Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

This dude totally side swiped me this morning and never bothered to pull over... Stupid Cadillac Drivers..



My only damage was some scuff on the tire..

 

A week after I first put my sliders on, I was sitting in a parking lot and a soccer mom in a mini van came into a parking spot way too hot/wide and ripped her front bumper off on my sliders.

Proceeded to get out like it was no big deal, didn't even realize I was in the truck til I called her out. "Ohhh did I hit you? I'm sure it's fine"

Luckily it barely scuffed the powdercoat.

 

Tacoma life. A Lamborghini at a car meetup pulled out in front of my girlfriend and she swerved to avoid'em. I told her next time to just run straight over it, ground clearance is enough that it'll be entirely their problem.

 

At least it was only the tire.

 

I didn't have my sliders yet and I was sitting in the parking lot eating chinese food in my truck and this guy opens his door, hits the side of my truck, looks over, makes eye contact with me and then slowly starts to back out while maintaining eye contact.... I jump out of my truck and stand in the way and he gets out and goes "did I hit you?" Yeah you did. You made my truck rock. kept him from leaving till I made sure there was no damage. Luckily not, but holy crap people are shameless.

 

That jackassery is strong. If I got their license plate, I would have made a police report and got my tire replaced by their insurance on principles alone. Looks like you could use a new bead lock ring too.

 

I'm going to a CHP office after my classroom to file a report, it needs to be done because I don't want that driver to file one on me claiming I drove into him. Luckily I have a DashCam that shows I was in my lane at the time if the impact

 

Let’s see the video/post license plate #

 

Continuing on with the pre-prep tasks that will make next weeks install go faster..

A few notes for next week


Two options for the Sliders where the front of the Frame Brace meets... Solid Line or Dotted Line?


Best place for the relocation hoses..anyone!?


Trying to get what I can knocked out on my junk today and doing a frame swap at the same time.. a little busy today

 

One step at a time..

 

Well you used a 1/2” pneumatic impact to cut fiberglass. No wonder it took so long. But impressively clean cuts

 

...LULZ

 

I’m more interested in that bolt.

 

This little guy!?

 

Yeah, wtf is the story there??

 

lol …if i was a chick i would throw in a big fat i told ya’ so three years from now during a completely unrelated argument

 

You too? First thing I saw also. I didnt even notice the oscillating blade

 

Specialty hardware for those hard to reach holes

 

I though it was for the offset holes

 

who needs a concentric washer when you have a concentric bolt
