How much did he charge you for those sliders?

 

$255

 

Not bad. I want one now lol

 

anybody had any luck with reasonably priced powder coating shops? I'm looking to have my stock 17s done. Thanks

 

I got my stock 16's done for 180 at visalia powder coating

 

Chunkylover53: was it $255 with everything? What's Bruteforce?

 

Well with a little google search, Bruteforce seems to be a fabrication shop in Fresno. It's pretty much a one man shop ran by a guy named Billy. Reviews in the vendor review section suggest he's a really cool guy and his products are excellent quality.

Here is the link to the website for rock sliders - http://www.bruteforcefab.com/ROCK_SLIDERS.php

As you can see since I have a regular cab. It clearly states that rock sliders are $255. And as far as that including everything, I'm not sure what you mean. It includes a set of 2 for both sides of the truck, and all the mounting square tubing and plates.

 

thanks ill check them out

 

billy's a cool guy since you live close by should check him out.


got mines for $375 welded

 

Yes, Billy is an awesome guy! He built me my 1st gen Hybrid bumper. Not sure if hes still active on here. Hey Billy where you at!!!! I myself have also been MIA for a while. Looks like there are a lot more 559 tacos on here now. Welcome everyone.

 

Dang I've been out too. All work and no play

Seems like I missed another run too

 

Not much going on here it seems. I'll be heading to Utah in May for that Moab meet up. Anyone else doing anything around here? Doesn't seem like it.

 

no lol not a lot going on. seems I rarely even start my truck anymore lol. have other project(s) taking all my damn time!

I think once we get trails open again we should all do a big run/ camp back to strawberry. brewer was cool but not much room at all down by the lake.

fer strawberry, I admit the only reason I didn't turn around was because I didn't want to go through the pile I just went through. lots of fun though after getting past the sound of metal on rock

 

It's good to see you post on here Kevin. What kind of projects do you have going on?

Haha sounds good. Did you make it all the way down to the lake on brewer through the rock garden?

Also, is a lift pretty much necessary for strawberry?

 

i made it maybe 100yds from the water. there was a nice area to pull off and set up camp. . . .fire ring and everything!

for strawberry, the truck I followed in was a bone stock 1st gen (other than 265/75/16), but his truck was single cab and seemed a lot narrower than me so he was able to dodge more rocks. could probly do it stock height in second gen, but scrapes on frame, lca's, and rear diff are inevitable.

and projects lol? well, it looks like a piece of junk to most people but to me its GOLD!


its an old pipeline welder. well, its an '88 but they were largely unchanged as far back as the late 40's. they still make em too, but diesel now. Lincoln SA 200

 

That's a hell of a project you got there Kevin. Sorry guys been busy lately and kinda went into money pinching mode since I'm trying to buy a house and it looks like I'm going to have to come up with a lot more up front than I initially though. Barely even drive the Tacoma anymore. Saving more money on gas by driving my '83 Toyota Pickup. On that note, anybody want these http://fresno.craigslist.org/pts/4317672537.html

 

will look like this hopefully when finished.

man, those shocks are tempting, but I have another truck I need to buy for this machine. . . . .the poor taco would shit if I threw this beast in the bed lol. I have an 01 cummins picked out

 

Last minute trail run!!!


I, my brother, and Billy will be heading up to Bald this saturday the 15th.

Anyone is welcome.... 4x4 a must.

I will be getting more details as the day approaches. Hopefully we have more than 3 trucks going!

if you have any questions just shoot me a message on my FB or pm me for my cell.

 

Since there's nothing exciting going on lately. I thought id share with my TW fam i just bought a 12 gauge shotgun and a M4. oh Man

 

I wish the run was Sunday. I have to work saturday.
