New England B.S. Thread

Obligatory...

 

Copeland had a restored FJ40 in red on the show room floor for the past several years. They also had a restored FJ45. I wonder if they finally got an offer too good to pass up on the FJ40?

 

It's probably one of the Roko owned vehicles. Setup to display what they sell

 

def the Roko guys. Out of Framingham Ma

I picked up an alu cab contour canopy from them not too long ago - did a great job.

they also put in my OME lift and did a great job - zero complaints and truck rides awesome - knock on wood

 

Guerrilla marketing.

 

Double post

 

Roko Stage 3 build according to their website.

 

Well pretty much confirmed it's the driver side CV going out.

Also anybody have bed camping setups? I've now got both drawers setup in my truck. Looking ti extend the length of one so I can sleep in it but willing to possibly trade for a bed setup. Trying got figure out my best possible setup on the cheapest budget lol. May even just stack one on the other to make it easier

 

How often do you have passengers

(I know you have +3 but don't know if the truck is used for a kid hauler at all)

 

Every morning lol

 

Well then abandon ship with the platform idea

 

I had 8 foot banks each side of my small driveway and was cringing thinking about it caving in, thankfully didn't. First half decent Saturday we got I spent at the street shoveling down the banks so Cupcake could see to pull out of the driveway

 

Question to be revisited by people, anyone have any leads on replacement bushings for OEM LCAs? I know there are some around that are replacements for their own parts, but I can't seem to dig up anything related to replacing OEM ones.

 

here’s the alu cab set up - it has a very alluring boxy look - IMO - very happy with it!

 

I’m by no means an expert in this area but I’ve seen a lot of stuff on here about Whiteline lca bushings. Not sure if they’re meant to be used in OEM or aftermarket lca’s though…

 

Mine have whiteline bushings but have no info... they came from Rick

 

Truck looks great...and pretty good pizza there!

 

thanks - they guy that owns that place is a friend of mine. best meatball subs in the area IMO.

 

Wait seriously? I have family right around the corner, and whenever I see a "(pick a town/city) house of pizza" I usually just ignore its existence. I'll have to give it a go!

PS if you're ever in the Providence/East Bay RI area, there's a place off 114 called Bella's Gourmet or Bella's Italian Gourmet, can't remember which. Meatball subs are pretty good, they make their own bread so far as I can tell, too. Their other subs are good too - buffalo chicken, bring a towel, it's sloppy.

 

Hey jumping in and understanding this thread is New England folk:

Just put in an order for Taco TRD Off Rd 4x4 with the idea of putting on a Kimbo or such. Knowing I’m pushing the weight limit I’m wanting a safer platform.

Thinking E rated terrain tires (Prob Faulkin) and either airbags (Firestone recommended by Kimbo) or coil spring . Might go with a Moonlander instead of Kimbo as I’m getting the payload jitters…

anyhow: We are in Vermont and wondering if any of you more experienced types know a good outfitter to get it done right? I’ll travel.
Thanks and I appreciate all the info on the forum and enjoy the stories.
