They look good Mike. I thought you were going to weld up the filler plates

 

Sweet mike! I'd be happy to help mount em up!

 

I am open the next two Sundays if you guys want help

 

I need to get my hands on som metal bits to drill the frame.

 

Maybe we can take care of your sliders the same time we do Mikes

 

That would be sweet. I'll see if I can get my hands on some honing oil... Help those bits along.

 

Thanks guys! I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the fill plates yet, that's one of the main reasons I haven't bed lined them yet. I've got 3 options, weld them completely, Bondo them completely or do nothing and mount them as-is.

Either way, I want to do something underneath where the plates meat the tubes. I'm thinking of some sort of caulking to keep salt and gunk from building up and rusting those corners out. Not sure what to use for that yet because I don't want to trap water and salt that works it's way in from the top.

 

The guy said there 15s oem Toyota so it looks I gonna get them. 120 for wheels is great. Then I can order my tires. Decisions decisions lol. What to get.

 

PB Blaster actually works pretty well as cutting oil in a pinch. I mean, someone told me that once...

 

Are you going to start changing your tires like it's going out of style again?

 

Haha good stuff. I use that s*** on everything...

 

Pretty much! Modern day snake oil. I don't even have WD-40 in my garage any longer.

 

I have a few cans in my truck at all times

 

Same here. I switched to Liquid Wrench as a penetrating oil though. They were sold out of PB Blaster and I bought some of the other stuff and works just as well (and sometimes can be cheaper).

 

Oh yeah that stuff isn't bad! In fact I have a few cans of that in my truck too lol

 

Yup, you know it. I'll have new tires every month.

 

I thought you kept your old tires from the 2010?

 

The dealer said 20k with the tires on it. They wanted it so

 

Damn, you should have switched the wheels and tires before you showed it to them! Of course you can't show them one thing and expect them not to want it. Oh well, you still got good money for your truck, would have been better if you got to keep your tires also

 

Yeah I should have done that. I looked on cl but there were like 300 for tires and I didn't have the money so that's why I just traded it in. I got good money for truck so I'm not to worried. I'll have money for tires. I'm going for 15s anyways so they wouldn't fit
