Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Had some good sunlight/weather today. So we decided to switch gears and paint some shit.




And when we mounted the new rack, I noticed the roof was hammered. Clear coat was pretty much gone, and I was down to primer in spots.

 

Looks good. Now there is something straight on the truck again. What product did you use? Rattle can? Will be interesting to hear how it holds up.

 

Raptor Liner. Should hold up better than the clear coat lol.

 

How many cans did that take you?

 

2 cans for the rocker area, 1 can for the roof.

Just bought another can for the flares.

 

Hey Guys, Fernando lost his phone and most of the contacts in it. He's requesting that if you have his number you shoot him a text.

 

What kind of idiot doesn't back up to Googles or Apples servers? Nevermind. lol

 

I have a pair of CBI ditch light brackets I’m looking to get rid of if anybody is looking for a pair.. I’m in the Sacramento area..

 

I saw a black or MGM 3rd Gen in Placerville Coming back from South Lake Tahoe on 50 yesterday around 2 pm, and it had a grill I had never seen before. It was a Pro style grill but instead of TOYOTA in the middle it had lights there like this one on Amazon:

I thought it looked pretty good, and different than every other pro grill. Maybe swap out the cheap LEDs for a 12-18" light bar?

 

Anybody making a run to San Diego and back up in the next few weeks? Just ordered the fiberwerxs 4" bedsides . I set it up for pick up because $300 shipping was a little too crazy for me lol

 

Cross posted in TW Express thread as well

@Whitebutler or anyone else up in the Redding area...

Would anyone be available to pick up a set of leaf springs in Redding?

 

Thats about an hour and 45 min north of me, but if you can get them a little closer, maybe chico then I could help you out.

Don't forget about this thread too... even tho nobody ever posts in it https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/chico-redding-area-bs-thread.400218/page-16

 

@El Taco Diablo
After this last fire its been tough to get weekend time to drive. I wouldn't mind if I get to Redding this weekend I'll check plans with the wife and work schedule. I'll let you know.

 

I binge watched For All Mankind on Apple TV+. It's a series that takes the history of the space program starting with Apollo and re-writes it using actual footage and some video trickery to play "what if". You get women in the space program as both astronauts and management, moon base and mining. Drama with the Russians, Apollo/Soyuz docking. All that in a mix of historical twists.

I thought it was pretty well done though maybe not something that deserved as many episodes. Would recommend.

 

The deed is done.

 

That is looking really sharp.

 

thank you sir

 

Figured I’d ask here since I’m not sure where else to go.

I’m heading down to Benicia before Christmas to pick up some sliders and my vagabond drifter camper after a very long wait. Anyone with a garage / open space I could use temporarily to install the sliders? I’d rather not haul them in the bed all the way back to WA and get them on while down there.

I have all the necessary tools so really only need the space...a second set of hands would be nice but not required. Trying to avoid the scenario where I install these in a Walmart parking lot or something lol.

Feel free to DM if you can help. Happy to incentivize with beer if need be.

 

You’re more than welcome to come to my place, but I’m nearly to Lake Tahoe. But if everything else falls through, I’m game. Just for reference, I live in Camino, CA. From Benicia I’m at least two hours away. Maybe more.
