Raleigh North Carolina and surrounding areas

Where was that from FB or something? @ThunderCookies knows about those malls but at least he doesn't have 24x12 and his truck looks really good!

 

Yea I’m still a part of tacomaworld southeast on Facebook and that popped up today. I didn’t want to comment and be a dick so I just did the laugh reaction. Not much activity in that group

 

Got ya kinda sucks with FB groups not being active and kinda their own little culture not really getting involved anywhere else.

 

local bottle shop, local brewery called New Anthem, all there beers are quotes or lyrics from songs. The one was called hand me down Pumas, from Johnny Ryall

 

Your nice

 

That there is 900 pounds of e-recycled computer motherboards

 

If you guys go what time are you guys thinking?

 

Link in my signature for the thread. URE is the link.

1st page explains the usual meeting time and place which is 9 am at Eldorado Outpost. There is also information on the passes and such. If people are camping and stuff then the plans usually are worked out with meeting and stuff for camping vs. day trips.

 

Do you get paid by the recycling center for those like you would scrap metal?

 

Any suggestions on best rock lights?
On a budget

 

Amazon that shit, the ones I got are good but I advise you get the white ones and not disco. Opt7 brand iirc

 

The one's I just got from my TWSS you can choose what color you want and the # in the kit. You'll have to make the harness and get a switch separately though. If you get the ones that have bluetooth capability and disco functions like Aaron I'll help you install them. Just ask Aaron I am a good helper and tester of the lights

Here are the ones I have. From what I found they are better than the cheapest as far as durability and such but a lot cheaper than Rigid and BD

I have a guy who volunteers at the shop and he does the e- waste, that was worth little over $600

 

Wow that's a lot better than what scrap metal goes for.

 

Yea good price, but takes a long time to get that much thou

 

When, not if.
We usually leave Raleigh late afternoon on the Friday before.

 

But but....I’m a mall crawler with bigger aspirations

So as soon as I got the bumper on and started showing people they kept asking about a winch (probably because I put the chrome winch cover on that @Sandman614 had lying around). My father-in-law said he would get me one for Christmas. I didn’t believe him at first but then a few days later (on the eve of my wedding no less) I was driving through the neighborhood and this dude got his Honda stuck in a ditch after all that rain we got a couple weeks ago and I got flagged down to help him out. No winch. So me and this woman helped push him out. This was on my way to the rehearsal dinner for my wedding so of course I was late and now covered in mud and my father-in-law’s only response was “if only you had that winch...”

So I promptly added one to my Amazon wish list and poof it was gone

Went with a smitty.

At the time I added it it was almost $500, pretty good deal on it right now. Not sure if he got the deal or not. I won’t get it until Christmas so it can be my first mod of 2019. Hopefully no one decides to off road their Honda Civic near me before that

 

Dude that is awesome!!! Next time just have a tow strap or 2 in the truck and some shackles and hook it up to the tow points on the truck then you won't be pushing or getting muddy because you can make the owner of the car hook it to their car and just instruct from the sideline.

If you've got bigger aspirations come to URE with some of the guys sometime and get a little taste of what it's like. PSA I am not responsible if you get addicted to the off-road life.

 

I have the same winch. The non wireless one. Good solid winch

 

@TacoGoonin, @ovrlndkull, @JustSomeDude, @Sandman614 -- Thanks for the warm welcomes and good info, much appreciated!

I picked up my new Taco just this afternoon, so now it's official...let the games begin!


I also fully understand where you're coming from, @Dangerdave...here's my other toy:


I'm here to help build some bridges, too!
