New England Mod & Meetup Thread: May 17 at Jared’s!!

It’s starting! This is gonna happen!

 

I’ll need to work on my own truck, I have collected a lot of parts to make a pretty stout front end. And bye bye bed

 

You better wait until your back is better mister

 

I got the crocs on, I ain’t doin any heavy work.

Setting up dust collection for when I need to work the wood

 

Got a table saw? I got a big fukr I’d like to rehome

 

I do but how big is your fukr? I enjoy heavy cast iron things

 

It’s like 4’x4’x however tall. I’ll get measurements and pics for you this weekend.

 

Sounds good, I have a craftsman contractor saw that I have some gripes with.

 

This one’s a nice antique but works mint. My only gripe is the size. I don’t do woodwork like I used to and it takes up a lot of real estate in the garage.

 

Are you also in the camp of "leathers at work means shorts and flipflops all other times"?

I certainly am.

 

Totally forgot my brake tools at work.

 

we plan to go west next June, don’t have exact dates, but plan towards the end of the month, we will have to be back give or take a few days but July 4th. We will be looking for music to hit up on the journey or something, and MOAB is absolutely on the list, that’s why we bought our RV, I mean 4Runner. It would be awesome to have some company on the trails.

 

I only own boots and sandals. I rarely do any work in sandals unless its 95+ degrees in the shop. Uninsulated barn so that happens quite frequently

 

Working on bumper install. Do I cut this guy off? @AllTacosFloat

 

That should unbolt. I thought. Are you under the Tacoma?

Take the rad support bolts off under that and it should come out. Or I'm completely wrong but I don't remember cutting mine at all.

 

You wrong it’s welded on at least on 2nd gens

 

Bottom part appears to have a cutout for it thankfully. Is there a secret to taking off the crash bar lmao. I have it unbolted but won't budge

Hammer solves all lol

 

Can’t wait to build this thing

 

Had a great wrenching day today with another successful mod and meet. @super_white worked on his rear brakes, @Shoeby got a full dobinsons lift, and @CttAznRanger got new LCA'S and we cut out the old cam bolts. Thanks again to all who came, and if I forget someone, please add yourself..... @AllTacosFloat , @CTSpruceMica , @Merling and others that showed.....only a small amount of blood was spilt.

 

@Clark27 , I have a helmet for you from @CTSpruceMica
