Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Oh duh haha. Yeah. If you could that would be cool. Would like to have another spare.

 

Will do. I've been meaning to do that myself.

 

I'm not either. I've been a LT fanboy from day one. LOVE the look of the wide stance and love the performance of it. Wy I'm gonna do it but I don't think leafs are that big a limiting factor.

Actually even tacomas aren't a great platform for real chase trucks. Frame isn't super beef. Needs a lot of reinforcement for it and like you said, lacking power.

And I disagreed I think rear leafs can flex great. As Brady pointed out Silas setup is great and so is Jason's. he'll even mine flexes pretty good. Just have to set it up right.

And I also think that with a crawl box you can have a ton of success with ifs. S,e guy I just read has LT and crawl box with locker and has yet to break an axle(gives me hope! Haha). It's all on the driver and application of the two I think.

Agree about not needing a ton of power. But if you look at some big crawlers..all they have are turned 22res haha

Also I think with full sized axles you can get around the fact you can stuff big tires..just without fenders

LT FTW

 

Bull crap haha snow can make a mild trail a blast. It should be pretty dam fun. Make her say yes lol.

 

Konsta brought up our Moonlight meet at the SIK meeting and some of them seem interesting so we may have some extra guys there as well.

 

I am going to definitely try.. I really want to go out.I'll let you know..

 

Alrighty. Sounds good

 

Well I sure as shit hope I can go to my own meet

 

I luv FM, my favorite place to deplete shelves at. Wait, you are probably one of those pushy cashier types that works the self-serve checkouts.

Have you figured out what is causing that?

 

Not sure if trolling, but actually yes, I am at self check out tonight

But I'm friendly and have an outgoing personality so people love me

 

Whatever

I need to get some of the reinforcement plates

 

I need a whole shit ton of those plates!! haha

 

Ha! Yes..yes you do

 

haha, yeah, I was trolling.

How are your welding skills coming along? Are you ready for a job like that. Seems like welding on the frame can be tricky.

 

You bet I am. From what I have read you have to really take your time as to not cause warping of the frame from the heat. Other then that. Easy money.

 

Ya don't remind me. I know

Oh haha. U good troll.

But I think as long as he spends a couple days working on heavy vert up welds it shouldn't be too bad. It's not like the frame is thin so he won't be blowing holes through it.

 

lol Too much heat can effect the temper of the metal too, so have to be careful.

btw: you better not show up with a speeding ticket in your pocket either.

Very good to hear. If you don't mind, I'll bring my set of Mercer Fab plates with me this summer when I come over. Maybe I can convince you to weld them onto my frame for me.

 

Haha!! Maybe don't see why not.

 

Thanks Monte. I am actually very serious. I worry a bit about bending the back half of the frame. It is a definite weak spot on our rigs.

I wish I new how to weld.

 

It is most defiantly. And with all the weight I have now I'm getting concerned. I do plan on boxing it too she I relocate the rear shocks. But that's a ways down the road.

And I don't see it being a problem if we have a good full day or so
