GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Im excited that this worked out for you @CowboyTaco

@zippsub9 great job on expediting this deal on your end and being the middle man for CowboyTaco.

 

Truly. @zippsub9 came through in a BIG way.

The seller had several people lined up and wasn't willing to hold it until Saturday. I either had to get there the next day or forfeit the deal.

A big thanks to @CountryDan for finding and posting the deal and @backcountryj for the tag.

 

I've learned if you attach a bottle opener to anything you can charge an extra $5 to $10 and the bottle opener cost less than a buck.

 

I don't hate this look haha. @CowboyTaco what basket is that on your cab? Looks good.

 

That's actually @zippsub9 's truck with my new cap on it for the time being.

 

Ohh yeah my bad....See the shell looks so natural on there even when it's a foot short I had forgotten it wasn't even his haha

 

Pretty awesome, maybe a sb MGM will pop up sometime, I'm starting to really dig the topper look. Just not digging it for $1000 +, haha.

 

Hey @Chrisf06, Looking at your media, you got the same color taco and 2nd gen, grilling pics, watch pics, and that miata pic which I'm pretty sure I took a pic of that same car and sent it to a friend like 6 months ago. We just might be the same person b/c clearly we share the same interest and taste in offroad miata's haha

 

Haha, that must be what is drawing me to the topper, I need the final piece to keep us matching. What part of town are you in? I can't imagine there are many of those miatas around, had to be the same one. I saw it over at the Glenwood kroger.

 

In in Gwinnett but work in Decatur and saw it there so yeah most likely the same one. Just saw your fire pit picture too. I just finished building a similar one in my back yard also with stone and all haha. It's getting weird! A camper top is definitely worth it in my opinion if you can find a deal. the $2300 for a new one is way to steep for me and even the $1000 for used ones I see is still more than I would have ever wanted to pay. I got mine for $450 and I saw one sell on this forum in S. Carolina in Feb for $400 color match mgm. So they are out there, just keep looking! Honestly looking at mismatched ones on some rides looks pretty good. So you could probably find any color top and plastidip it matte black and it would look good on a mgm truck.

 

In case y'all missed this. Some pics and vids worth watching.

I'm not so much into the mudding, but looks like a good time was had by all.

 

MGM is a pretty common color. You should be able to find one relatively easy.

Just tag @Built2Ride and he'll find you one in no time

 

@zippsub9
When I saw this thread today I click on it really hoping I'd find your pic in it today and was not disappointed haha
Show me your Pyrite Mica!!!

 

May I ask, Why Demello?

 

I'm going out on a limb and obviously can't speak for JB. However, that being said, Demello is one of the few manufacturers that I know of who reinforce their bumpers. ARB being the other that I know of. They are just stronger and build to be abused. They also cost more as a result.

 

I'll second that I too will let JB chime in with his own words. But having had several extended conversations with him regarding armor/trucks/lights/etc., what @CowboyTaco pointed out is most definitely a contributing factor for why he went with Demello.

 

Because they are the jam!

 

I am all for helping the little mom and pop businesses, just trying to stay local. I was looking at SOS Concepts for me, but I know absolutely nothing about the differences between them.

 

Eddy makes some great products. Specifically his skids and sliders. I personally do not care for the styling of his front bumpers. The SOS rear with swing outs looks pretty nice though.

I might suggest you give @BadgerBoy a shout via PM.

On a side note, today is the last day to get 20% off SOS armor.
