209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

@Motofox did you order your coils pre-installed on your shocks?

 

I just ordered from wheelers this week, just send them a PM. They will take care of you

Yep, assembled w/ OME trim packer for driver side installed

 

Put it in the rear!





















That's what she said

 

I like your style, use one mod to justify another. I do the same thing.

 

The wood is all cut to size and just sitting in place. I can’t find my staples, so the carpet will have to wait until I can pick some up tomorrow. I haven’t decided how, or if I’m going to secure them panels down. I want to see how they fit after i stretch the carpet over them. I kind of like the idea of them not being anchored down. It means I can take the whole thing out by myself. Either way, the panel closest to the cab is 1 1/2 inches narrower than the other two. This was on purpose. Once the camper shell is on and in place, I want to be able to have access underbeath that panel. That space will allow me to pick the panel up and back. My bed roll, sleeping bag and pillow will live in a little (yet to be finished) cubby spot underneath it.

 

That's coming out really nice man!

 

6 quarts for $21 is nice.

 

I just bought four 5qt jugs of Mobil at Walmart for $26.xx/ea and Mobil has a $12 rebate for each of them.

A year ago I also bought a box of six 1qt bottles for around $20 on Amazon, and use 1/2 at a time, along with an OEM filter from the case of 10 I bought for $35. Deals can be had on the normal stuff, but I'm still very interested in how well the Amazon Basics works out.

 

You could do something easy like staple velcro loops to the bottom of each section that would wrap around your support bars to hold them in place. Even if they fit snug with nothing to secure them once you hit the bumpy stuff I could see them bouncing out of place and causing a mess.

 

I would do spray glue in addition to staples, looks good tho

 

Agree

 

Good idea. Too late though lol. Carpet was pretty cheap. I will definitely glue it down next time if I need to redo it.

Anyone know where I could get some ADS fronts locally?

 

I don't remember if Marlin Crawler sells ADS or Radflo, but one of them

 

I just called, they only carry rad flo. Price is pretty much on Par with Kings and ADS but I don’t know anything about the Rad Flo.


Does anybody have any experience with Rad Flo?

 

Part tease (its nothing special, but dammit its gold to me right now lol)

 

Looks sweet! I'm pretty sure I'm in for a mod day, it depends on how my week goes. I had to put my lift on the back burner for a super short bit, but I'm down to help with your truck.

 

Hey ill take any help i can get, i know how to turn a wrench but im no mechanic.


I know yall have done this before, but i havnt. Id be there, reading directions and watching youtube videos lol

 

We got ya bro

 

Why not just wait and order what you want (ADS) Its such a big purchase.

 

Just exploring options. I’m waiting on the paypall qoute to buy the ADS. ADS extended length, with resi’s
