La Grange head back to Last Call Brewery in Oakdale

Sounds like a blast. Bummed I’ll be out of town that week. Next time!

 

I could possibly come up through Snelling. Any offroad plans, other than La Grange?

 

If I'm not up scouting I'll be there. I'll know before hand and will let you know.

 

Do you have to be 4WD to go?
i might be in if i'm not out of town.

 

Nope 2wd is fine La Grange is pretty tame
There isn’t anywhere where you couldn’t back out or be pulled thru easily
