NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I've seen a guy bend his screwdriver doing that because he wasn't thinking and didn't insert it all the way down the handle

@mutilatedjak , I think we have a video contestant. I'm done holding the title belt.

 

I had it attached when I had the AAL, but cut it off when I installed the all pro standard leaf pack (11 leaf's). Ive had no issues since the cut.

 

I just tie rapped mine all the way forward to the front mount till i figure out what to do with it. It would have been very tight when flexing. This way it leaves extra room for the extra flex from the new icon AAL. Did you place the long side of the AAl to the rear? Mine looks a little different.

 

Maybe i put mine in backwards. Icon says long side to the rear.

 

Looking for ideas on what to do with this.... It's an aluminum guided missile warhead case. I want to come up with something cool and useful for it in the bed of my truck.

Any ideas?

 

You did it correct. I did it wrong and had to redo it

 

Would it cause any problems driving with rear shocks and aal done and not the front? Thinking about waiting until tomorrow to finish the fronts.

 

Drive line may not be happy. But you should be OK... Unless you drive in the morning before the sun is out. Your lights won't be very good.

 

Was wondering about the drive line. Its only 3 miles I'll Uber and back at it in the morning. Thanks for the help and input everyone.

 

Fill it with ice and alcohol for wheeling trips

 

Alcohol is a good idea, but then alcohol is ALWAYS a good idea!! I was thinking clean it up and put camp chair or tent/sleeping bag? Or maybe put some biohazard stickers on it and make it your bug out missile silo with food/water/ammo? Not sure how long it is or if you have a roof rack but keeping recovery gear on your roof rack might look cool and be functional? Let us know with pics!! That is a VERY cool container!!!

 

How do you damage the front end like that while backing up? Did he close the garage door on it? Or pick the wrong gear?

 

You let your wife back it out of the garage.

 

It is about 3 feet tall, and 14in by 14in. I like the cooler idea, if only the lid wasnt on an end heh, would suck trying to get whatever is at the bottom. Because adding alcohol is always a good idea heh

 

Have someone who works with metal modify it for you. Weld/seal the current lid. Cut one side to make a door with latches. Find some sort of insulation for the inside?

 

I was thinking that too... I can only weld steel though. Just better make sure you don't screw up cutting the new opening heh

 

I haven't seen him (yet). Sandy said she saw a Tacoma recently that looked almost identical to mine but "not beat to shit, like yours"

In more exciting news - I just ordered a new set of shoes! The (slightly used) Toyos I put on there last year have been okay, but they are definitely not the best tire out there. They're already getting squirly in the rear, they wear quickly, they don't balance well, and they are HEAVY. Off-road performance is adequate (at best), but not as good as the MT/Rs or Baja Claws I previously had.

I've been eyeing the ATZ P3 since they came out, and also the STT Pro that are all the rage right now. I saw that MT updated their MTZ design as well (which I've always liked) to follow in-line with the ATZ P3. After reading some good reviews and finding a good deal - Mickey Thompson MTZ P3s are en route! 285/75r16 to be mounted on my steelies.

 

sweet! keep us updated on your experience with them.

 

Lmao course not Dude you're the best though! I'm still stoked!

I literally shed a tear

 

Will do.
