Bottle openers add +35 overland points. Are you new?

 

Are the cams flat?

 

So +70 overland points if you get their rear plate bumper, because it comes with two bottle openers... that will be caked in mud after 5 minutes on the trail: https://www.4wheelparts.ca/p/4-wheel-parts-factory-tacoma-rear-bumper-61448w/_/R-4WPBR-61448W

 

but the swing out maaaaaaaaaaaan. the swing ouuuuttttttt.
that's why you get the +1 bottle opener in the bed stiffeners



i'm considering that bumper to be honest, i've only put some scratches on existing one so far but it's a pain in the ass to wash the mud out from the bumper cap and the rest of the assembly. and mostly for the money, it's not a bad deal at all.
most high clearance bumpers i see start like $1700 CAD before shipping, taxes, border stuff, and bullshit fees.

 

Or something like this!

Bought these years ago, easiest way I could shut the truck up.


I tried one time to use it as a bottle opener while camping with the wife.

It bent and almost snapped, like it was made of wet cardboard. I was able to bend it back with my fingers.

 

The tabs and cams looked in good order. The clean patch is definitely new movement. My steering wheel being straight now lines up with this new movement.

With the knock after tightening, is it possible that the cam bolt assembly just does not grip/clamp enough? Got to grab some larger sockets to set back and re torque again.

 

You got a link to this? I want more succ noises.

Sold out thanks for the link tho!

 

You could always take a normal plate bumper and modify it to high-clearance at a local shop. Trim 3-4" from the bottom of the bedside. Weld a bent tube to the end of the bumper and have it wrap around the bottom of the bedside like a slider. Have another flanged tube connecting it to the frame just aft of the mudflap.

 

-137 overlander points for not finishing the beer before you even leave.

 

Keep checking back. That is how I ended up ordering. Might check E-Bay as well.

 

drinking and driving = lose all overlander points

 

Googled the part number shown in the page? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/284328306184

 

If I'm being honest, I just clicked the link and went "oh well" and continued looking at other parts lol.

 

Looks like it has been found!
I'm thinking of swapping out my rad and heater hoses when I get a rad flush done.

 

Silicone coolant hoses are favored in racing because they tolerate higher temps better. However, they're said to leak more, so you'll be topping up the coolant more often.

 

Need more committment if you want more succ noises.

 

These silicon hoses will come with SS clamps instead of the rusting OEM clamps. So a bonus there.

 

I’ve decided to go a bit of a different direction with my tire/rim set-up — and I’ll be in the GTA tonight thru Sunday — I wanna get rid of these quick, anyone in the GTA want to take them off my hands for an even $1000? I’ll even deliver them (or pick up in 427/Gardiner area).
11k on the generals and have another set of caps with red TRD stickers. They’re the FN FX Pro rims from here on TW wrapped in 265/70/17 Grabber ATX. Pics in spoiler;

I don’t wanna have to bring them back home.
