Colorado B.S. Thread

Haha! My brother used to live in Englewood, a block from his RV dealership. When I was at I-70/470 he would always say he's in Kansas when at my house. Right when my offer was accepted in Elizabeth, he tells me he had put in and had an offer accepted even farther east just before Kiowa. Never expected to see him move out this way, but they're looking to relocate their shop and the towing business can be worked remotely. Now we're just 10 mins from each other

 

How's his RV dealership going? I used to live just west of Santa Fe off Belleview, rent it now.

 

I think they have about 3 units left to sell... they made a massive come back after nearly losing it. But of course now production is way behind so it's hard to give people an ETA if they put in an order.

 

Is having it delivered to you work or something a viable workaround?

 

Don't think they'd appreciate that...

Where do y'all get parts outside of RockAuto? Usually go through them but my last order as from 2018 and shit's changed since then, it seems.

 

Powerstop lists Amazon, Auto Anything, CarID, Jegs, Summit Racing, Rock Auto, 4 Wheel Parts and Auto Zone as authorized retailers.

I'd see if Auto Zone is offering online discounts or walk into the store with the Rock Auto cart printed or on your phone and ask for a price match.

 

That’s actually part of the rental agreement

 

FYI

 

I haven't been able to order from Rock Auto for a long time with Centennial/Aurora addresses. Bummer

 

Nothin to see out here. Better stay away

 

Can't order from Rock Auto anymore in Durango.

 

I order from norwalk toyota now that camel bak and rock auto are difficult or not competitive

 

I believe that you already mentioned this, but what is the link to his website? My mom is in the market.

What do I need to know about 2011 2nd gens? I don't like the interior as much as the 12-15, but... I do like the Speedway Blue. I think it would look good underneath the Vagabond Drifter and swap over my 2012 FJ Cruiser wheels with 32's.

Has the following two packages:

V6 Tow Package: 4 Class-4 hitch, transmission and supplemental oil coolers (transmission cooler not available on manual transmission models), 130A alternator,
heavy-duty battery, 7-pin connector with converter

SR5 Extra Value Package: Power outside mirrors (Access Cab models only), remote keyless entry system, cruise control, variable-speed wipers, chrome grille surround and rear bumper, color-keyed front bumper and overfenders, fog lamps (V6 models only), sliding

So, I don't get the useless Sport hood scoop or the useful TRD eLocker (which I have only used on my 1st gen to do stupid things like park on snow piles at the mall parking lot).

My plans would be suspension, WeatherTech liners, ECGS bushing if has vibes, bed stiffeners, and a heavy gauge wire to the bed for camper stuff.

For suspension, I can install OEM 3rd gen take-offs, right?

Anything else I'd be really bummed not to have from the Sport or TRD in a 2011?

 

3rd gen suspension (if it even bolts up, I’m not sure) is going to leave you disappointed with the weight of the vagabond on the back.

 

How many blow jobs does it come with for 19k?

I got my 06 off-road for 14k with 132k miles And besides getting a new frame, typical maintenance and fixing the thing from my abuse it's been great. Has 155k now and I wouldn't hesitate to take it across the country.
3rd gen suspension will bolt up and give 1 inch lift in the front. Check leaf springs to see if it's the updated 4 leaf pack. Check frame by catalytic converters. My bosses 2nd gen steering rack just started leaking at about 100k and mine has leaked since I put 35s on.

 

I'm not paying $19k, so we can take that out of the equation.

 

Good luck getting the price down to an acceptable amount .

If it was me I would get an OR for the locker. Even if you don't intend to use it it's nice to have. Like having a winch it'll save your ass if you get stuck. I'd rather press a button and turn on a locker rather than pull 50ft of winch line in the freezing cold because I can't make it back up a hill to get off the trail.

 

I may just do airbags for a bit until I figure out what I want to do long term... (BAMF/Archive Garage hangers, Alcan)
