Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

That bumper!

 

I know it's ugly as shit hahaha.

 

Figured he should get some good numbers this year. I really was picking blind and so confused on the auction style. Sucks because I wasn't paying attention and my last two picks were auto picked. Was hoping to get one more QB and TE.

 

Yes sir

I know...bad papa

 

Not how most people would spend $25K.
Let's see:
$5K - Armor. Bumpers, swingout, skids, sliders.
$4.5K - Suspension. Coilovers, springs, UCA, extended brake lines.
$2K - Wheels & tires.
$500 - Winch.
$1K - Dual battery setup.
$1K - Odds and ends.

That's $14K. Add another $1K for tax, delivery, and lost wages due to making all this happen on PTO.

Still have another $10K left for the AT Habitat. Not for everyone, but that's how I'd dump $25K into a 3rd gen...

 

Carr!?

 

Anyone know where I can get just one new 1.25" wheel spacer? (spidertrax)
A lug on one of them sheared (never go to America Tire!!) so I only need one.. A little nervous about having a new lug pressed in, or do you think it would be ok?

 

I'd just pound out all the lugs and press in new lugs. If one sheared off, I bet they over-tightened the rest as well, so that's just waiting for more to shear off. and unless you're doing all the work yourself or know someone that can do it for you, it's almost cheaper to just buy a set of new spacers. They're what, $100 or so for a pair?

 

yep pretty much, there is someone in so cal who just posted some for 80 shipped... think I'll just do that
Just pisses me off that those asshats can't even tighten lugs correctly

good point about all of them being potentially messed up. was so frustrated that didn't even occur to me.
Might be nice to have an extra spacer lying around too!

 

Call them!!! dose anyone pick up a phone anymore? I bet if you call them or DSM you could get some.

 

I'm moving this week and have a few Tacoma things I would prefer not to have to pack and move, make me an offer. All items located in Elk Grove.

- 315/70-17 BFG AT mounted on a Pro-Comp black alloy wheel (has TPMS sensor secured to inside of wheel/tire)

- Tie Downs Large & Small

- Hi-Lift Mount for bed rails

- Tonneau cover with rack system

- 2005-2009 head lights

- Bed Extender

- Front Shock/Spring assembly with spacer (from Pro-Comp 6" lift)

 

i've sheered like 8 lugs off all around, get new extended length lugs and rock out with them.

 

Orrrr


And in non truck related news check out my sweet find, 1920s cart worked perfect for the mini bar I've been looking for! Plus it goes with our "nothing matches so everything matches style"

 

If the budget was $45K... With the low- pro way your rear shocks are setup, an AT Habitat would go nicely on your truck.

If the suspension was spec'd by you, I'd have to bypass the whole camper thing...
Different strokes for different folks. All puns intended.

The Flippac was the first mod to my truck. It made camping with 2 kids way easier and much more frequent. Now that my truck is armored, I get to try more challenging trails. I've spent almost 100 nights in the truck over the last 3 years, and we would have been less likely to do it if I went for suspension and armor first. That being said...

I'd love to see Jimmy do the Rubicon with a Habitat, and see Jason jump his truck with a Habitat, and maybe also do the Rubicon. Will one of you mofos with super-capable rigs please jump on board the popup camper train?

 

Dude, not everyone wants to deploy their truck and trailer by driving off the rear ramp of a low-flying C-130 over an unimproved airfield.

 

"Well that was pretty fucking ninja"

 

I want to see him drive off then shift into reverse for the landing, running backward with the trailer in the lead. Otherwise, not impressed.

 

In for the reverse regear...

 

I'm down
