Calling all Toyota owners in the Lynchburg and Charlottesville and surrounding areas!

Yea if we could find a mid point that'd be cool maybe by then a few of us can do some mods the same day.

 

I vote Lynchburg. Unless it's after Sunday, then Harrisonburg!

 

Thanks Lynchburg is about an hour away and Charlottesville is about 2. I can do either one of those

 

I'll come drink beer and meet some of you!

 

Maybe we should set up a mod day or something like that so some of us can get together and meet and chill and work on the tacos. What y'all think?

 

Sounds good to me

 

Yeah y'all, get ready. I'm 99% sure I'm getting my shocks and springs by May when I come back home. If I can't find somewhere solid to do it, I'll use my uncle's friend's shop, but I'd rather do it with you guys, especially frank, since he's lifted his before.

I'll also be getting brand new bushings, u bolts, and brake line extensions. I'll hold off on the diff drop for now.

 

Yea that sounds good and yea I've put quite a few lifts on several trucks so I know my way around suspensions pretty well.

 

How does this look? Keeping stock TRD springs in front.

mod day sounds awesome guys! seems like a lot of y'all are closer to Lynchburg than anywhere else.. frank, what kinda space might you have for a turning day?


also.. been working really hard this week designing a bed rack as well as a high clearance rear. I found out we've got an old junk trailer out back that I think still has a lot of good metal in the frame so I'm plannin on tearin that apart this weekend to start some mock up for both things. Hopefully I can get my buddy to bring his welder down in a few weeks and then I'll really be on my way with protection... all that will be left is haven cash to buy tube for sliders!!

 

My Wet Okoles are projected to be here in May, tires 3-4 weeks (he also said it could take up to 12 weeks and even when they do come in I still need the F5s to mount em), still waiting on the 2nd seat heater kit to come in, and custom wooden shift knob shipped 2 weeks ago and still no sign of it. Going on week 2 of not doing anything to the truck haha.

 

I'll see if I can pull something together. I knew a few guys around with shops that have lifts and all the tools a mechanic could dream about but I'll see what I can do. I'll keep you updated on the paint project as well I found some good paint but want to make sure it's the right kind and will work in the gun. I'll let you know probably tomorrow.

 

I think I'll have my parts shipped to my house and I'll do it in the summer.

I wonder if it's okay to wheel with this axle wrap?

 

thinking about changing the location of my cb antenna to my tailgate. if that's the case one of you 2nd gen guys can have my hood mount if you want it. still debating though and looking into prices of the tailgate mount.

 

Travis made his own tailgate mount and it's pretty good.

 

Got behind I think it was yoder today after work, hoping he would stop in walgreens so I could say what's up. Nice looking truck!

 

all you need is is a piece of flat bar, I believe 1 x 3/8", a hacksaw, drill, vise, and some pliers... I'll have some pictures of it up soon so you can get an idea



and Frank, lemme know on paint! I'd really like to have this thing done in time for the car show!!

 

My bad man that was me and me and my dog were heading over the craft collision center and then headed to work. I'll catch up with you hopefully next week if that cool. Maybe we can go to bdubs or something.

The front of your truck looks so mean and I can't get I've the silver and black combo makes me just want to repaint mine.

Travis I've been looking at paints some more and think I found a few better options but I'll let you know.

 

they still all in that same kinda price range?

 

Cool man let me know sometime next weekend would be a great time to get out, the wife is going out of town!

Hell I don't even care if I have a big ass sleep over here on the farm, the trailer sleeps a good 8-10.
