Alabama thread!

yeah im not sure when it was but at some point later down the road apparently toyota thought it would be a good idea to start puting a small tack on the head of the bolts. dont really know why or how that would be a good idea but xoduece is actually the one that pointed it out to me in the first place and then when i went out to look at my truck sure enough it had it. so i dont know how but somehow im gonna have to break that tack, or just get pissed off and drill the bastard out and find a new bolt to replace it????? never know depends how much patience i have when i work on it.

 

We all know the one way to turn those frowns upside down on a Monday...

 

About to have my tube bumper built.

 

Nice! ^^^^^^! And the tube step bumper is going to be cool also.

Edit: That sucks, got moved to the next page so my ^^^^^ isn't quite right.

Edit: Edit: I seem to be late to the party and missed the real link posted elsewhere!

 

does anyone in north Alabama have any experience using Freddie Louis auto accessories? ( I usually use H&H for everything but my guy was on vacation til next week) i went to them today cause im looking for lights to throw on the avid bar. also have an addition to the taco i got my tacoma rubber bedmat from bill penny today!

 

I would just use Amazon for lights.. It's way cheaper then any shop here in town can offer..

 

I got my tint done at Freddie Louis. No problems. One started to peel and they replaced it with no questions or problems at all.

 

yeah they seemed pretty proffesional. and brian now that life has calmed down again and the holidays are over i am still wanting to get my satoshi done. if youre still interested

 

You can drop the grill by anytime. I'll be a bit busy right after the meet, so it would take me a few weeks if you wait until then. If you get it to me in the next few days, I might be able to have it ready to go by the meet.

 

y'all know anything about the anslee farms neighborhood off research park?

 

I know i live a stones throw from there. Why?

 

How is that area? does it flood much? I'm looking at getting in a house out there in the next year

 

I dont think it does specifically there. There is a neighnorhood down the road from there thats has a pond and a creek near it that floods like for example the other day. But nothing ever gets to the road. I think anslee farms would be fine. My girlfriend works with a chick who lives there. I'll have to ask her.

 

ok i may be able to get it to you tomorrow or the day after. pm me your address and number

 

by the way does anyone local have experience with lights? im gonna buy some lights for my avid bar but i have 0 experience with wiring. thinkin about ordering the hellas below here. let me know if someone could help me

$96 HELLA 005750991 500 Series Black Magic Driving Lamp Kit, Multi

What I will have to say about these loghts is.. BE VERY CAREFUL with the lens... I have 2 and both cracked.. It could just be that they are used and fragile by now but I wasn't impressed..

 

I'm not a fan of the kc's i have. They weren't cheap either

 

I mounted hella 500's to my avid bar, so been there done that. Haven't had black magics, but the 500 FF's are fairly tough and cheap.

Wiring is easy. Fuse tap -> switch -> relay under the hood -> battery & lights. We could do the wiring at the meet in probably 15 minutes. I got some of those Scion TC blank switches that fit in the bank to the left of the steering wheel with slight trimming. You'll need a switch of some kind.

Well, you'll need a switch unless you want to put that dinky round switch it comes with in your truck. Yuk.

 

Last thing I forgot: I ended up putting a few washers on the bolt holding each light to the bar. The light mounts for my bar are just slightly too low so if I bolt the lights straight to them I can't aim the lights forward.

 

06tacofireman, I seen you I think in hsv today by freshmarket headed into Jones valley. I was in the blue 2500 with the lift and xd's. Your truck looks good man!
