Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I guess you didn't see my post. VVV

 

sucks about the fire! hope ya’ll stay safe! but pretty cool pic.

and imho diesel will help move that around a lot better! v8 gas wil get really crapy MPG by the time you add weight of horses and trailer big enough for 3+ i know a few people that has full size v8’s and they haul 2 horses and say MPG sucks, and on really steep hills it’s straining the engine

 

You'd be surprised what these trucks can do if need be, I'm sure I could handle a smaller trailer than that one Scott.

If it was an emergency deal, I'm sure I could pull something up to this size, the tongue weight wouldn't be much more than the bobcat trailer

 

oh yeah and I'm thinking I need to paint at least the besides before I bed liner the top of them. I'm trying to decide to decide between a Maaco paint job, a good paint job, or a rattle can/driveway paint job. Maaco quoted me $977 after I do the body work. good paint job was quoted 1400 for painting fenders and bedsides (my body work again) or 2400 with their body work. or how ever much I could do it myself. I find the painting part the most enjoyable but I have no compressor, paint gun or booth... I have a degree I have never put to good use for myself

 

I just saw this and I can't believe I am going to ask this.... But anyone have think this is worth it?

I wouldn't mind getting in on that first gen bumper.

 

I'd get the Apex over their regular plate bumper but that's only because it's a one piece design. Don't know about getting it over other plate bumpers on the forum just because I haven't seen it in person.

 

How hard of a time did you guys have trying to sell your stock wheels? I have these brand new 17's and the most I have been offered is $25 per wheel from some cockbag.

 

If you look them up on criagslist, it is swimming in stock rims. Most people think their shit is gold just because it's new or nice. Price them a little lower than the rest and you should be good. Lowest I've seen is about $250-$300.

 

Yeah I'm debating between this one and brute force fab hybrid.... I know All Pro can have a stigma that's why I worry.....
Are their bumpers normally ant good?

 

I got $350 for mine, kept the Tire pressure sensors too. Cant seem to find anyone to buy the tires though. might just give them away.

 

I'd say the forum is split 50/50 on their opinion of AP. Same with people who've had their bumpers. One of the issues I heard about was the twisting of the bumpers when winching but I think that has been fixed with their Frame Support Brackets.

 

Better than their standard bumper since it's a 1 piece design. Not a bad price, but haven't seen on in person.

 

Yeah, I've heard of bumpers bending even when lifting with a highlift. But the wait time is probably not long. And this is a good price.

I always wanted a relentless or elite. But the wait time is just crazy and a lot more expensive too.

 

I sold mine for $500, had them up for $600.

 

Just wait. Keep posting. I sold a set of 16" TRD OR wheels with bald tires and NO sensors for $260. I would think you would get about $400 for the 17's in good condition. Maybe more depending on tires.

 

Damn, I'm just about to list my TRD OR Baja's. Hope I don't get too lowballed.

 

Just list it slightly higher than the amount you want. That way you can let someone talk you down and they feel good about it.

 

And is that because the mounting points are only the 4 factory ones and they don't use any of the heavier duty ones like the 17mm ones?

 

HAHA so the other day I had seen a 1gen LT on base here at Travis and thought I would invite him to our mod day last month. I left a note on his windshield and it looks like he joined as Bigairrider01, flat black DCSB with LT front and rear with a bed cage lives in Vallejo.
