Yall pull those strings out between your legs and post something educational about some yota's on here.

 

Anybody Knoxville east have a pipe bender? I need to bend 6 sticks of 1-1/4 pipe and don't want to use the harbor freight one because it deforms the curve of the pipe.

 

Don't use shitty pipe and it won't kink. American tubing holds much better.



I got my Tacoma back tonight. Yase.

 

well the insurance adjuster came by yesterday and i will be recieving $1700 check. I have to replace bumper, grill and headlights on my 2004 4runner sr5. i have decided on going with a demello bumper, but as for grille and headlights im stuck. what are some good places to shop around/any suggestions on what is good?? i have been reading up on doing a satoshi grille mod, but was wondering if there is a mesh replacement for the whold grille?

 

Agreed!!
And hell yeah!!!!! DON'T WRECK IT!!!!

 

Stock headlights from eBay. Do the BHLM. And either just do the satoshi or get a grill craft insert like I got. And just fyi, I would call Demello asap and get that bumper started because unless they have one sitting on a shelf in the warehouse then u might be in for a 6, possibly even 8 month wait. It could be a lot less time but it could also be a worse case scenario

 

Weston, what's the deal for tomorrow? 11:00 at Mapco? Do I need to eat before I get there, or what's up?

 

Turns out we'll be stayin at my house. If you wanna meet me somewhere in east brainered or at the BP on ooltewah ringgold rd, next to the bilo, it don't matter. Probably around 11. We might me one of the jeep guys too.

 

Looks like my jeepster buddies want to try out the backside trail first...we are going up early tho...like 8-9am...then depending on how that trail fairs, we might head to Coppingers Cove near Whitwell. I'll be in my green '94 Land Cruiser with 2 wranglers, a rubi and a red cherokee in tow.

Below are directions to Coppingers Cove

24W to Exit 155 to merge onto TN28 toward Jasper/Dunlap
4.3 mi turn left on Lassiter Rd
1.2 mi turn right onto Valley View Hwy
1 mi turn left onto Coppingers Cove Rd

 

My '94 LC...normally run channel 3 or 4 on the cb. Will be a Greg, Donald and Steve (me) with CB's

 

Sounds good man, you have pictures of the land cruiser? And you didn't pull a white wrangler with a stinger bumper out when I was hanging halfway off of a mountain on Tom's 4x4 trails did you? Haha

Edit....Nevermind. Different land cruiser haha

 

Ha! No, but I did pull a couple other jeeps out of a similar situation...as did they ME when I went up there the last free ride they had. Literally slid sideways off a trail into the woods on a curve with a slight grade. Was right after all that rain and it was like ice...even the easy trails that a pre-runner could have climbed if dry were 2-3 winches worth just to get up. Was a miserable day! Musta winched 10x that day...nothing but soup. Everyones tires were just packed and nothing but slicks.

 

My buddy is meeting me at my house around 10:30 or so... I'll shoot you a text in the morning to see where you're at. We'll prolly try and grab a quick bite to eat before we go... So we'll prolly just plan on meeting you in lookout valley at like 11:15 or something...

We'll get it figured out in the morning...

 

Alright, that works too. I figured we could meet at Bo jangles or anywhere else to grab some food around 11, but Im good with whatever.

 

This is the trail I'm thinking we should hit first, it looks like it leads to the PB hole. You're going up Aetna mountain rd and at the top of the picture, where it kinda forks, is the turn off for the trail. It goes back for forever!

Where that huge green circle like thing (it's a pond) is around all of that brown (dirt), right past that looks like the PB hole.

 

Think I got this mapped out...

 

So are both groups going to peanut butter hole?! Haha

 

some place that must be.

 

I think so haha but probably at different times. It's the most well known place up there.

Haha from what I've heard, it's a pretty good spot.

 

Hey gideon or anyone else with a brute force bumper - the 2 plates/tabs on the bottom:
- The tab goes under the bumper frame mount thing minus end caps, and the plate goes inside it?
- If so, what are the washers for?
