Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Looks real nice

 

Grease it once a year, before winter. Spring pads will always wear out.

Hit it with fluid film on your yearly touchup.

Sold mine for $200 w/o sensors, had a bite about 30 min after posting, was gone an hour later.

There are TONS of fire roads that are super duper scenic.

Head an hour south of Branson. Plenty of unpaved county/fire roads that can get gnarly. Needed skids/sliders on one this past June.

Can confirm. And the Arkansas TW crew are regular riders in the area.

Oh and the camping.... Phenomenal. Best thing I found down there is when you stop at a tourist kind of place like one of the many scenic overlooks, ask them for the motorcycle, maps and routes. There's also a really active Jeep club in the area that will share their route maps with anyone who even looks at them sideways.

 

17 years ago we built our garage, 30×30
First thing I said when it was done was, "It's not big enough".

 

Anyone interested in a DRT Fabrication hitch skid that's had some minor use? I'll also inclue a locking hitch pin. Will work on a Tacoma or 4Runner. Asking $125 for local sale.

I did repaint the underside since the picture.

 

Since were going to be camping spot mates, I’ll bring my collection of essential pumpkin and squash oils from across the world. The premium Overlanding community would appreciate some premium product, and we should fill that need. Maybe we can have a little party and invite others for a sampling, compare notes, etc.

Can’t wait for the trip! Still have to decide on which pair of Ugghs I’m taking though.

 

@McSpazatron

Are your leaf blower and trimmer getting along better?
I know this of year the trimmer must get jealous of the blower.

 

Late yesterday afternoon, I decided to fix my dealer's F/U. They were the only one to do maintenance on it for a good long while. When I decided to start doing my own oil changes, I found that they broke off the two front skidplate bolts...never mentioned this to me. Had the balls to blame me when I mentioned it. Now they wonder why I don't go there for service anymore.

So, I thought I'd drill into the bolts and try to remove them with easy-outs and my cordless impact. After not getting far, I decided screw it and pulled out the die grinder with a cutoff wheel. Cut the nuts off, pulled out some new nuts and welded them in place of the old ones. New bolts got a liberal coating of anti-sieze. All is well.

 

Camped at Devils Lake this past weekend - not my usual cup of tea but a good time nonetheless. Made me once again appreciate quick set ups.

 

When can i bring mine over? I SUCK at building things hahah!!

 

Welcome to Wisconsin Tacomas @grizz_wi

Make sure you lock up the credit card before you log in!!!!

 

Only one way to get better at building things is to build things.

And welcome to the club!

 

Appreciate it!! I actually bought the plywood and carpet/glue last night and have 0 tools to cut wood LOL, I'll find someone!!!

 

I have the tools, bit of a drive though!

 

I like driving If your serious pm me lol

 

@grizz_wi have you posted a pic of your ride? We like pictures!

 

She's a 2022 lunar rock access cab with a manual transmission. I drove to Indianapolis last Friday for it! Fluid filmed it the 2nd day I got it. My 17 Chevy was rusting so I'm hoping this helps!

 

Very nice, and another member of the MT Club! The fluid film does defiantly seem to help. Large majority of us spend quality time under the truck spraying it down in fall.

 

Just saw this one!

 

I saw the wood ones and thought they were damned nice...$800 nice . Then, I went out to the shed and found enough steel tubing to do one for myself. All-in-all, I think I have under $300 in mine. Was great to pull out the chop saw, welder, and grinder. Those things haven't gotten much work since I quit racing.

 

Yours looks good, the brother and I threw this together tonight. It's cheap and will work for now , until maybe winter and we build a fancier one
