Probably should just buy a Jeep if you're gonna wheel

 

GTFO.

 

I am, don't rush me

 

Should have said hi....they wouldn't have bitten. Lol

Tundra guys were probably gone. They went and added light bars to one of the trucks.

 

Anyone going between Plano and Fort Worth in the next few days? Need some parts moved.

 

I’ll have to pass

 

I have the factory Goodyear tires from my trd off road lifted at 300 miles and put new tires on. Anybody need some new/ used tires? Also I am
New to The group I live up in the allen McKinney area.

 

Welcome aboard. Post those up in the Texas classified sticky for a little more exposure.

 

Just make sure you have enough posts first. Mods are really watching for BST rule violators

 

After the long road trip, the truck needs a little love

 

Have you ever tried the green stuff ones?

 

I need to check my brakes too. Have 47k on them now.

 

No, but aren't those organic and cause a lot of brake dust? I changed the pads about 20-25k ago with some decent semi metallic Akebono pads, but they developed cracks in the pad material. During the trip the brakes developed a little pulsing in the pedal and now I'm starting to hear the wear indicators. Amazon had this Power Stop ceramic pad/rotor set for $20 cheaper than Rock Auto. Wasn't 100% sure about drilled/slotted rotors but figured I'd give them a shot.

 

I’m running them now and I like them other than the fact they do produce a lot of brake dust. They seem to stop better, but when I got to 35s I’ll probaly be looking for some bigger calipers or something

 

I’ve had good luck with that set! Best bang for your buck, w/out a doubt.
Bed them in properly!

 

Anyone going between Plano and Fort Worth? I need some brackets form @Zac of all trades , and will pay cash/beer for your time.

 

I will be going through FW next thursday the 8th around 6 or 7a and then coming back through on sunday the 11th probably around 7p.

 

Ahh the rare and elusive poopicorn novel. Twas a blessing to read sir.

yes! always in the market for truck parts... never seem to be in the market for truck maintenance though. I need to order my hubs already and get my shit fixed!

This is the result of using 2 large breaker bars to install the bolt!

Im going to keep my bent ones as spares. They maybe bent but they can still get me down the trail.

Yeah that was pretty fun, didnt actually break till we got to the top and off the trail though, and i have to say i had done more sketchy stuff that trip though. A bunch of guys in the back of a truck while a guy pins it was a common thing when i was growning up.

Here is me hanging off the side of @ETXTacoma 's truck holding on with one hand while filming the night run. We wont talk about what that loud squeak is though.

Might be able to talk @Silverspool into meeting me for lunch during the week and he can take them back to FTW for you.

 

Ill whore my travels out for some beer
