I'll go get the grinder.....

At this rate I'll be able to get your hand me downs

 

Share the wealth, please!

 

see. we told you to just go straight to 40s.
36s first THEN 40s...

 

After tubbing his shit for 40's I'll probably be too tired and over it, so they'll be all yours.

 

I can feel a little better knowing that Mr Lube is gonna pay for my repairs lol.

 

Are they replacing the skid plate or just the hardware?

 

Hardware + labour at the Toyota dealer to have it straightened and installed (and labour to fix thread damage).

they don’t/didn’t want to…. But lawyers having a lawyer as a close friend paid off. I owe him some scotch.

 

Fuck 'em, they have insurance.

 

Literally. They’re just being dicks about it. Claiming it came in that way, etc…

 

On a happier note- I’m looking for a trans pan skid because, well, I can’t choose lines for shit.

I wanna keep it lightweight, and I like that these guys build a whole line of skids so I can add on in the future. Thoughts?

Well, consensus is that steel slides better in our environment but aluminum will be strong enough but gouges easier. But is lighter. But steel rusts more.

So 50/50

 

Any experiences with that specific company?
I’m definitely going aluminum to retain some payload (I tow a lot) so I think my minds made up on that one.

 

oh you remind me when I used to be young... Used to swear by aluminum and 30" tires... here I am working on 40s for next summer will it tow? Yes, stop? Optional.

 

You're still just a pup. You'll figure it out someday.

 

my back disagrees

 

Because you have steel skids

Jokes aside, this winter is when I’m finally gonna build my truck. Just gotta save some cash.

 

No such thing as "built" it's always work in progress
