Colorado B.S. Thread

figured that was the case lol

 

Reminds me of Wall-E for some reason

 

Enjoys your day fellow taco owners. I'll be keeping you all in mind while in up at the cabin. No society for the next 30hours!

 

Saw a sick 4runner and 2nd gen Tacoma parked outside Tokyo Joe's near the capital around 5:15.

The Tacoma was lifted had a bed rack and rotopaxes on it. Was it you? Beautiful looking truck.

 

just saw a new set on craigs if you're looking for some

Well I felt pretty accomplished today, got a few things done that I have been meaning to.

First I cranked my coils up about a 1/4 in to fix the settling I had from putting my bumper, skid plates and sliders on.

After


Now the rack is not huge and it looks a lot better.

The last thing I got done was mount my rotopax, fire extinguisher, and eyelets to my tool/parts box.







I would have got the truck waxed today but I helped Squeaky Penguin go get some leaf pack so he could build a set and the temperature did not want to stay consistent.

 

Looks good man, nice setup in the bed. Truck looks good too, for a 2nd gen.
Where are you guys getting those rubber fastener things for the shovels and stuff?

Thank you Sir!

 

Nicely organized! Watch the latch on the fire extinguisher. It broke on me. Ended up using a quick fist for a power tank on it now. Works perfect!

 

How accessible is that in the case of fire? I put pad locks on my gate and the tire blocks the window from opening too, so getting to it would be my problem.

 

Are we doing tacos on the beach this year?

 

This is a good point. My Scout, the fire extinguisher is mounted right to the floor in front of the driver seat. Tacoma has nothing atm.

I have wheeled once with a guy and his Jeep caught fire under the hood, It was beneficial to get to the extinguisher right away.

 

Very good point. Mine is in the bed next to the tailgate and is not locked down. Drop the tail gate unlatch the extinguisher and go assist.

 

It's being hosted by TCT Magazine this year. I know it was posted in the events thread or you can go to the TCT site and register.

 

So I ran into an issue with welding my cage mounts on. On the rear end, passenger side my upper shock mount is in the way. I'm going to trash those when the time is right. But the way I have the cage mount set up I need to weld it right where that shock mount is. Can I cut that passenger side shock off and still drive the truck without the shock? Dose it create axle warp if I'm only running a shock on one side. Or do I have to cut the shock off and relocate it and weld it back on? I'll go take a pic and update this.

 

You'll be fine with one shock. It just bounces a little.

 

yeah no shocks are when it gets interesting lol

 

Nice thanks
