GT's Ultimate PepBoys chrome isle collection with considerable BS

How much do they run? I missed the damn GB

 

Not much more than the group buy price, worth it in my mind.

 

Sweet!

 

Dirt designs has some awesome stuff

 

When you get wolf fab to bend up the crossbar, let me know how much it ends up being seeing as i need one as well still and dont trust any random shop at home to do it. Would be simple enough to make 2 of them.

 

Sounds good. He can practice on yours first.

You planning on loading up your new parts and bringing them back east with you next weekend?

 

Haha, i would let him if i had my brackets with me.

Im here this weekend but i dont think i will be the following. My schedule has been changed every time now though so who knows. That doesnt mean i couldnt drive back out for a mod day, ha

 

Sounds good, just keep us posted.

I want to swap out my current trailer brake controller with one of these...

 

Posting this here in case anyone else needs it as well.

These McNeil fenders are an inch wider above the factory bumper on each side. The opening is 1.5" further forward from the stock bumper.

 

Some new parts arrived today.




Toyota axle housing bash plate from @Dan Fredrickson. This thing is awesome! Don't know how Ruff Stuff makes money as they are practically giving this thing away.






This is the Toyota Land Cruiser/FJ Cruiser air pre cleaner(17730-31030). I'm really stoked to get another one of these for the Tacoma as the one I had on the 4Runner really helped.

I had a line on a winch coming out of a totalled truck but the seller backed out so I ended up ordering a new one with a solenoid relocation kit. I imagine that I'll be seeing that stuff early next week. Turns out that Warn has a $150.00 dollar mail in rebate going on right now so that took a little bit of the sting out of the purchase.

 

@ChandlerDOOM,

This is the 80/20 Quick Frame that I was talking about. It has the different flange options extruded into the profile making lots of possible arrangements.

Also, is this the thimble you were telling me about?

 

Hah I was just about to ask you who makes those the other day cause I was searching high and low. And yeah that's the one, only downside is you have to keep an eye on the d ring in the flat link in case it side loads. But realistically most of the line pulls one would do wouldn't have a chance of that happening

 

I looked at one of those thimbles and said nope nope nope for now, haha. Too pricy at the moment.

 

I hear ya, but I went ahead and ordered one. I figure if I don't spend it now, when I die it will get wasted on stuff that isn't truck related. Tried to grab a half dozen red powdercoated Crosby - Made in Texas - shackles as well but my source is currently out.


Moar things in the mail!






These @dirt designs shock bucket top engine crossover brackets are beautiful. Really stoked to have them in hand and will take them to Austin at Wolf Fab so we can fit them and then measure and make the crossover bar. I'm going to have one huge pile to drop off on the powdercoater pretty soon.



Trying to keep up with @ChandlerDOOM, so I bought some "cool kid" lugs.

On to intake/snorkle related issues. I think I am going to try to use my Toyota cyclone intake and turn it to face the cowl like @Mach375 did in this thread. This would be easy/inexpensive to remove and return to stock if I decided it wasn't going to work for me and I don't have to tear up the fender for now.

 

Got 2 of your hoodies done buddy. Got one more to finish then they're getting shipped to you buddy

 

Good to hear, snow mixed with sleet this week.

 

Maybe @Shmellmopwho can post pics of his in here to get your spirits up.

 

@Sacrifice, do you have your Dirt Design crossover brackets in hand? If so, Austin says he already has the correct tubing in hand and could easily knock it out in an hour-ish. We could have them both done this weekend but I need to let him know today so I can get us on his calendar.

 

Happy birthday @YotaDan, thanks to you and the others at for helping make this project a success.
