209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

Ummm I did a thing too
I downloaded an app. It’s pretty cool



This $1200 app comes with a fridge

 

That is one sexy red truck.

 

Anybody else from the Merced-Modesto area headed to the basecamp meetup in Fremont on April 27th?

 

If you get in a pinch I have some Cooper 265/75/17s you can have for free. Lots of tread but way past the DOT date and are starting to crack a bit. They have been sitting for years as a spare emergency set. You would have to dismount them as I want to keep the wheels.

 

Ah ha!

sooooo..... where can i meet up with you to snag one of those? hahah

 

Arb in my crawler took a big ass dump on my kid this weekend. All the seal cap bolts backed out and one made it all the way between the ring and housing and punch a big hole through it and then wedged itself between the arb body and ring gear. Crazy enough the ring and pinion look almost perfect. Usually when metal is floating around in the diff they are always missing a tooth or two.

Anyone install one of those Barnes4wd diff covers that require cutting out the old housing? I am thinking about going that route.

 

Wow. Random

 

I wonder if those bolts backing out are a symptom of crash locking it. I need to get on pirate and read some of those old threads about arb failures. He says he dosent do that, but you know how that goes. Hard to make yourself come to a complete stop in the middle of a climb just to lock the diff.

 

I think someone just won the chicken the chicken dinner.

 

Just a feeler

I am selling my camping drawer that I built as I’m building version 2.0 right now. It fits perfectly in a short bed, but would work in a long bed. It has made camping great for me to deploy and break down camp very quickly and CLEANLY. DM if you might be interested or know someone who might be as local would be ideal. It’s basically a chuck box work station and can even be your standing table. Looking to recover costs for the 500lb sliders, wood, parts and labor
$700 is not cheap but way better than goose gear

 

Talk to @CalTacoma09 we were discussing what your plans were going to be with it.

 

I would love to make one / buy yours but I just dropped money on an ARB fridge. @foxrcing07

 

make one!!!

 

I've been dinking around with the idea of making a bed slider for my truck. Let's build some shit!

 

You can use my plans

 

I'm in on this.

 

I plan to use extruded AL for the frame

I have the same project in mind in the future. I would love to see you all do it before I do. I really need to finish this bumper, upgrade my front shocks and get a cap first though.

 

It’s not cheap but awesome. My new drawer is all extruded aluminum
