Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Just got word my sliders are in at the freight depot. Picking them up tomorrow; looks like I now have a weekend project.

Pepperjax or Granite City are cool by me.

 

Sure, lets do PepperJax at noon 2/25. I hope to have my remote start in by then hahaha.

 

PepperJax sounds great.

Might be turning my Taco into a workhorse soon if I buy some land in Peculiar. Anyone know of someone or has a back hoe I could borrow lol
Taking on building a house is daunting, and money is tight, so I want to do as much of the work myself as I can.

 

So PepperJax it would seem. Sounds good to me. Should I bring a five gallon water cooler in case we eat 3 pounds
of Jerky from the Jerky outlet????

Also, if anybody wants some wheels..........

I'd gladly bring em with me.....

 

Nice looking wheel

 

Would rub on mine lol stock life for now.

 

Hey, figured I'd throw it out there.....since I finally got these....

 

You have your spare strapped in the back or got some kind of rack in there?

 

I have a front rail, the second gen accessory part. Its bolted to it currently.
But......ai have an idea for a side mounting at the back that we will be trying to
fabricate soon....

 

I want to get front and rear steel bumpers fabbed up and then fab up a swing out tire carrier at some point...among a billion other things lmao

 

Yes sir....

Thats what im trying to avoid......i like having my bed to use.
With that being said, we'll see what I come up with......

 

I've looked at that also, but i like having my tailgate.....part of why I didnt go swing out on my bumper..

 

You still have your bed rails??

 

Thats what I'm going after, a bedside rail mounted lockable spare mount.

 

Its on my list of soon things......not super pleased with being on the front rail.

 

I've wanted a Taco for a long time, now I finally have it. In Inferno, and a 6spd.....would have loved to have an ACLB 2nd Gen Pro 6spd in Inferno but they didnt make em...not to mention a used is more than new.
I have plans to go.....but am extremely happy so far.

 

I toyed with the idea....but i am horrible about taking pics....and a bit unorthodox in doing things....
We'll see.......in time maybe.

 

We'll see....we'll see.

 

I'm going to agree with Sociopenguin on wanting to keep bed space, but what I planned for a swing out was to retain my tailgate as well. I'd want an arm that swung and latched to one side of the bumper but swings completely 180 to allow the tailgate to drop. Maybe even a second hinge point so you can latch to the top of the tailgate for long loads...something to think about. I really need to download some free drafting software, I haven't been able to design anything since my Solidworks license ended.

I also have a friend with a waterjet who said if I pay for material and a little on top he'd cut whatever I wanted.
