The Lair

Any of you cats out black fridaying making a line outside of stores to get $20 off a chineese tv?

 

Cyber monday is where it is at. I ride past best buy around 10 am. Probably 200 ppl out there for a sale that doesn't start until 5

 

Do you have your eye on anything B?

 

I ended up canceling my snorkel. I need new leafs! I parked on level ground yesterday for the first time in awhile and came to terms with the fact I need new leafs. I’m gonna get HD dakars and also add an AAL for like 1,000 lb capacity.

 

You'll like the Dakars with the AAL. Good setup. Love mine!

 

Nope working black friday. Most of the shoping is done. Family tradition only hand made gifts are to be given. Wish i can give someone sewing leasons. Getting tired of ugly sweatshirts.

 

Not really needing nything except armor for the truck. The big brake kit has taken precedence over everything else for now tho. Ordered the rotors and dust covers.....will get the calipers and pads in a couple weeks

 

damn I was going to say feel free to ship it up my way hahaha

don't you have the TRD exhaust?

I had a GMC Jimmy, same story, pos, but I still loved that thing. I wish I had taken the time to figure out and learn how to diagnose the problems I had with it. 4x4 didn't work and if it rained or was winter I had to plug the block heater in so it would start. and it chewed wheel bearings like crazy, probably cuz the big ass tires I has on it, which were also bald mud tires lol those don't do well in the winter, especially with no 4x4 lol

 

Did you go 5th gen runner or the Lexus?

 

Nope I've got a stock exhaust with a reroute

 

That’s what I have now! Old style dakars with aal that I bought second hand. About 3 years old with ~50,000 hard, overloaded miles on them. They treated me well and they’ll continue to treat someone else well so long as they don’t have much weight at all. Gonna pass them along to someone for $100.

 

$100 shipped? Asking for a friend

 

$100 shipped as long as it’s within 20 miles of my house

 

Let the show begin.

PEER PRESSURE. Just put bids on 2 vehicles.
I used to buy wrecked vehicles. Friends have been pushing me to start up again. So lets see where it goes.
Booth mt booth 4x4 booth 4.0. The fj is a vehicle inspection failure. Not sure what that is but may find out.

 

FJ is probably a cali thing like Japan does. Because cali. In all seriousness I have heard some states requiring a vehicle inspection after a total loss rebuild caused by an accident to deem them safe to be on the road again. I am not 100% pos on this though. All I know is NC rebuild title stuff.

That tacoma looks pretty damn ruff. If in your ventures you run across a 07+ Tundra 5.7l rear axle for under 1g let me know asking for a friend

 

Will keep my eyes out for one.

 

I've found a few, just can't pull the trigger yet. These things are beefy 10.5" ring gear 1.5" 35 spline axles and only a couple " wider than the taco. Just gotta get a driveshaft shortened and the correct flange welded on. This incorporates like 2 swaps in one go!

 

Looks like mike may have one.
Will call him tomorrow. He us one of the friends pushing me back in repairing. Maybe because he owns the salvage yard i frequently visit.

 

Dude if you got the hook up that would be awesome! Ask him if he'd be willing to ship?
