Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

So cool all the goodies everyone is getting as of late. Can't wait to get out on the trails with everyone again.

You know now that you have a winch you'll be stuck more often right? Goes for you as well @OldSchlPunk lol

 

I’ve heard very good things about that one. I might pull the trigger after I’m done spending on my truck…

 

3 alignments ago the shop bent one of my tabs. I had them fix it and told them to put a small weld bead on each tab. The owner thanks me for giving him solutions for common tacoma problems.

I was thinking that now I can be more useful to help you get out of "Tree Jail "

 

Buy a chainsaw get a free pole saw at fleet farm today

 

Killer deals are always at least considered!

 

Good to see modding season's in full swing!

By this afternoon, I should have all of the pre-wiring done for the light bar and winch. Tomorrow is 3 weeks since the bumper was ordered...any time now...

Pat @pearing, may as well do it right since you're in there! Nice kit.

 

Need to stop @ Fleet Farm later today but will stay out of that aisle! The CC has taken a beating this month and needs a rest.

 

Well, so much for that...have to get the positive terminal replaced. Snapped when I tightened it. Didn't even think I had tightened it that much.

 

That sucks! Should've only had 1 bowl of Wheaties this morning.

 

The winch is all hooked up. Truck is back together. Everything works. I did change how the horn is mounted so my hand has more room to get down to the remote.
It seems I have influenced my brother to spend money. He texted me today and said he ordered rock sliders from RCI for his 4Runner.

 

Your brother that lives near me? You need to have him join us on some shenanigans.

 

Gotta love being a bad influence!

 

I ordered an RCI Gas Tank Skid. The factory skid took a beating in Moab. It is smashed up to the tank.

 

Sounds like you had a great time!

 

Kinda hard not to out there!

 

Best vacation in years. I will be heading to Utah twice next year. It is that fun. The adrenaline rush is pretty cool, too.

 

That green is looking good with the Voodoo Blue. Finished up the front end, including swapping the needle bearing with the ECGS bushing. That swap was a bit more work than I expected. I was very happy to have @Camerasandcoffee here!


I had to bring out the grinder to remove a sway bar connector arm. I got a replacement for the arm, but didn't put the sway bar back in yet. Gonna see how it rides without it.

I work a half day tomorrow. Have an alignment scheduled at 3 and then I'll do the rear. I'll only have to drive a squatted truck for a day!

 

I'm really curious how it rides both with the Ironman suspension and the sway bar delete.

 

What are you guys running for a floor jack? I'm looking into getting one because I struggle to lift the truck on the bottle jack. The tires barely get off the ground..

 

A couple of 2x6's or a few 4x4's should fix that.
