Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

I keep it on the roof in this.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I like the look of that bumper. It looks like it might have a worse departure angle than stock, which really doesn't make sense.

 

Happy Taco Tuesday

 

That looks like a cool spot! Where is this from?

 

It's a forest road in Spearfish Canyon SD. It's near the Dancing with Wolves filming site.

 

@Thatbassguy
Lol...
Front?
Trying to help you spend that money!

 

..

That looks pretty good.

I had my mind set on the C4 bumper.

Skids! I need skids!

 

how and where do 2nd gens frame rot, out of curiosity

i found where mine rots (after six long months of relentless hassle) and am in the works to nip it in the bud

 

Taking my truck in Thursday to the line-x guys in Kenosha to have them spray the bottom and do the rust proofing in all the drain plugs. Hope y'all didn't forget "Winter is Coming"

 

2nd gens go bad on inside frame behind tires next to the cats and in the middle where box frame transitions to c-channel the two pieces squose together start to delaminate and push apart.

 

you have more than one cat?

is there a drain hole problem

 

1 on each side attached to the manifolds

 

did Toyota do anything to advise you on how to remedy the problem?

they seem pretty ignorant to me the many times I contacted them about my old truck

 

no remedy's new frame lol

 

I need sliders... Another fucker hit my car. Again. I know because I washed it in the rain today

 

Here's a link to where I got mine.

Between them and my habit of parking ridiculously far away from everything, I have no dings or scratches other than the ones that I and the dealership put there.

 

Hmmm. That bumper isn’t finished yet and looks like it drops down to add protection for the top of the skid.

 

I’m the guy that parks across the street from the store. The closest I’ve ever parked to anyone is on the day we all went to Chi-Town4x4.
My obsession of dents pisses my wife off. I told her the money I made on my 2015 she should understand. That truck was cherry! No scratches or dents. Zero... I also waxed it every 2 weeks and hand washed it every few days. Funny they put it right in their used showroom after just a wash. I paid less than that when I bought it new.($23,349) With the tax savings and trade I got just over $21k out of it after 2 years.


Interior was new. No scratches on the panels /radio/or interior

My wife laughs about me off-roading my new Truck. I told her it’s different when some asshat at work dents it vs I scratched it having fun.

That’s a beautiful thing. All the 1st responders and military.

If it wasn’t for a volunteer firefighter in a small town in Michigan, I wouldn’t be here. He pulled me out of my burning apartment and I was transported to the burn unit in Kalamazoo. I’m living today because a team of men ran into a fire to pull me out. No words or tears can ever thank them. I’ve also been blessed to have seen 3 stepsons join the military. So proud to have seen all 3 graduate basic. 1 Marine and 2 Airmen. Ha, even my stepdaughter in-law is Marine.

Thanks to all that serve and all those who served.

 

Anybody near Genesee? Tornado touched down there. Hope everyone is safe.

My brother is just north of there and said something hit his house. Not sure what yet. They were hiding in the basement. Hopefully no damage.
