They don't fit...

 

I can get a picture when I get home. Could definitely use a paint job but it’s beefy.


Edit: I have his skid in my garage

 

I’ll have to look to see what the drive is and what the plans for that weekend might be

 

You should come! I’m guessing 2.5 hrs! Punch in Thompson ct.

 

@crashngiggles , busy on the 24th!?

 

Ya 2 plus, I might camp Saturday. Need to check with the other half. But we both are itching to get the tent back open

 

Things are a little up in the air right now. It might be a "game day" decision. I also have to figure out a day and time I can meet up with Drew @tacobell007 so my can fix my rear emergency brake lines as well as install my 650lb springs in my Fox coilovers.

 

Most weekends should be alright. Hopefully a warmer one if possible

 

Sunday, March 24th is the next RI trip??

 

Yeah, I’m now a maybe for this. My steering rack is leaking pretty good. Nice new one on the way! Hopefully I can get it in this weekend and be good.

 

Just wear & tear or trail damage??

 

Both! 35s don’t help!!
Rack appeared beat when I bought it a few months ago and knew it was coming. Really not surprised, I have wheeled this like 6 times since January

 

Candidate for a rebuild?

 

As mentioned it's an ifs skid made by Joel, its super stout and other than needing some cleaning is good to go! Only reason I'm not still running it is because I chopped off the crossmember that the 2 front bolts screw into, so I physically can't run it (treated me better than the new one too ) $200?

 

Solo is going to rebuild my oem from truck #1. $350 plus shipping and I bought a new rack from nucar/ old Boch Toyota. For now I’d rather have 2 good rack's for $1k than 1 great rack for $2k.
Hope I don’t eat my words!

 

My front dashcam saved everything from the tree stump situation to the end of the trip, working on the footage now.

Some highlights are the lady in the Bronco hitting that rock she didnt see, ATV going full send, our group sending it through the mud, getting stuck a couple times and more.

Also why are RI drivers so slow? Its ok to go the speed limit or a little more.

 

Just out of curiosity - are there any public trails in CT?

 

Zero but come for a ride in RI or NH.

 

Would definitely love to - don't have a Tacoma at the moment (waiting on a '24) but have a couple other vehicles we could bring. How often are y'all arranging ridings?

 

Doesn’t have to be a Tacoma!! We try for as much as possible, probably about once a month.
