    ...too much shit to list.
    Today I fixed yet another fuckup by Giant motorsports. I've had my head under this truck for two years and missed this because it's tucked right by the gas tank. Giant never bothered to weld the inside of the driver's side spring hanger. Passenger side was fully welded. I ended up pulling all the bolts from the gas tank and slid it over on a jack 2 inches. Was enough to get my small pneumatic grinder in there to clean everything and enough room to get the gun in to weld it to the frame. Had my sliders not been bolted to to the outside of the hanger...I'm sure that would have ripped off long ago.

    lol Exactly! The guys I went with are on Baja too. When we saw that, it was like...time to junk that chassis. I'm sure it took one hell of a hit to do that, but still not what you want to see happen. I'm curious what he did to that car. The other tube was brutalized!

    Well, send that pit invite my way! haha. It would be such a blast to get involved in the actual race.

    Definitely have to make it someday! Such an experience. So far I've been able to make school and work accommodate KOH for the last several years. Never know where life will take you, so I'm getting my KOH trips in while I can. I still need to make some of the desert races. One of these years...

    I got my truck last summer and couldn't stand not having something there, I was gonna do a seat swap but now I still have the option of taking it out and letting someone sit there.

    I pulled a jeep out of a mud pit....ImageUploadedByTapatalk1360548326.155508.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1360548342.738765.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1360548393.608329.jpg
    It's always nice when your jeep friend calls you and says I'm stuck can you come pull me out? His "trail ready" stock jeep got beaten by a non TRD taco.

    haha no jeep lover here. About the only one I would want is the brand new JKs but not for that price tag. Only if it was free.

    I simply meant to point out that one vehicle was in the mud and the other wasn't, so it is peculiar to me to say he won haha but I get it, we pull out a buddy and like to rub it in a bit. My dry humor doesn't go far when typing . . . sad story.

    Jeeps do well off road. Especially stock to stock comparison. But I will never own one. I'm a Toyota Truck/4Runner and Subaru imprezza/outback/forester/XV kinda guy.

    I'm assuming you have to buy the little black thing that fills in the space that old stereo took up? My old Taco had an aftermarket unit in it, but it was put in before I bought it. Where do I get one?

    That's the install kit. You can get them at any place that sells audio stuff. I think I picked mine up at walmart.

    Yes I had to drive through to the other side and turn around. To give credit he didn't even know how to use his lockers but I'm impressed that he could get that far without having a clue how to drive in the mud(he was going real slow).

    My little brother's girlfriend has a really nice 2010 Jeep and only knows how to put it into and out of 4x4. I want to give them a crash course on the lockers and how and when to use them but neither really want to ha

    Such a waste of vehicle :(
