Ryan's Build

Thanks guys, I bought the rack bout a montha ago by the way

 

Just got rearended and it knocked me into the car in front of me up in boone nc today after doin some skiing at sugar mountian, if the guys insurance thats payin for it pays for factory toyota stuff then it may just be a great time for mr. arb front and prob mr. trail-gear rear bumper

 

your truck would look awesome with mr arb and mr trail-gear. let us know how it turns out

 

i will for sure and those are my plans if everything works out, how u likin your bumper?

 

loving it. tim does kick ass work and shipping was cheap. next on my list are lights and a winch

 

heres a pic i thought looked pretty cool from a ski shop next to sugar mt. in banner elk

 

and heres a few pics from my little accident on the way home, not my fault though





sorry for the sucky pics, it was almost dark

 

Just bought a set of used stubbs welding rocks sliders from a guy today for 100 bucks! no pics just yet because its dark outside, ill try to get some up tomorrow. i also got the estimate in the mail from the wreck i was in the other day and they are allowing me $560 for a new front bumper and $312 for a new rear, i am gettin an arb for the front for sure, i know the $560 wont cover the whole price of an arb but it most deff be a big help, dont know if i will go back factory on the rear or not, havnt decided yet but im leanin toward the trail gear one since it has a built in hitch and its only $275

 

I would get the all pro bumpers front and back, but thats just me

 

i hear timicha is working on a new rear bumper. do you want plate or tube?

 

Well, I'm not a fan of tube front bumpers at all because I don't like the look of everything being exposed exposed, yea I've heard about the plate rear bumpers he is making but have not seen one yet, I kinda like the tube rear bumpers though because of how they wrap around and provide protection for the bedside without haveing to do any cuttting on the bed, which is not an option for me, I would be interested in takin a look at one of his rear plate bumpers though

 

Ordered my arb front bumper yesterday, got me a fresh coat of black on my sliders and got em ready to wield on, heres a pic below, still thinkin on what to go with for the rear but im leanin toward allpro

 

I like allpros stuff.. did you buy your sliders or did you fab them? they look real nice

 

thanks but i actually bought em off a guy for 100 bucks and gave em a fresh coat of black paint! but stubbs wielding makes em, look em up, i like them cause they have a slight kick out but it comes out at an angle so it dont just really stand out and they are really beffy made units too

 

yeah I really like that subtle kickout

 

those sliders look good

 

yea im tickled with em for the money, i havnt even really looked into what the actually cost online, i think there like 350-400 range before shippin, i will say they are good quality stuff though, i would recomend there stuff to anybody

 

im still debatin on the rear bumper, the factory bumper just has two small dings in it now, im thinkin on just leavin it and usin that money to help pay for my arb front cause i dont mind the look of the rear bumpers, dont like the plastic fronts at all though

 

I love Banner Elk! Lees McRae is up there, I toured it a while back. Too small for me though.

 

yep its really like a 1/4 mile from that pic, its on the same road cause there as lil ski shop called edge of the world right down there that we go to and i pass the college every time i go there
