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

Anyone else good to hit shoe the weekend of the 20th? I Taylor suggested that and it should work great for me.

I'll have some pics up later today er tomorrow of the rear bumper, I got the main section finished all that left is the sides. I've found out though that I'm about 7" above the VA legal limit so ima add a section of square tube below it that will get me at least CLOSER, lol

 

I don't see why not, we camping or just a day trip?

 

I wouldn't mind camping.

 

I can come down on the 21st (Saturday) morning and wheel and camp that night, maybe wake up and hike to Crabtree falls or something

Hopefully nothing pops up that I have to go to

 

def narrowed down the annoying ass noise when I hit bumps to the front of the truck. I ran over/backed over a speed bump outside my apartment multiple times. When the rear end goes over, no noise at all. Front end goes over, noise.

 

I'd love to camp friday into Saturday. If I miss work saturday and sunday, that's a good $200 I lose

 

Sounds like the same thing that was happening with me it kinda sounded like a thump or loud bump or thud. All I had to do was get an alignment but I thought it was something hitting or I put the struts on wrong or something like that.

 

finally! got the 285s and F-5s on. little sketchy changing the tires out with the bottle jack, but I couldn't wait and didn't want to pay for the lift. also pics of the "Virginia is for Toyotas" decal and "tacomaworld.com".

 

have to hold off on that until I get back to the states, I'm not comfortable with the German shop doing it again. i had my tires balanced by them today and they charged me 104 euro (= $141).

on another note, I ordered one of the access cab roof racks from Prinsu Design Studio. Thinking that'll be the last of the mods while I'm here, besides adding the bluesea fuse box and breaker under the hood. content with how the truck is for now, plus it will limit the wife's nagging. haha. once I get stateside I'll start back up again.

 

Awesome looking truck man love the black on black. decals look sick as well and when are finally sending you stateside?

 

October I head to Florida. Then mid November through mid January/beginning of February I'll be at Ft. Lee, VA.

 

Looks sick, dude!

 

Truck looks great man!!

And for shoe creek, I'd be down to camp both Friday and Saturday night to catch everyone that wants to come. I don't mind runnin it multiple times

 

Frank get that light test fitted?

 

Not yet been busy with other stuff and the rain. Imma try to this weekend but I'll let you know. Sorry man.

Got this in the mail today and hope to throw it on tonight.

 

No worries just curious how it fit really, nice brake decal!

 

Nice decal frank!!

I made some good headway today on my bumper. Takin final pics now and I should have em up within the hour.

 

so I got the drivers side almost 100% done. all that's lefts is fabbin up the corner section under the light (see the open space below) and adding two supports run to the frame. I'm hopin to have a solid day friday to get the other side at leaf to this point if not be able to get it all done

and now the pics:





it looks crooked in this shot but I promise it's almost entirely the camera. I left it tilted slightly as a deflection angle but not nearly like it seems here




and an up-close of my best weld yet (also my longest )



I haven't gotten a super pretty bead yet but I am able to make a strong and reasonably nice lookin one and this is all just flux core, no gas yet... yet

 

Got it as a freebee from spieler since he didn't know the correct dimensions so that's a bonus as long as it fits. He does good work too and he's also doing a custom decal.

Travis looks good man that bumpers coming along really well.
