Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

Oh gotcha. Could have sworn you said you were getting a Raptor when we met up a while back. My bad.

 

I keep forgetting about this thread. Huntersville NC checking in!

 

you are @aturk neighbor

 

who's the mechanic in Charlotte that you trust to work on your vehicles?

 

Indian Land imports isnt bad. I think most of us prefer to do our own work.

 

yea same but the older I get the less desire I have to spend my weekends on the garage floor cursing at my vehicles lol.

Thanks for the tip about Indian land imports.

 

I use Indian Land Imports, and have for the last few years. Terry and his team are great, know what they're talking about, and very personable.

 

what part of Charlotte and what needs working on?

 

To whoever you are. You drive like a douche bag.

 

Anyone have a stock offroad/pro tank skid laying around from upgrading, looking to pick up a stocker

 

anyone know any good fab shops around Charlotte

trying to have a mudflap solution made (high clearance bumper)

 

in Fort Mill....picked up a 2022 TRD Sport 2WD in November. Didn't want the 4x4 and this truck in Army Green popped up locally. Hopping to eventually get back into a Type R once we recover from a home and truck purchase.

Do you guys buy the OEM oil filter wrench or an aftermarket one? Any special tips or tricks for the oil change? Have always dealt with twist of styles previously.

 

Look at the bottom of the thread. There is one linked which I would recommend.

where does everyone go for powdercoat? unless paint is better?

have a bed rack in bare aluminum want to make it black

 

I wouldn’t bother powder coating aluminum but that’s just me. Rattle Rattle Spray Spray!

 

Flocoating in Huntersville best around. Prices vary often it seems, sometimes they are cheap and sometimes they aren't. They did my C4 hybrid bumper for me for $300 which is a cheap price. I dropped off a box of a few random brackets a few weeks ago and it was $200, which is super pricey. I have a new rear bumper coming next week so I will find out what they charge me for that soon.

 

I dunno dude. I have access to a paint shop but paint sounds like a pain for a finish that may not even be as durable or look as good. Paint makes more sense for a car body where it gets washed and detailed.

paint = abrade, prep, base, cure, clear

PC = simply blast, blow dry, powder, oven

 

Going to URE this Wednesday if anyone is off and wants to join. Outpost at 10am.
