Hey, it was nice meeting you yesterday and your truck looks great. Not only can you take a peek at the supercharger, you can drive my truck next time, one of the FJ guys did before you came. I took a few pictures yesterday, I need to post them up.

 

Tacoma's




Work was actually being done!


It took 4 guys to stretch out a new softtop and get it on one the jeeps.

 

Gimme some love in the comments guys!

Mark...I took care of you buddy. That's awesome that you made the dirty dozen! I knew you would.

We still on for Wednesday? Also looking forward to that fried Chicken.

 

That'd be awesome! I'll take you up on that for sure. Cool pics

 

Thanks! And yessir...still planning on it. Getting material today for them!

 

Probably a long shot but I figure I would give you guys first dibs before posting an ad on CL. Is anyone interested in any stock suspension pieces? everything is from a 2013 Tacoma TRD OR DCSB. Here is what I have

Front shocks and coils; assembled: 5,500 miles
OEM UCAs; 5,500 miles
Rear shocks; 5,500 miles
Stock non-TSB leaf pack; 8,5xx
Stock u bolts and bump stops; 8,5xx
Deaver 2" AAL; 3,0xx miles, surface rust but that's it

Please let me know and I will be happy to send pictures etc. This stuff is just taking up necessary space in my garage.

 

Sweet!!!....Still 3:30???

 

If no one wants this stuff and it makes its way to CL, it should all sell fairly quick.....mine all did

 

Yep that will work just fine! See you then...hopefully it warms up a bit!

 

Anyone local interested in actual Sceptor Can fuel cans? I have 2 extras I will get rid of on the cheap. They are exactly like these, description and all:

Spray paint on them and all, lol. The only difference is they need new cap straps still. $50 picked up takes each one.

Parts for these cans can be gotten from:

Dstactical.com

 

Cool...I'll be there.

 

Hey guys I just created a facebook group so we can all chitchat on there as well. It might be easier to get a local group more active. Please if you have a facebook join the group. It will make meet and greets, wrench days, and selling big stuff a little easier for all of us.

 

Here in Indiana with Mark (NwiTACO). Welding on my sliders, doing a fantastic job! .. .and it's done! Came out awesome!

Mark thanks again your work speaks for itself. Had a great time hanging out with you once again as well.

Nice you got some real sliders! Are you going to come out wheeling soon?

 

Well...define real lol. They are much better than the Nfab stepbars he had. They will offer rocker protection, but not a whole lot by means of trees or off camber tree protection since they don't stick out very far.

These are made from what looks like 1/8" or 12ga formed into the shape you see. The legs on the other hand... Those are beef. I added the legs. They are 2x2x3/16" wall tube.

They turned out very well for what they are though!

 

Yes I want to definitely! like Mark said they'll help a little bit but then again I'm not looking to get too nuts.

 

Awesome! I rarely touch my sliders at badlands so you will be just fine. You have a longer truck, but it still won't be bad. Plus you have more lift than I do.


I am so excited to have a few Tacomas in the mix. I love FJs, but I am ready to wheel with some Tacomas.

 

I'm down homi !!!

 

When is the next meeting? Mine is still stock since I'm barely home, but I would like to come out and meet some tacoma folks.

I also have a distinct shift into OD, I think it just might be my TC that locks up at 40mph, truck has 4k mls on it and did it from day one...it's not always there only if I accelerate moderate, maybe someone can take mine for a ride and tell me if it feels normal...had a jeep before and it shifted smoother into OD...the rest were manuals feels like it not easing in

Anyone experience with that?
