Midwest West Meets/Midwest BS Thread

Ahh gotcha, nevermind, carrying on, moving on

 

It may be worth a shot. It's been years, but, If I remember correctly, the BOEShield didn't protect my painted steel running boards for as long as I thought it should have. I bought the truck used and the underside of the running boards had surface rust on them. I washed them off with my pressure washer and coated them with the BOEShield. Insert northeast Illinois winter, The next spring, When I crawled underneath the truck to wash it, and the undersides of the running boards were actively rusting again. I don't remember what I put on next, but I didn't keep the truck much longer, so the data is lost.

No, I didn't do a side by side comparison with another product; no, I didn't take pictures, I know, forty lashes with a wet noodle. Would FF or CF3000 done any better? Who knows. I wasn't into doing DOEs (Design of Experiments) back in those days.

 

Going to have a set of factory 2020 TRD OR front coils/shock assemblies and rear shocks with 170 miles on them for sale next week if anyone is interested. I'll post pics when the time comes.

 

instant rust remover button
right by the dimmer knob

 

Holy cow that is what that knob is for

 

i am about to order $546 in parts for my tacoma, please stop me

then head to the salvage lot and bang on 2 tacoma frames 1995 and 1996 recent arrivals to the lot (black and blue)
score me some possibly crusty rope hooks with my new impact tool
new ones are $10 each x 4

 

$546 sounds like a nice down payment


…you are dropping $546 but skimping on $40 of rope hooks? wtf

 

salvage lot probably does not want that much for them, if i can remove them (no stripped screws)
sand and paint them, dress up the back with different colors
red, blue, quicksand, army green...

 

found this custom rig in the south Omaha lot

95.5 4 bangar

 

Looks toast....but maybe some salvageable parts.

 

IDK, interior was already gutted
but did have some fancy aftermarket seats filled with glass

 

it did have the manual hubs ... some on TW are after those

 

You are looking at a set of those wheels right? Is it a complete set?

 

darn, now i have to go back and look at them wheels again
the 96 on the lot i have to go back and remove the topper to get the rope hooks
this frame was completely roasted, sold in Iowa @ Bluffs

 

Seems like a lot of time and energy to save $40..

 

i just wanna use my new impact tool, the lot is not a far distance away and just $2 entrance fee
also, i will need to disassemble the interior to find the squeak and wind rattle source on mine before i tear it apart behind there to make it stop

 

this is now



this is what i started with 3 weeks ago

 

welcome to my nightmare...
