Colorado B.S. Thread

Probably

 

you can buy a spray on stripper I havent tried it but it should work for the chrome I just painted over the chrome about 1000 times now lol If I wasnt lazy I would strip all the paint and chrome and then repaint it

 

First off Hello to the new Colorado faces in here. Second it has been a busy weeken for me. I got the 886 ome kit on and also added an arb bumper. Truck is looking tough but needs the bigger tires and rear add a leaf put in. I appreciate everyones advice on parts. I am very pleased with the ride and stance. So I'm in such a good mood I want to see if I can help out any of my fellow tw taco's. I have the all 4 factory mud flaps that are in great condition. I want to give these to some one it will help out. My only rule is you can not sell them. You can give them away or trade them but can't make any money of them. Also I have my black front bumper with fog lights that is in great condition. It was replaced in 2010 when a deer jumped in front of me. I will take any reasonable offer or if you have a good trade I would entertain that as well. Only interested in 2 gen taco stuff or 9mm or 7.62 ammo right now. No shipping this is for coloradans only. I'll throw a pic of the mods and the old bumper up after work.

 

fuse block installed..


chose to keep it tucked away on the side so i can access my engine easier...i only got the 6 circuit blue sea and my bottom 3 circuits are my rock lights, hella driving lights and piaa fog lights...top is my HIDs and will be backup lights...still have one more open circuit that is accessible on the top..

also went with the 100A breaker and 4ga wiring between battery and block and ground..



see here where i don't have the large plate sticking out



although i will be missing out on the extra space to put more relays...

 

i said fuck it and got a cheap replacement off rockauto that came black and i coated it with a few more layers of satin black for a better finish

 

or home depot, walmart, etc...get a good outdoor paint, but i think satin is a great finish...it's not glossy and not flat, almost like a matte finish...i found it to be the closest finish to my powdercoated black ARB bumper

 

Bob did you go to with today? Didn't see you on 6th haha. Monday and Tuesdays I'm in at 8 am again.

 

Well if you just wana give it away i can't say no

 

hahaha..yea i came in was on 6th around 730...i'm usually in the right lane until sheridan when i move far left...right lane is the new passing lane these days..

 

O yeah nyco how was the snow at Loveland?

 

hard in the morning and around 10 the sun started to work it's magic softening it up...no lines were great too...they have the catwalk route open which can get scrapped off, but the main lower trail is nice

they reported 6in this morning and it's still snowing, so tomorrow should be fun...you may even have some new terrain opening up too between them blowing snow and natural snowfall

 

I don't hit 6th til about 745. 6th is weird with traffic. Going home the left is fast til Federal then I jump over to the right to get on I-25 but the left right turn lane is open haha. Stupid.

 

I drive 6th daily as well... what an odd commute. I'm usually going opposing to traffic tho, so it works .

Great pics from the trail run yesterday tho! Good times. Can't wait to see the videos!!

 

welcome to the site..

i'm usually in the mountains snowboarding every weekend...

i have a loveland pass and a summit pass (abasin, keystone, breck)

last year we had a tacos on the beach meet which turned out great which we'll have to see if we can do again...

i'm up there most every saturday and sunday at one of those 4 resorts with the occasional trip to steamboat, monarch and silverton..

 

Yeah i saw that too I'm hoping it will be good ill see if i can make it up

 

Anyone know much about spacers?

My front wheels rub fiercely, and I want to put spacers on the front only. They're 33" tires (285x75x16).

'09 Taco. I want to know if 1.5" spacers will be enough, or do I need 1.75" or 2.0"? I just don't want to drop $100+ on spacers only to find that I still rub... I guess if I have to do some cutting I will, but the rub isn't on the fenders... so I don't know what to cut...

 

I'll put this on the trading post. But I've got front fenders and flairs for sale. Stock, BSP, and AZ pinstriped like a mofo. Also the bottom part of the wheel wells are a little bent up. Doesn't come with the antenna.

EDIT: The drivers side also has a grape sized paint chip on the very front under where the headlight goes.

150$ for the fenders, 50$ for the flairs.
