209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

Thank you that’s a good idea

 

So, I talked to Matt at Recycled Toyotas (did I mention before, this guy is one cool dude). He told me to call Extreme Offroad in Clovis. Sounds like they can rebuild the shocks and have the ready in less than 4 days.

 

You able to get the rebuild costs from Fox?

 

At this point I don't even care. I just want this thing to work.

 

But for the record... All these "Off Road" and "Suspension" shops in Modesto are friggen pathetic. Not one of them can do it, or even know anyone local that can.

 

I recall the shops in Modesto being mostly just "bolt on" (OK they can cut the front cross member) shops for mall crawler (dairy crawler) chevys and fords.

 

The following things were done tonight on the truck.

Washed
Polished with scratch doctor
Waxed
Black trim cleaned
Bumper reinstalled
Swing out and spare reinstalled
Transmission cooler remounted
Tail Lights reinstalled

Janky 5100s put in the place my Fox Shocks should be. Boy, tomorrow's drive to work is gun be sketch. I don't have enough weight on the bed. The shocks only have about 2 inches of down travel before they fully extend... but My leafs have about 4 inches of down travel lmao.

I'm raked like a Pro Modified dragster.

 

I'm beginning to think the resi hose fitting was just loose. When I clamped the resi to the shock body I had to twist the resi (so the sticker would look cool) And since then, there has been no oil residue. It may also be that all the nitrogen leaked out and it's really not under pressure anymore.

 

Well the hospital agreed to pay the repair bill for my RTT! Whew
Thanks everyone for the suggestions and support

 

you make me look like a lazy car owner

 

Unless you count spraying off mud with a garden hose my rigs never been cleaned in the 4 years I've had it. lol

 

The sun is in a bad spot to take a pic.

 

Awesome

 

Put some wider tires on the back and add a wheelie bar and you're set to go. How's it drive after the weight loss?

 

It's really bucky with no weight back there. The leafs are set up to carry a constant load of +400-500 in the bed. I'm only carrying maybe +150 pounds right now.

As soon as I get the rack and boxes and tent back on, it should smooth out a bunch.

 

I've got some things that could weight you down significantly....

 

That shit works? I need something.

 

Ive been wanting to clay bar my truck and get down with some Jet Seal. I know its not a showcar but, i'd like to get something on the paint to help fight off the sun so my paint doesnt look like total shit in 5-10 years.

However, Apartment life sucks lol

I have been waiting to bribe someone with some labor detailing their rig in trade for their garden hose and driveway do to my rig

 

I fix surfboards all the time, that looks like substantial damage. It will have to be sanded down then lay multiple layers of fiberglass cloth on to fix it, then resand and paint.
