    No worries just let me know either way, just thought I’d offer it to the crew first, before I put it out there. $350 you can have it. If not I’ll probably sell it Local

    The wife spun up a template for the little recovery kit. Pelican 1600 should do just fine for the grab and go weekends. Got a few Crosby shackles via Factor 55 when I ordered the Flatlink, managed to stuff that in there with some no name “has an nsn#” 20ft Kinedyn Strap, along with a 30ft snatch strap. Best thing about it is aside from the paint on this thing, case and contents are 100% “Made in Merica”. If anyone has any pointers on what else to add in there, I’d appreciate the feedback. Have a great week!

    I'd suggest adding...
    1. Tree strap
    2. Snatch blocks
    3. More shackles
    4. A pair of trailer hitch drawbar pins (the cheap ones that hold the drawbar in) for people with a hitch but no other recovery points
    5. Couple pairs of gloves
    6. Cheap Harbor Freight strap to loan to someone who has nothing. Don't expect it back

    Roger that,

    (2) Master pull snatch blocks one for steel and one for synthetic (self-centering) just gotta pull it out of the storage.

    More shackles I can get more from Factor 55 since the appreciate freedom.

    Last 3 on the list definitely doable, gonna see if I can jam them all in there.

    Thanks Boss!

    Turns out I have to get all of our remaining stuff out of the old house this weekend and am reaching out for some help. If you can swing it, I could use your help on Sunday loading stuff at the old house and then unloading it here where we live now.

    Message or text me for details, thanks in advance.

    all-pro says they want me to send the leaf pack back to them...well seeing as its my daily thats not going to happen. so I suppose ill be making one of those brackets. I believe i have a bit of scrap steel around somewhere so this should cost me roughly 0$

    @G.T. we got soccer lined up this weekend, along with whatever the wife has going on. But I’ll look into scrubbing the Sunday schedule. I’ll let you know by Thursday if we are good to go. Sound good?

    I’ve got a stock set of leafs here you can borrow for the time being if needed. We can fab up some - shuddering just thinking it - blocks to make up the difference.

    Check my build thread...too much to list.
    The wife and their hula group have a performance Sunday so I’ll have the kids for a bit. Once that’s over I’ll give you a ring and try to head over.

    With a little push from @ChandlerDOOM I'm going to try and start selling pre-wired RTMR boxes here on TacomaWorld. I was thinking of starting with a small run of 5 boxes just to gauge interest and profits. This first run would be low profit margins to me. It's literally a dry run to see if this is something I could make work in my free time. Each RTMR would come pre-wired with 5 circuits. Relays are included but not fuses. I can make battery cables for an additional cost. For this first run. Each RTMR would cost $80 per. If anyone here is interested please PM me for more details. Here are a few pictures of the last one I did.

    Thanks guys. I still have my stock ones as well. I think I'm going to fab up a bracket myself or even just look online. I found some options for less than $20. I just feel like it will be less of a hassle. I also have pretty terrible luck when it comes to anything to do with shipping..

    ....so when is the next mod day? :sawzall:

    so my steering wheel isn't exactly aligned since my adventure at moonlight. I checked my tie rods and other suspension components and nothing appears to be bent or broke.

    has anybody else dealt with this and is it something we could take care of on mod day?
