UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

What shell do you have? It looks similar to mine. I've been wanting to put a RTT on it....Just a bit nervous about it. Does the extra weight affect anything besides MPG which I'm sure decreases drastically just from the drag alone.
My shell doesn't have the tracks on top to mount to, but I've read you can install those pretty easily....Just wanna get an idea of what to expect if I decide to go this route or just sell the shell and get a bed rack with the RTT.

 

They happen once a month, but theres a few different groups that have separate ones so its more like a handful a month.

 

AF Canyon is a joke now days. Used to be my go to spot if I wanted to wet a line on a weeknight at Tibble Fork. Did dang good up there too. Then they redid the dam and added the fake beach and f#$;%# it all up. There are so many damn millennial on paddle boards and crap not even worth the time to go up there anymore.

A true case of missing the old days...

 

Indeed. If you want to get away, then you gotta drive.

 

It's a Leer 100xr. Handles the extra weight just fine. I only take a small 1-2mpg hit with the tent on, so not too bad. And I have a hoist in my garage, so it's only on the truck when we're using it. I haven't really noticed any other downside. I don't do any crazy wheeling, just mild stuff mostly. So the extra weight up top has really affected performance there.

The tracks are pretty easy to install. I did it on my last shell, it's mostly just a matter of measuring multiple time before you drill!

 

Hey everyone! Trying to buy a transmission from a member in SLC and was wondering if anyone was planning a trip down to Flagstaff, Phoenix or Tucson, AZ. Can meet at any one of those places and will gladly reimburse!

 

Not for a while, unfortunately.

 

Well...got the new front and rear bumpers installed on Saturday. Rock sliders and skids should hopefully get here in 2 more weeks.

 

Nice setup. What manufacturer?

 

Both bumpers are from Victory 4x4. They discontinued the rear bumper right after I ordered it in place of their new similar one that allows for adding 2 swing out carriers. Glad I got it before they switched as I wanted this one.

 

How are they even doing coffee at the Cabellas? Are they doing coffee trucks or something? I started the C&C in Salt Lake City at Sunset Coffee after having all of my Subaru friends message me when it got banned from South Jordan at the Beans & Brews. I knew all the owners at Sunset and frequented there for years. It went strong for awhile until people kept inviting their friends in pretty clapped out cars to go at night and hoon around. Caused our good parking structure to get shut down by a new owner that I didn't talk to.

It's really hard to run an event like that. I don't actually run it anymore and let someone else take over as I lost interest in the Utah "car scene". It's severely degraded since then. You pretty much are an unpaid babysitter who gets to clean up after everyone, tell people to not do simple things, and almost get in fights over it. Nobody was ever satisfied when I would sit there cleaning and sweeping the lot until 1am on Friday night and showing up at 9am to keep the event civil (so you don't end up with people like that dude that plowed a mustang into the wall at that Rio Tinto meet).

It sucks too as usually the people that showed up to my meet were a lot more civil than the people that came back around at night and started ruining it.

 

They’re doing it out front of the van’s outlet. Cabelas had their lot blocked off, I talked to their security because he lets us through to go shop at cabelas afterwards. Said they had issues with the super cars and shit doing donuts in their lot.

Overall it seemed pretty tame and under control besides one dude in an aventador with drive out tags that revved the fuck out of it for a solid 30 minutes. It definitely wasn’t the kind of cars and coffee im used to from Nashville where all the rich old dudes bring out the super and hyper cars, much more normal shit than I expected. It was alright though.

 

damn. It's always a few people who ruin it for everyone. but kudos to you for cleaning up and working hard for it. Lots of that goes unseen in events like these.

 

If anyone is looking for archive garage 2.0 rear shock relocation kit Eric is having a sale for the 1st 20 kits.

 

Pretty sweet spot from this past weekend.


Featuring doggo and hungover friend lol.

 

What is THIS? A tent for poor NoT OvErLaNd people?

 

I need to get my front Fox coilovers rebuilt, Any suggestions on where to take them? I could do them myself if I could get the bearing caps to come loose as I've already purchased the oil and seal kits.


Also hit a new milestone on my truck so I'm finally gonna replace the transmission pan gasket along with new gear oil in the front and rear diffs.

 

PM incoming

 

I have a set of 2nd gen Tacoma seats available. These are out of a 2015 with 25k miles. They are Toyota factory leather and not aftermarket. Leather is in good shape and has been conditioned regularly. The driver seat shows a little wear.

The back seat is available too. I plan on replacing the rear bench eventually. There is a little damage in the middle (pictured below).

looking for $950 for the fronts or $1250 for the whole set.
