MARYLAND TACOMAS

got a couple new toys

engine hoist strong enough to pick up the entire car.



deep cut band saw. even has an LED, so you can cut things too short at night too!



also get the fiero into the garage, so it can finally go under the knife. it is indeed a tight fit, but contrary to what it looks like in the picture, I do have a good 4 feet on the drivers side, which is the side that the transmission is on. and when I roll the hand truck with cinder blocks out of the way, I have 8 feet behind the car

 

I bought the same saw! I love it that thing.

 

love it already. my guys use a number of them every day at work, so I figured it was plenty for some garage shenanigans. built a new coffee table over the weekend, and it cut through some 1/8'' x 2'' steel flat bar as fast as my 1' chop saw. only difference was no sparks, no noise, and it did it under it's own weight. I'm in love.

 

How much does the material cost you? Do you perhaps work in a field where you have access to this stuff? I've considered making my own, but from my research once I buy all the materials it will be as expensive as buying a premade set.

 

I order about 20 sets at a time from a laser house and have them form them too. As for the tubing, I buy large quantities of that too to get my cost down. I made a tubing bender to bend the hoops. I use to do it myself one at a time but lie you see, it didn't pay off. Now I'm out capital for a little while to make profit in the end.

 

It helps that we buy 100's of feet of tubing at a time. We get better prices per foot because of that. We also took a lot of time to call every metal supplier within 4 hours of here to find the best prices.

 

I didn't even see your sig. I thought you were just some random guy like me trying to do mods on his truck. But once you mentioned sets I noticed your sig.

I did check out your site. DOM vs standard? I know DOM is very strong, but is the non-DOM tubing going to bend or something? Also whats the kick out option? Does that price include installing by any chance? this is for the weld on sliders by the way.

 

HREW tubing is still very strong, but has a tendency to dent easier. The kickout is at the back end of the sliders which helps on longer wheel base trucks for tight trails. It pushes the back end away/around obstacles saving your bed side. The price does not include installation for sliders of any kind. To weld sliders to a truck, it is $150 for the labor.

 

Get kickouts!

won't save you every time, but I would have crushed a lot more than a bedside without them.......

 

Smh

 

Do I need something like that for access cabs?

 

Yes. Because we have less cab to destroy, we have more bed to destroy. Just like our friend Colin pioneered the way on...as you can see

 

Plus, you can use the kickout to step on to reach over the bed rail and get into the bed

I personally believe they look better without kickouts...but i wouldn't go without them

 

if there is a gap between your sliders and your tire, a rock and/or tree will find it, regardless of cab/bed configuration. the only thing that changes with configuration is, does it damage your bed or your door.....

 

Bed is cheaper than cab

 

Anyone on here play Zombicide?

 

No.

 

Well you suck lol

 

Not the first time i've been told.

 

Lmao have you heard of it?
