might help?

 

That’s a great deal. Just go get them before someone else does. If mine weren’t welded in I would of snatched them up. 3 hrs is nothing.

 

I hear people complaining all the time about Caliraisedled’s stuff rusting within a few months.

 

Ive not heard good things about them either. I was thinking maybe the instal instructions might help lol.

I’m looking at RCI and WarFab for sliders right now. WarFab has 15% off this week too

 

really

 

Already reached out first thing this morning and I'm second in line. Fingers crossed the first guy falls through

 

Good evening fellas! I had to pull the rear driveshaft back out of the 4runner to isolate a new noise. While running around in front wheel drive the noise/vibration is gone, so I can say that the double cardan joint is just fooked... I was trying to leave in the next few days for the drive to CO to hit the Alpine loop and Black Bear Rd. The cost of a new driveshaft isn't in the budget, that's for sure. I was looking at some used Sumitomo Encounters AT's on the FBMP, they are a stock size for the Taco tires. I'm tore about trying to get to CO in the Taco ( I know the seats will kill my back ) but I could build a simple sleeping rack in the bed and have the topper for protection, so it would be decent truck camping.

I was just dead set on taking the 4runner, it's the better vehicle for the trails w/ the smaller overall dimensions, slightly more powerful engine ( 3.4 vs 2.7 ) and the OE rear locker. It would be much tighter sleeping quarters ( with a platform inside on the pass side ) and use a lot more fuel but slightly more comfy seats. Is anyone parting out a 3rd gen 4runner? I need a good driveshaft...

 

EO slider install update…as frustrating as not having instructions is (thanks @hyrule_trd for trying to help), Dusty called me to walk me through it and answer questions. Unfortunately, I was at work and it was too late to call back. That means something positive with me (although posting a video on YouTube or a pdf would be less manpower intensive). It seems like whenever I get frustrated with these guys, they do something to try to make it better ($50 refund because build/ship process took longer than expected, good TW discount code, calling me). It’s hard to NOT support them and throw them business for whatever I need because these little things mean the customer is a priority, which is a characteristic that is diminishing in the US marketplace (imho). Not a paid advertisement, just some ass-in-recliner reflection about this whole experience.

 

Just had a good business idea…Amazon install business: a customer could pay an additional fee to have you come out and install their car/home items for them. Specialize in a series of specific products if you’d like. Get a van and get notified when the item arrives at its destination (do all of the scheduling/payment via Amazon).

Donate my portion of the profits to St Jude’s Children’s hospital.

 

Mornin’ neighbors- sorry about my rant last night, that’ll be the last time I mix codeine cough syrup with monster energy drinks! (J/K)

 

did you get them installed? I ended up coincidentally meeting a guy from that company‘s off-road group at the meet up this weekend. He had one of their first prototype sliders on his truck. I can reach out to him if you need me to.

 

Mr. Worldwide over here!

 

Morning MD

 

Being single and having no kids has its advantages at times!
Anybody trying to hit some trails this weekend?

 

"Anybody got some of those trails man???"

Hahaha... Jk man

 

Friggin’ hilarious!!!

 

That was great couldn’t stop laughing!

 

Serious though this is going on this weekend.

 

I'm probably going to that. I'll be coming from Southwest VA

 

I just sold this 170k mile 4runner last week for a grand. If I still had it I would've let you switch out the driveshafts.
