Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Technically I can’t charge for my services because it would be “competing” with my current job.

It is part of the wildland fire thing. Gotta go through a lot of training to be allowed to cut down trees that are on fire and hazardous.

 

You can just trade. Surely he has something you need

Or you burn the trees. He puts on your sliders lol

 

I'm coming from Wichita so I'm going to go up I-35 to Salina and then taking I-77 west to Denver and then going to Loveland to meet my friend that had those fenders you transported for me! I'm not exactly sure where we are going I have a group of about 5-10 people and a couple of them went out to lower altitude since Breckenridge got 8in of snow recently.

 

Soooo not only do I need to replace my valve cover gasket, but my oil pan gasket is leaking too might as well do the CV axle while I'm down there, but I'm not looking forward to it. The truck is much more fun, no need to flatten yourself out like a pancake under the car. Have no idea when we will get to it, @Slashaar has been pretty popular lately.

 

A 3 inch lift probably would have made things a lot easier for me today, lol.

 

Is it bad if my biggest motivation for suspension is to get a couple extra inches of space when crawling underneath my truck?

 

Nope it’s a great thing to have haha

 

You get the lift on?

 

they've probably got it all on now, @Slashaar updated me a bit ago

 

Had to sawzall a bolt on leaf spring. Tate on road trip to get a new one.

Josh and I are about to work on other side while he out.

 

Surprised 2fang doesn’t stock all those bolts. That’s what I would do

 

Those look good enough that they could be the Pilsbury ones out of the cans!! Nice job.

 

Nice man

 

Looks good! What all did you install?

 

Thanks!

"Death Wheel"

Not saying I couldn't have found one hanging around, but got new shiny grade 8 bolts. And now I know what size we can use.
Also got two spares now.....

 

no, is it necessary?

2nd gen 4wd seem to be plenty high off ground as stock as it is
at least for spraying undercoating stuff it was, no need for a ramp or jack here on my relatives 2nd gen
plenty of shoulder room, but my 1st gen has not much shoulder room, gets stuck easily, and always rubbing the FF on the clothes sux it big

 

You also don't like using creepers and prefer to drag your ass on the ground.

 

oh, i did not realize you were using one of those!
i cannot use a creeper on my shoulder because my other shoulder would be way too high getting stuck on something somewhere, so i have to squirm around on the shoulders on the ground like a snake lol
its quite awkward! and very time consuming sometimes trying to wiggle it back out from under
