So who all is in this year besides Chad?

 

You very welcome, I'm glad it drives like a Toyota again...Sorry about the down time, waiting for parts. If you need anything, just ask.

 

Hey Cloudy let's get Silas to go.

 

In his Tercel!

 

Thanks tomtom for the winch hook!

 

First time I can remember that I was happy to see a note on my truck.

 

HAHA! Anytime you want to grab a drink at the Horse and Angel or Spectators let me know, I owe you a beer!!! Maybe one last meet up before I head back to the east coast?

 

Ya, we need to do that. Maybe a food and drink meet there Friday or Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend?

 

Are meet ups filled with the same youngins? Or are there new faces? Hahha

 

I will be going on leave the weekend of thanks giving but this comin up weekend I am off and after thanksgiving I should have some available days before I leave. I would also like to do some snow wheeling

 

In a week or more I should be able to head out. Other than that try to hit up Tomtom (@tomtom)

Heck yeah he needs to go.

Of course, if he takes it peer pressure will rule and he will do Helldorado.

There are plenty of new faces around here.


Has anyone seen an all matte black BCLB 2nd gen that has a front plate bumper and super dark windows. I saw it at Freddy's the other day.

 

Pretty new out here myself but has anyone seen the white DC with roof rack and a topper that the halo's around the headlights change colors? It is very distracting lol

 

Ok I will keep checking back. I want to get out this weekend and do a little more exploring. If anyone is up for it let me know!

 

hi there Gals and Guys

A quick question for all of you I have a 2014 Tacoma 4x4 do I need to get snow chains for the coming snow fall If so what brand do you recommend

Thanks
John

 

Well it depends,

what tires do you have? Stock? If there newish and your driving on roads you will be ok, just think about what your doing in the snow.

If your trying to drive off road with the stock tires then yes chains would be smart to have in the back, along with a shovel.

 

Hey!!!

Are we planning work days any time soon????

 

It is looking like my Thanksgiving will be installing a new fuel pump and a 2.2" pulley as well as touching up any frame rust. Probably not a helpful day for you but such is the luxury of bachelorhood.

What you need help with? I can make the garage, assorted tools and a helping hand available. Possibly the Friday after Thanksgiving if that works better for you.

Also, we might be wheeling the Saturday after. Possibly heading up north. Working on getting a plan together.

 

Hey John, the only time you need chains is over 12-16" of powder or if there is an inch or more of pure ice. Even in these conditions our trucks can still get through, just have to be super cautious, keep your momentum, leave plenty of room to stop.
If you think you need chains, the good ones cost about $100, just make sure they have a way to tension the system that does not rely on bungees to keep tension.

Cam chain tensioners are the easiest to get tight.
There is a better type, with a bar that creates tension, I can't find a pick online, but if you're really interested I could show you a set.
If you seriously think you want chains, hit me up and I'll give you a lesson on how to correctly install, very important on our trucks because there is very little clearance between tire and flare, and tire and brake line, so improper installation could lead to big headaches. This invite goes out to anyone that wants to know how to install chains correctly. I don't claim to be an expert at much, but installing chains is one thing I am. Diego

 

well I have all sorts of stuff to do. LBJ's new front springs + struts, radio issues, xfer case gasket, used 285 to put on that I got for free!!

will be out of town untill that sat.
