where u have the basic lines of the truck and u can look at it and tell its a tacoma but it looks kinda "cartoonish" and "fun". Almost a little sloppy looking with different size lines and with very little detail. Like a rough sketch. U said u did this kinda shit, time to step up or shut up! haha

and whats this about ur truck? I like ur truck, just not ur drawing

 

Well I went and had my exhaust re-routed this mornin. Had duals out the side and now it's dumped after rear axle so I can throw my spare on there and won't crush my tips at LBL. already preparing haha not sure how I'm liking my muffler though....thought a borla xr-1 was supposed to be much louder and deeper??

 

well i had one hell of a day. got stuck like a MOFO had to get winched out. video should be coming soon. got a hell of alot of cleaning this week. have to clean my boots because i got them wet.

 

haha that BLOOOOOOOOOOWS.

 

haha. it was still fun as hell. and thank god i did not get water in the air box. hole was close to 35” deep. on a rhino that has 26” tires(stock) it was up to the seats. had to get winched out.

 

thats pretty funny...sounds fun though.

 

could possibly be a good place.

Is a good place

 

have you been there before? it's literally 20 mins from my dorm, so it might be good to go with some college guys for a day if its actually a decent place.

 

I knew we'd find somewhere eventually haha. How hard are the trails 05tacosport?

 

on the site, it says that it has stuff ranging from easy trail rides to crazy buggy stuff.

 

well as promised, here is the video. yes i know i sound weird, i was trying not to talk i had mud flying at my face and did not want it in my mouth. http://youtu.be/ycUJdKaDarQ

 

Hahahaha "Oh hell!" looks,like fun man!

And I found out that we have a mig welder at my dads shop (shop is on our property). My dad doesn't know how to use it, he knows how to get it going but not how to weld. I'm gonna try and teach myself so we'll see how that goes haha. Amy tips? And I wanna fab up some skid plates first, then possibly move on to sliders?

 

haha. that was my neighbor saying that. he had a Arctic cat prowler and had to use his winch to get me out. i had a winch but it was under water and not as east to get to.


and thats sick man! and what kinda welding do skids involve? unless you don’t bend and have to weld the angles.

 

Hahaha I about died when I heard that and I know how bad it sucks getting atv's/utv's stuck haha. I ended up getting a tractor stuck and almost my dads jeep when I stuck my Polaris 500.

And thanks! But I have absolutely NO idea haha I figured id just grab a couple pieces of metal and start workin on welds???

 

hahahahaa. that sucks!!!!


and pretty much all you can do.

 

also what rear view mirror???

 

Haha you're tellin me!

And I just don't wanna spend $600 on sliders if I could do it my self. And skids will definitely come in handy haha

 

superfair

 

Skid plates will not be easy! Its not just welding a bunch of metal together. And tips . . . . . Do u have gas or no gas? Start out with a little thicker metal like 3/16 or 1/4 because it allows for more mistakes without burning holes in it. U will get very frustrated if u use thin metal and burn half of it up. Get a chart also, if the welder doesnt already have one in it ur gonna need a chart that has metal size, wire type, and welder setting (wire speed and volts). Otherwise u will be very lost and spend A Lot of time trying to figure all that out. Make sure u have a solid ground. Make sure u have some lube to put ur tip in. Hold ur tip about 3/4 to an 1” off ur metal. Practice 2 types of patterns: a C motion, pretty much start high and make a C then repeat that motion back up and continue that motion all the way down. The other is a lower case cursive e motion which is basically a loop, try short loops and longer gapped loops, I wouldnt gap them more then a 1/4” though because u will have weak points that look like dips in the weld. Take some pics of ur welds also and I can help u further
