    I'll get some tomorrow with the new tires for sure. And I did get some monies today for bday... so the rear setup is moving on up...

    Thinking:

    OME Leafs and bushings
    OME greasable shackles
    Icon 2.0 non-resi rears

    And some sliders if I can find some...:anonymous:

    Sliders > everything (Except brakes, lol)

    I'd rather have sliders on a stock vehicle than a lift and tires and no sliders in almost every situation

    True. Was just gonna throw new pads in for now, but may just do the tundra upgrade and sliders. What's your availability look like for sliders? Any info on them? Weld on dom with a kick out?:fingerscrossed:

    Not a formal group but folks are going to be out there camping and wheeling. I'm hauling some of my girls furniture to dripping springs then off to Llano to help a friend so I'm gonna pass. New suspension goes in on 6/10 so I would go again to HF after c&c to see what it'll do

    If I can get my ass up to C&C early enough, I'll take one. The last time I tried was pretty much a bust. What's the consensus on arrival time? Would they still let me in by 7 or 8?

    Moving the antenna to the bumper is the ideal place to me. Maybe a little distracting but clear LOS and can double as clearance indicator when entering parking garages or drive-thrus. Someday when I can replace the front bumper that's my plan.

    Someday...

    Not sure. Maybe? I'll likely be backing out regardless so I can mount my sliders this weekend. Sounds like some east TX folk might be planning a day there in June.

    You'd still get in at 8. I'll get a round up post going tomorrow night hopefully so we can get to planning and all the details.

    As for HF, may still and go and see who we can meet. We're both itching to get dirty :mudding:

    Unless you're ok with an angled kickout gonna be honest and say i'm probably not skilled enough to do one. They'd also be weld on. And would have to wait until probably end of August... basically I want to try making sliders but now isn't the right time and i'm still a newb, haha. Would use standard .125 DOM tubing though probably. If you wanted to buy a kit, though, I could weld it up for you easily, and i'm sure @Texoma could as well. Gonna buy a new welder here soon I hope

    My new tires should be here on Monday! :bananadance::bananadance::bananadance::yay::yay::yay::mudding:Ordered some FALKEN AT3w in LT265/75R16 E-range since they seem to be pretty positively reviewed. I was hoping they would be here sooner, still hoping they arrive early.

    Long shot, would anyone want the old BFG KO's? (FOR FREE) Size is factory LT265/70R16 D-range, Factory for the TX-BAJA. They would be decent for a trail rig or if you are in a pinch for tires. I think they're original to the truck, so they have about 50k and will probably do another 20k with how little they are wearing. I really don't want to throw them away, they just made me a good deal on tires I already wanted.
