DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

It was Lone Wolf Off Road in Krum, but looks like he recently deactivated his company Facebook page and website. His IG is still active @lonewolfoffroad

 

yeah, Travis / Lone Wolf is more or less out of the game for a while it seems. Last I heard he had to take a full time gig for stability and was cutting way back on the fab work.

 

Great seeing everyone and checking out new work (and new trail damage @SuperBad). Next go around I should have my new rack on.

 

Transmission (“normal” thunk when slowing down to a stop)
“Sweaty” rear diff
Rear leg room less than compact cars (probably won’t be able to rear-face two car seats when the time comes)

 

I gave mine away a while back

 

For me the transmission got noticeably better after 20k miles, still not perfect but definitely not as harsh when I got it new. I hear you on the "normal" thunk noise, but coming from my 1st gen I had all kinds of weird noises that I thought were a mechanical breakdown waiting to happen, nothing ever did the 100,000 miles I had it. Take the same sort of approach to the thinking noise. Half the time I'm deaf anyhow listening to music at 55 volume. Lol. There's a thread somewhere in the 3rd gen forum pertaining to DC's fitting rear facing seats it's not too bad imo.

With that all being said though I'd buy a full size truck before a midsize DC Tacoma if we planned on having kids sooner. Wife got a t4r so covered incase any "oops" situations happens. Hell I grew up with my dad sticking me and my brother in his 88 Toyota pickup. Never complained onced and it didn't even have jump seats like my AC has.

 

Great meet nice seeing everyone again been awhile! Farmbyrds was awesome, brought my food home and the wife was upset I didn't bring her. I think @Zac of all trades had the most knarly damage from that light pole. Lol. Also your kickouts are on goddam steroids.

 

Not sure light poles count as trail damage, but it sure was a good example of what sliders can save your ass from.

 

I think that Danger close got into a new shop but i will have to find out where. He posted something about it a while back.

Yeah they are must have! Can save you in many ways!

 

Anyone having problems seeing the images in my signature?

 

Yeah there not showing up

 

My red 85 xcab in 96-97

 

Only decent photo I got with el drone. Need to go to remote location next time for better group pic

 

Somehow got stuck putting a toytec lift on my brothers pro 4r. Ghey

 

Did get to see an LFA at the Lexus dealer. Had to go use a real spring compressor at a Lexus dealer my neighbor works at lol. That lift was a BITCH to install

 

Anyone wit a prinsu still run there truck through the car wash or did I sign up for hand washing???

 

Welcome to the land of cursing the prinsu when you wash the truck...

I now wash it fully then drive around the block making sharp turns so all the water gets out of the channels, then going back and doing the towel dry on the truck...

A huge regret is that I didn't have the roof wrapped before I put the prinsu on the truck... then I wouldn't really care as much, but I still hand wash the truck anyways.

 

Car wash is fine, but the roof will still be dirty.

You won’t hurt the rack, though.

 

I was mostly just worried about one of the brushes catching and ripping it all off. I got the roof wrapped Friday. Here you go for all who didn't see yesterday.

 

Roof wrap looks damn good!!!
