Got the bed rack just need to mount it. Ill be coming by around 10ish. dropping the wife at the mall or some bookstore

 

Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to hit you up when the time comes to change over the cab.

 

I'll be there when I get there... Looking forward to maybe sleeping in (7-8) then I'll load up the truck and head out. Just got done replacing Kelly's steering stabilizer and breaks on her jeep. I'll be meeting a guy to pick up new coils and shocks for it some time tomorrow and get that put in after I get done at toms. See you all there... Any one need me to bring anything? I'm bringing most of my electrical stuff,
my grease gun and rhino ramps.

 

just those tools to remove the vents and shit so I can pimp my ride

 

Thanks for the help with the bed rack guys to bad we didn't get as far as we would have wanted and to bad the gauge cluster mod didn't work either. Better luck next time

 

yeah dude... bed rack is half way there.... just gotta make it work now...

 

Thanks for all that came out for wrench day. ToastyJosh had the most complex job and, thankfully, beyond one hiccup, everything went back together and his Taco fired right up.

TacoDane, wish we could have finished out the rack. I thought it would be the simplest and most straight forward. Instead, it took quite a bit of convincing to get it together. I hope you have success it getting the mounting done.

KCDuran learned how to change his oil. Need to get back in there and grease the bushings but at least you have the uniballs cleaned out and lubed up. Hopefully the grease we pumped into the zerks will do some good.

And thanks to Scott for hanging out for the day and lending a hand whenever it was needed.

I'm now off to bed so I can get up fresh tomorrow and finish the clean up.

 

well if it wasn't for you and your garage it wouldn't be a wrench day. thanks for hosting. Ill sure let you know how I get those bed rails bolts in when I get back home. and now waiting until Monday to go to the dealer ship for that needle in the gauge without a light...

 

curse of the 2013... I shall call it.. THE BLACK SPOT!

Hopefully when I do my next set of mods and add-ons it will be straight forward. I didi pm the guy in cali about doing the cluster and if he did them on the 2013 tacoma

 

So at balloon fiesta waiting for the balloons to go up. Oh did I mention is effin cold. Good morning

 

did you enjoy the fiesta!?

 

No, don't do that. Don't get on the back side of the psychological curve. It is a new model and things are different here and there.

As for the bed rack, I'm sure if we had time we would've got it mounted. After taking a break from it, I have a bunch of fresh ideas on how to do it. Wish I had another crack at it.

 

I have over 1600 photos on my phone to go thru. Best event I've ever been to. Well worth fighting the 40 degrees.

Hopefully there is a way to get the leds to light up

Also took some time and attempted to get bolts in to the bed rails and there we have it rockin the rack with out the straps. Thanks to Tom Kyle Scott and Josh was moral support

 

aw, shit. I have to go to work tomorrow.

 

well aren't you the happy camper

 

Less time to finish work on the truck that I didn't have money to buy parts for.

 

Ya don't we all feel that struggle. well glad to hear your going back to work now its the matter of getting paid?

 

That is a nice victory! How did you get the mounts to bolt in?

 

Heh. Yeah, I'm waiting to hear about back pay and if the DOJ's ruling on the Military Pay law will hold. We may show up tomorrow to be told to go back home.

I think if the pay does get turned back on I'll be investing in a winch just in case Silas gets stuck again.
