35s Are the New 265s Hidden Falls Birthday Bash 9/20-22

At least +50hp

 

All these labor day sales and i.havent seen anyone with tundra stuff... 1st gen stuff anyways. Oh well by black Friday I should be ready to buy full skids and a front bumper.

 

The park is huge and there will be plenty of people around your same build level out there. You'll have a full day for sure. However, if you really want to open up the park, like @weldertaco said sliders are the #1 thing.

 

I honestly built some ghetto square tubing sliders for a wheeling trip on the ole taco one time and it was worth it after going down the first real trail. I’m not saying buy some and overnight them for $1,000. But you got a month. If you can afford it, I’d try to pick up a used set if anything or find a local guy to build you some. It’ll be worth it. You’ll have peace of mind AND be able to do all the fun trails. Win win

 

This is a man who's advice you should take only thing more important than sliders on these long ass Yotas are a nice set of tires

 

I’ve just seen too many people try to pick good lines on trails they shouldn’t be on and bam. It’s never worth it lol. Wreck your stock bumpers. Get some pin stripes. Even a flat. But nothing is worse than messing up your door or rocker panels where you can’t open or close your door lol.

Everything is way cheaper and easier to fix

 

Ok so if I can make it out then I should be set to get a little more adventurous than last time. My cross member took a beating last time. It's crushed and torn. Gunna try to replace before I buy skids black Friday

 

Stock rear bumpers on vehicles with 6'+ beds don't last long either lol

 

Yeah man, there's no pressure to go balls to the walls just ease into it. Never gonna learn what you and your vehicle can do if you never try, and trying is the whole point of going out there.

 

Now that's a short bed...

 

Pretty much just having a bed in general

 

If you call 6 inches a bed

 

My rear bumper will be the last thing I replace. It's integrated into the hitch. It's pretty much not going anywhere. Just limiting my departure angle

 

Gawd dammit you got in before the ninja edit

 

Anything that has anything hanging after the rear tires if you wheel like (I used to) you do lol.

Just chop the frame after the front tires and before the rear and you’re golden

 

I have definitely been keeping my eye out for a used set. For the right price I could pick up a set. Lead times from most places are INSANE.

 

I know everyone likes name brand stuff because #doitfortheGram

But honestly any welding shop could make you a set. They’re super simple and kinda hard to mess up and then you could save lots of money from shipping and no lead time

 

Odds you or someone in here know a guy in Houston? Ha.

 

The engine itself will be fine, it’ll melt the intake manifold couplers. Which you’ll know when it happens because it’ll run like it’s got 1 cylinder. Every year after ROT people would bring their bikes into the shop I worked at and complain that their bikes were running crappy. Sitting in that traffic and the parade would just melt the couplers, semi-easy fix.

 

Yeah just keep creeping on Craigslist. Found my Mobtown’s for $400, dude traded his truck in for a tundra.
