North AL / Southern Central TN Mod Meet/ Cookout! May 14, 2011

Btw, Paul, you may want to get some touch-up paint ahead of time for the inside of your engine bay (although i still haven't touched mine up yet.) It will probably get scratched a bit.

 

Brian, btw, I will still buy one of those 2-gallon gas cans off of you if you want to sell it.

 

Wow, now I killed the thread. What time is this happening?

 

That you killed the thread? The meet can start around 8.

 

Brian doesn't like to get up real early so keep that in mind

 

Exactly! But, for a bunch of Tacoma's, I'll do it. Just need to plan ahead!

Justin, Congratulations man! Now your truck isn't the only thing with a hitch.

Jim, I think I'm going to put the Duratracs on tomorrow night. Can't wait to see it with them on.

I've just about finished up another satoshi tonight. Have one little spot to hit again with some glazing putty and it should be ready for paint and mesh. I might have to carry this one to get it painted for myself. Can't seem to get my brother to get my other one that hasn't been painted back from the guy I was thinking about having paint them.

 

That last sentence was a mouth full. Since you've done a few now, how fast have you gotten at doing them?

 

im not 100% sure but i may have to miss this meet guys. i really hate to have to say that but with the whole thing of me soon to be out of a job and just getting married and her parents coming in town next weekend i dont know if i can make it. we will see how this week goes and ill let you know later. thanks kyle and brian for the congrats.

 

Do what you can man, understandable if its bad timing. Enjoy being chained errr hitched!

 

Well like i stated before Justin we're your TW bros and I'm sure if you need anything we'll be more than willing to help! Just let us know! I know you are not the type to take a hand out but in a time of need and with the economy the way it is i'm sure if we can help we will! Like Jim said we understand if it's a bad timing issue. But if it is a small issue holding you back from coming (gas, money for food, etc) I personally will have you covered! If you don't have the gas money or something like that then consider this a free trip for you! The only thing you have to do is get ready cover the gas up here and put mileage on your truck.. We're gonna have weenies and burgers so it'll be fun and worth it! I'll help you out for the ride home and repay you for the ride up! OK? I want you to come because you break the ice so well with the newbies and well you're the nice one! (Sometimes)

 

We all know how Kyle loves his weenies.

 

I take offense to that kyle! i have a rep to uphold and you goin around telling folks im the nice one pretty well destroys all that i have worked hard to obtain. ive got my sliders most of the way on gotta do the drillin and put the bolts in on the bottoms and then redrill the passenger side front leg plate so i can install the self tappers on it. but they are just good step bars now. but i gotta get the house ready for the in laws to come down and inspect it to make sure their baby and soon to be grandbaby will be safe and happy in the house. so it all depends on how that goes and whether or not they have plans for me to be around this weekend.

 

Well just let us know! Sorry for ruining your rep! LOL!

I honestly can't wait for this weekend! Even though i will be VERY bitter due to the piece of shit excuse i got from anonymous but to sum it up..

Begin Rant: I have no fucking idea why mine didn't get shipped last week! He sent out 3 2nd Gen Fronts, 1 2nd Gen Rear, 1 2nd Gen Rear HC and some more bullshit here and bullshit there... But yet just last week on the front bumper building list was Me, Carolina_Boy, and Littledvl... = 3.. I and Littledvl didn't get ours!! Well if you look at the Rear HC build list guess who is the only one being "Built" right now... ME! So if he sent it out where did it go? Well basically.. after I get them don't be surprised if you guys don't hear much from me anymore! LOL! I don't think it will end well but you never know! I might get major rep from what i will do..
End Rant!

So is the OP list correct so TacoAlaMode can send out his address to the ones who don't know.. This is very important to the first timers!!!

PLEASE POST UP IF YOU ARE ATTENDING AND ARE NOT ON THE LIST!!!

 

You can add Tacoma95 to the list. He sent me a pm earlier today.

 

jim, what hammers will I need to pound out room for the UCA bolts? I'm bringing every tool I think I'll need besides those hammers (i have just one basic hammer and thats it). And do you have that hammer?

Brian, do you have any loctite?

 

I think we just used a regular hammer. The thing was having something to put up against the bolt to tap with the hammer - I think we used a 3/8" socket extension, lol. But some sort of small screwdriver or something would work.

I'm sure between everybody there will be something that can be put into service, just about anything short, thin, and hard (Kyle, really resisting the urge to make jokes here, just FYI buddy) should work.

 

LOL!!! You guys are great! Thanks for resisting Jim!

Brian when can i bring that Air compressor by?

 

its lookin like its gonna be a no go for me on this meet. will have to catch the next one though. in laws will be coming in town this weekend for the first time and her dad said he was wanting to give me a hand with some of the work i need to do to the house. dont think it would be a good idea to be out playing with my truck during a chance like that.

 

what are you planning on doing with that futon? Is brian still buying it?

 

Good idea man! Well at least you made it to the first one! Congrats again and good luck with everything!
