Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

It's a cold one out there today, but cozy inside with the wood stove.


Stay warm and enjoy your Thanksgiving. A little birdie in this snowflake said there's snow here (actual snowflake yesterday...iPhone pic with no editing involved):

 

Saw the thermometer outside our control room dip down to 35 last night. And my fucking board operator, all cozy and warm in the central control room, decided he wanted to cycle all of our equipment last night, which meant me standing out in the cold turning pumps on and off and waiting for him to see it all on his control board. Fucker.

 

My wife pulls in the driveway last night and is met by a neighborhood dog trying to get in my truck. Really friendly dog. They said hello then parted ways. Well this morning I come out to see this shit!

 

It will probably polish out.

 

I hope so. They are pretty deep.

 

I have a buffer if you want to borrow it.

 

Thanks. I'm gonna wash it tomorrow and see how bad they are.

 

just go on a trail run, the pin striping will make it look the same everywhere else.

 

Ill post pics later, but I definitely popped my scratch cherry lol

 

And a shot gun!

 

Not sure if he wants holes in his truck.

And my shotty is no longer with me, found a new home with another member.

 

@VolcomTacoma did you get any other parts falling off other then that plastic wheel well liner? I noticed the trailer wiring bracket on my trail limo was bent pretty bad after last weekend I'm going to have to relocate the wiring to the bumper I've bent that bracket so many times

 

I relocated that before I ever went offroad lol. Learned about that one the hard way on my prerunner. I got some light pinstripping, but yea, must have smacked the front bottom part of the bumper and bottomed out. Long story short peoples, had some trouble on one of the trails due to clearance, had to skinny pedal through it all, and hit a dip on the right side a little fast, felt the suspension on that side bottom out and something scraped. Next thing I know, @DannyBFresco is walking up the trail with my front right inner fender liner . They were coming out anyways, but what a way to do it lol!

 

those should polish out. I know a guy.

 

I may have to hit that guy up soon. My trail rash is getting pretty gnarly

 

I'm pinstriped to holy hell. Could prob buff most of em out but I prefer to leave em so I don't flip out over new ones.

 

Sliders worked already. Coworker parked next to me. Small dent on his door missing paint, small chips of paint on sliders. Busted, fuckhead. You deserve it. There are 6 fucking spots in front of the control room, I park in front of the door...NOBODY ELSE IS PARKING HERE, you can literally park sideways if you want...probably...but nooooo you have to park 2 feet from my truck.

 

And on that note, I came out of Safeway to find a shattered tail light and paint on my rear bumper and tire swingout. Some dumbass in a new F150 tried to back into the space for a compact car next to mine. After he failed he drove one row over and parked. The security guard pointed him out. I had to laugh, it left a quarter size scuff on my HC bumper, but beat up his Side panel, light, pinched a little part of the tailgate.

I left a note under the wiper that said I reported a hit and run and that it was on video.

I did not really report it in reality, but hopefully he sweat a bit because of it. What a douche.

Happy T Day tacomaworld people's!

Spoken like a true wheeler!

 

Thats awesome! I'm looking into a high clearance tube/hybrid bumper I think. Haven't quite decided yet exactly what I want, but I'm sure I can find something nice to spend money on
