209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

LOL

If you want that wheel, my Mom should be at the house. The wheel is in the garage under the front end of Robert's truck.

 

Front brakes: done
Oil change: done
T-Case skid: fucking done with some help from son-of-Blue Canary. We sprayed some primer and paint in the holes through the frame and called it good.
We will see y’all bright and early Sunday.

 

... Awesomeness

 

I'm stoked to finish Niagra Rim trail. Looking at the map, we did the most difficult section last year. I'm not gonna lie, I wish Sheldon was here to go with us.

 

Lmao.... He was so damn stoked about that trip. He damn near convinced his wife they need a Tacoma... then they ended up buying her a new car. Can't even remember what it was. Wasn't a Toyota Truck or SUV, so it doesn't matter.

 

It's all good. He was a great spotter, and super chill.

 

Got some more parts in from @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc... once again, absolutely zero problems with my order.

I'm pretty much at a point where I'm waiting for rear shocks to arrive, so I can rip the entire back end apart, pull the racks, bumper, bed, RTT... and get to...

 

I would have if the dipshit would have been tellin the truth about having the tire

@Pella still needs a spare guys.

 

I'm having one of those internal debates. Is the drive worth it to wheel a few miles? Compounding things is a Rubicon trip a have planned for the 26th. The cool side of me wants to go. The rational side of me says hit it on the way home from the Rubi. I'll do what I always do and flip a coin. I'll flip it by tomorrow night. lol

 

Go with the cool side... It's not just about the few miles of wheeling. It's the hangin out with a bunch of cool people in the woods part that's important.

 

It’s a fun trail but I live fairly close.

Might be worth a weekend to do it, slickrock and deer valley and camp along the way.

 

Goin' to church.

 

Also this.

 

Might be a good warm up for the Rubicon too. Definitely a few obstacles that are as hard if not more hard then the rubicon.

I’ll have to show you though

 

That's my Church.

 

Amen brotha!

 

Checked all my nuts and bolts!

Only one loose one on my drag link. I’ll have to keep any eye on it.

Let’s go wheeling!

 

The fates have decided. Heads is always yes and tails is always no.





I'll leave here at 7 which should put me at the pullout linked about at 10 to 1030. What HAM channel are you guys using. I'll punch it in tonight after I get the rig loaded.

 

Fuck ya!

LET'S RIDE!!!

 

Hey y’all!

Former 209-er in town. Cleaning up our old house site (lost to Detwiler 3 years ago).
Oddly our shed survived that mess. I have an OEM grille still in the plastic. It’s not the bright silver, but a grey (I guess that’s the color?)

I also have a used silver bezel and logo/emblem.
If you can come get them in Mariposa you can have them.

This would have been for a 2016 OR. Not sure of fitment for other years and/or models.

EDIT color is Black Chrome
