Oh, boatymcboatface toys are the only gift I know! ;p

Thanks and hopefully I meet you there!

 

I've been missing you're snarky comments and wondering how you are.
Glad you can type again!

 

i started shopping for new suspension so i had to come back for some research haha

 

Hey guys. Look at this!!!

Anyone from the Keene NH area headed to the toys for tots run? I need to get @crashngiggles TW express stickers and he has goodies for me.

If not I have winter break coming up from school and can plan a trip down to you!

 

Just a reminder, don't forget about the toys for tots run on Saturday!

 

Anyone going on the Northeast Adventure Company 'Santa Slay Ride' this weekend?

 

A little too far for me sadly :-\ I'm desperate for something but a 4 hour one way is just too much sadly

 

Anyone else got anything coming up?

 

my rocker fix got pushed to first week of January. Then I gotta get skids figured out and my sliders painted and back on again. Probably nothing until the spring for me

 

Spring is tough around here, it's about the only season we can't wheel around here. It's mud season and not the rip it up it's fun type of mud. It's the season we need to stay off the trails so that we don't cause serious damage to them .

 

Hit up my boy @JDUB-Fabrication he makes some great skids! He can also weld, what's wrong with your rocker?

 

Yup! Depends on the timing. Usually April/May can be doable depending on the trails. March is usually still too doodoo, but this year down here wasn't, we had no snow.

I don't actually have a picture, somehow. But basically same damage as this guy:

tanked it somewhere. Mine is the same as his, dented the rocker but didn't push it up into the door, PDR guys going to hit it, told him I don't care about warranty and whatnot, it's a woods truck, I just want it to look better and not rust. Was slated for this week but when I got there he asked if we could push it out since he's having some staffing stuff. It's been there since sometime in May so...what's another 2 weeks? But, can't put my sliders back on until this is done, and with today's snow and then likely in January not going to want to crawl under there and be freezing to deal with it all, I'll wait.

 

Hidden rock in mudhole went smash, remember it like it was yesterday!

Looking for a BAMF style clone skid for my rear diff, hate to pay 500$ for one skid, your buddy do those?

 

The rear diff is already ridiculously thick. Unless you back onto a rock you're not gonna smash it. The rear is where the thinnest metal is, the rest of the rear diff is beefy.

 

im aware of that, i just hate to see her get all smashed up when its preventable. That and last diff fluid change i had to chisel metal away from around the bolt head to pull the plug

 

New to the tacoma family. Would love to get my truck on a light trail. Slowly building it to an overland rig (never been overlanding before). Located in Southern rhode island. Also looking for a tonneau cover or bed cap so I can carry more shit in my truck. Have the wife, a 12 year old, a toddler and a bun in the oven. Oh and my German shepherd puppy co-pilot
