DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Its 4 12mm bolts that are threaded from up top and screw into the winch bracket. So, a ratcheting box wrench works best. A socket/ratchet will hit the bottom side of the bed. I just removed the 4 bolts reused the rear holes and drilled two new 7/16" holes further back. Took less than 30 mins to do.

 

Sounds easy. I hadn't looked at it.

 

Then you can take three spares

 

And just like that, while waiting for a a load of clothes to dry... my spare tire winch is no longer under the truck... Less stuff to be in my way under the rear of the truck when checking stuff.

 

This is @20k after changing it @10k for the first time. For $18 and 15 mins of time I find it worthwhile.

 

Don't tempt me.

 

Worth it.

 

So i assume 275 x70×17 fits no problem as well.

 

From what I've read, yes. I can't say for sure since I havent put a tire under the bed since before moving up to 285's. I have my spare on my swing out now.

 

Anyone running an HID Kit on their 3rd gen? Tired of reading a pile of posts arguing over the validity of flash light testers. Looking for a recommendation from someone that's already driving around blinding oncoming traffic like god intended.

 

Don’t be that asshole.

 

I love my Amazon LED's in my halogen housings.

 

Im did the rx350 retro fit over a year ago. I may or may not blind people. I've only had brights flashed at me a few times.

Do you still have the ecgs tools? I need to instal mine sometime.

 

Yessir. I pretty much have a full kit now. Magnet tool, seal puller, bearing puller, bushing driver and a pvc cap to drive the seal in. I'll be out of town Oct 12-21 but can get it to you anytime before or after.

 

Cool, we'll work it out sometime. Im not in a rush.

 

@Tx4X4TACO Here's the DFW thread so you can keep up with the local meets, there are plenty of local TTC members already active in here, plus @ETXTacoma he's not really from around here but likes to pretend so he feels cool

 

Says the guy that is about to not even live in the state...

 

Do you actually tell people you’re from DFW?

 

Well I normally have to say I am about 100 miles SouthEast of Dallas when they ask where Tyler is... so close enough.

 

I'll be at the meet, will you?
