Colorado B.S. Thread

Broc says he’s going to hang out in the yard today.

 

Seems AA Toppers has a Taco bedrug for $300. It says 6ft 2nd gen https://aatoppers.com/used-closeouts/used-bedrug-sale-from-150-00/

 

Used Bedrug for $300? Seems like they haven't changed business practices of charging more than top dollar for what they sell. They really screwed me on a replacement window for the SnugTop that @Madjik_Man now has. They misordered a Tundra one that cost more and then didn't give me the difference back when the correct one showed up weeks later.

 

Does anyone have a stock exhaust off a 2nd gen laying around? All I really need is the U pipe from the muffler over the rear axle.

 

That sucks. In my limited experience with them, they've always done me right.

 

HA! I made irish lamb stew this weekend and it was the best stew i've ever made! Glad to see so many of you were on the same page!

 

Congrats! Join us on the supercharger thread and read the first few posts a few times.

Thanky sir, still new to superchargers but the drive home was miles better yesterday than my previous taco. You were next on my list of people to buy from.

I've been catching up on that thread, still trying to digest even the small amount of info there. Good stuff.

 

@Deathbysnusnu what drive line shop do you recommend. I see northern Colorado drive line in Evans but seemed to recall you recommending some up our way?

 

I don't have a shop for you but there's this if it tickles your fancy: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tom-woods-1-piece-driveshaft.815169/

 

NCDL in Evans is the only one I have used. It's been over a decade, but they did good work back then.

@alee891 were you looking at lvp recently? We are looking into getting rid of the carpet upstairs and I was curious about what you went with? Damn where is Marty and his tile/flooring expertise......

 

I was asking about it some time ago, but haven't made the move yet. That will be a Spring 2024 job now, but I can keep you up to date on what I find out. We had good experience using FoCo Home Depot (or whoever they contracted) to carpet the basement after we finished it earlier this year. I'm going to be shopping around for lvp quotes after the holidays.

I can reach out to Marty on Instagram for ya if you want to talk shop?

 

I can also reach Marty if you want Andy.

I've done our entire house in LVP (bedrooms, living rooms, kitchen, basement, stairs, etc.). Installation isn't too bad, just depends on how your rooms/house is laid out. Stairs suck to do. We went with Shaw/Cortec from Carpet Exchange and I'm very happy with it. Pay attention to wear layer and plank variation when shopping around. Lots of the cheaper stuff that HD and floor and decor sells has a thin wear layer (less than 20 mil) or they don't have lots of plank variation and you will quickly see repeating patterns.

 

I am looking at now to first of the year. I need to send carpet exchange some links as the location nearby has limited samples but can get the full shaw line. I'm a bit worried about my base flooring not being as level as I would like due to the house being built in the mid 60s. Based on what I have researched floor and decor has some products that simply don't stand the test of time. I've been keeping an eye on the wear layers as we narrow it down. And the variation for some of them has been pretty bad and they count a flipped side as another variation of the same pattern....

Becca can you send me Marty's contact or ask him if he would come up to Fort Collins for a job?

Last year, no Halloween effort on my part and had a couple dozen kids. Almost ran out of candy.
This year, put in some effort, time and money and not one trick or treater.

Gonna have to put the free candy sign back on the van to get rid of this crap.

 

We were all out last night by 6:30. Fasted we have gone through it since we moved here
