geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

Spent a few hours at Mark's (NWiTACO) house installing a few things

SuperBumps and extended brake lines (front)



DAKARS, SuperBumps and extended brake lines (rear)




CMC:


Thanks so much to Mark for all his help!! Great guy and will definitely be going to him for future mods

 

Looking awesome! Now you are ready for some bigger tires!

 

You're welcome and I am ready when you are!

Like Peter said...time for some bigger tars!

And I forgot to give you the stickers! ugh

 

Thanks!! Skids and tires and I'm ready to hit the Badlands!

I have to come pick up that whip mount too

I got half way home and thought to myself, "forgot the sticker!!" You can just mail it to me if it's not too much trouble

 

PM me your address

 

I wonder if I am going to want the DX29 or not. I am curious to get your truck next to mine. With the standard pack is pretty stiff right now, I am curious once I add my rear bumper if the height changes.

 

I just did it in anticipation for the rear bumper, gear, skids, bed rack, RTT, blah blah blah lol. I'm sitting at 25" right now in the rear with the old leafs and a tonneau cover (100-150lbs). From the Deaver AAL to the Dakar (6+2) I gained ~2-2.5" (unloaded) and it's noticeably taller.

I can come this weekend, if you're free, to get the whip mount and compare the trucks.

 

Almost forgot:



List of electronics waiting to be installed:

Remote Start
OTRATTW panel and switches
Hood LED strips
Blue Seas Fuse Block and Circuit Breaker
Foglight Anytime Mod (hopefully )

Waiting for my gf's brother to finish moving his shop and then I can get this stuff installed. Hopefully some can be installed this weekend.

Also started collecting items for my CB setup:



Wanted something small enough to be installed in the center console; I like the clean look. Have a few more things to get before I can install it but....SOON....

 

Hell yeah your truck is building up fast! I need to get some switches for the new switch panel I just got. I am waiting to install my gears, locker and air compressor Before I actually order the switches. I want to make sure I know which ones I want before I order them.

This saturday I will be working on some stuff at my parents warehouse if you want to come by. We can make a wrench day out of it if you want. Then you could get that whip mount.

 

Not as fast as yours!! The hardest part with the switches is figuring what I wanted in there. First I made a list based on mods (current and future), then I just drew out a diagram where I wanted the switches (overhead and the center console) and bought that I wanted.

PM/text me the address! I wanna try to at least get that whip mount from you!

 

Posted this in the "Let's see your Dogs" thread but I figured I would post it here too. Please keep my dog is your thoughts and prayers!!



Yesterday, she was attacked by a pit bull She was lucky she didn't lose an eye!!

 

Sorry to hear that! Dogs definitely become part of the family and I can only imagine how you feel! Hope that pit got taken care of...

 

Thanks Mark! It hurts me....

Here's the story..pretty interesting read if you have 5-10 minutes:

So here it goes (sorry in advance if it is a lengthy read)

Had our pup since 6/2013 she is 9 months old.

Monday (3/31/14) night, the girlfriend's brother brings home a pit bull. According to him he is trained and doesn't attack etc. The dog has no formal training at all.

Tuesday (4/1/14) night, I go over to calm them down and help my girlfriends mom with the chaos. Her brother and I take the dogs for a walk to calm them down and after that they are fine. All is calm.

Wednesday (4/2/14) afternoon, my girlfriend gets home from a business trip. They are still a bit rowdy and getting used to each other. Again, I go over mostly to see her (she was gone for about a week) and help with the chaos.

Thursday (4/3/14), my girlfriend does not have work and is home all day with both dogs. Around noon, the attack happened. I believe it was over a bone (they each had their own and he attacked her as she was sitting enjoying her bone) My girlfriend IMMEDIATELY separated the two and noticed she was cut and bleeding on her nose. She rushes her to the vet and keep her for a few hours.

A visit to the vet and $500 dollars later, she is home safe and healing. He never apologized or offered to pay for the damages. He blamed my girlfriend for not separating them sooner. I was on the phone with her before, during and after and it lasted 2 seconds tops and it was over. My family and I say we should sue because if he attacked any other dog like that, I know they would. Her family is taking our side and the pit bull is up for adoption on her brother's Facebook. Luckily, my job allows me to work from home so I am watching her and her brother took the pit bull to work with him. She is laying at my feet under my desk as I type this.

 

INSTANT HP FTW!!!



Went to help LoadedTaco (Peter) with his squeaky UCA's Here we were comparing flex with (me) and without (Peter) sway bars...VERY scientific



Glamor shots!

 

Thanks for coming by. Finnaly there is another Tacoma around.

 

Good meeting you and some MORG guys. Thanks for that whip mount. I am going to see if I can fab something for that antenna mount too. I'll hit you up this week about that skid and bring some strips for your leaf pack when I come to pick it up.

 

Sticker looks good! Even cut up lol

 

It wouldn't have fit otherwise. I hope I did right by you!! I think it still looks good..
