209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

The winter birds are showing up! Just heard one of these outside. They always show up late September for the winter in 209 area:

 

Look!!!! ARB Fridge for $450. I'm guessing its not the hot though.

What the hell is wrong with it? LOL that shit goes for 1K

 

The title makes me think its hot, "ARB Waterproof fridge" anyone of us wouldn't have called it that. I don't think they realize what it is.

 

2nd picture in the ad corner looks damaged looks like it fell off a truck

 

Those latches and corners do look a little off center if you ask me...even the lock hole isn't lined up.

 

True

 

Then you have a missing bolt on the rear corner...jesus what happened to this thing!

 

(That's arguably even worse...)

 

You'd know now we are twins!

 

Been avoiding the group text only to find The Bromance is real here too

 

Can’t avoid us forever

 

Sweet. I just saw one yesterday in the Emigrant Wilderness. It was buzzing around me while I filled my water up.

Do you know the name?

 

White Crowned Sparrow

 

Anyone exploring or hitting trails this weekend?

 

Alright my TW brothers, you know I do many things well but wrenching ain’t one of them.

My LCA bushings are squeaking like an old Ford. I’ve heard that replacing the bushings on stock LCA is a pain and difficult to make sure they are done right. I’m off road a ton but do I NEED Total Chaos gear? My stock set up has been fine, I just don’t want it to squeak and creak.
Tell me, in your Tacomaworld inspired humble opinion, what should I do?

I leave late October for a 4 day Death Valley trip so trying to get things ship shape. Oh and my 2018 has 93k. Haha

 

Long travel or go home

 

Doesn’t LT=gnashing of teeth and broken CV’s?

 

Now, i dont claim to be the pro-know-it-all. But i planned on going the dirt king route if i dont go LT. I like that it also has grease fittings for the LCA bushings (unsure if TC has them aswell)

While im a function over fashion kinda guy, i also was originally drawn to dirt king b/c it will match my SPC uppers more than a TC "stock" lower would.

Although... if i ever decide to go full LT, id probably go with TC b/c "i dunno, they come up first when i google?"

Im just not a fan of fiberglass body parts which is mostly what keeps me away from LT
