Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Time to fire up the smoker.

 

Playing around with the endoscope on the bad transfer case.
Tough to take a good pic of a bad pic.
Noticeable scarring and about 4 teeth are missing (red arrows).
Surprised no big chunks drained out.

 

You didn't spell that right: SecondGenBestGen Thats better...

 

I had a rear end that looked like that... In MOAB, which sucked. Course, we didn't scope it...

 

Long way from home for that to happen.
I'll have to open this t.c. up to see what's what.
Right now I'm smoking a cigar and monitoring my meat.
What a time to be alive.

 

Now I remember why I haven't opened the transfer case.
I don't have any sockets between
27mm and 35mm.

looks like a 30 or 32mm.

 

Time to get some

 

On a side note, we have (minor) competition.

Lewis Black, on one of his comedy tours did a bit on a study of drunkest college campuses and said: The University of Wisconsin Madison wasn't considered as they are professionals.

 

Cheap bumper and a reason to work on your welding skills / buy a welder

Supported

 

Even if I needed a bumper I wouldn't go that route after my experience with his DIY slider kit. No instructions and incorrect parts packed/shipped. When I reached out, I got blown off because he didn't want to deal with it, he just wanted the parts out the door and his "floor space back". I made his shit work, with some bending and grinding, but I shouldn't have had to. Won't buy from him again.

 

Are you talking about the original pelfrey? Cuz that company's been gone for years

The guy selling in that thread is doing so through Bay area metal Fab, they just bought up what was left of the pelfrey stock after the lawsuits.

 

I know who Jerry is and I recognized the PelfreyBuilt name (and history). BAMF was who I bought the sliders from. With this being someone else's problem to begin with only increases the chances of problems that he doesn't want to deal with.

 

Right on, just making sure we're all on the same page lol

 

That? That is why I tend to make my own...

 

One of my Ohio guys just ordered one. He should have it all put together and on his truck by the time Shamrock Shakedown hits.

 

That's a nice well rounded kit....

My tools are good.
Just missing 28-34mm.

An old roommate left my house on bad terms over 14 yrs ago.
He had one trip left to come back and get his tools.
He also still owed me $200.
I told him when I got my $200 he could get his tools back.

Never got that $200 but I aquired all his Napa and Craftsman Ratchets and sockets and other misc. tools he had purchased for getting ASE certified.
It was a fair trade off.

The rest of my tools I aquired, by times like these, when I needed something.
