NJ B.S. Thread

Yup! Unless I go to NJ before he does haha

 

SHOTGUN!

 

You need to charge your phone.

 

You know my pain then.....

We will for sure plan something for the TW fam, just may ask you guys to bring your own chairs

 

Don't need to replace them, only when they go. They don't fail very easily compared to 2nd gens and they are kind of a bitch. Our front ones need to get pressed into the spindle and it's a ton of force needed to do it.

Also some pics/vids from the weekend now that I'm sober again.

A SxS had their CV pop out of their diff so luckily we had the tools to get them home:









Pre-runner put in work on that soft sand.

 

Do you think the 26" lines DMZ sells would be fine with your original plans? I'm getting the final few parts for the Archives relocate and shackle flip. Tim's lines will save me $20 over OCTaco's setup.

And with all that said, I have 23" black lines that I ordered from Wheeler's I won't be needing.

 

I'm not sure. @stairgod has a shock relocate and shackle flip. He might be able to guide you.

 

So they're not the type of thing that you'd check and replace if you see certain signs? I'm not about to take on some PITA job if it's not needed. I heed advice.

 

I am pretty sure I have 23" lines from Wheelers. Ended up cutting and bending the bracjet on the axle to get more slack at full droop. Had to get some more slack for the ABS lines too.

 

Off topic.... did you utilize these on your install of your bumper? It looks like the holes are already existing and this might just be for a older Tacoma like an 05

 

Ok, thanks, especially for pointing out the ABS lines.

 

Those help tie the bumper into the frame rail so you dont remove your bumoer when winching

 

Found this today if anyone is interested.Mercedes turbo diesel

 

Ugh I'll have to revisit that because right now the resi's are mounted right in front of the plug that I'd have to remove to install the back end of that support

 

@stairgod

That's a problem

 

Where is this?

 

Remove is putting it lightly. Yank off is the correct description.

I just read somewhere today on another thread that had the same issue. I THINK he just trimmed his resi mount.

 

It's just TW life screaming at me to finally buy a grinder and a some real tools. Instead of borrowing all the time lol

 

Grinding and cutting is in the future. For now I'm just going to mount till next weekend or the week after to get this underway

 

For the past 40 years I haven't needed to grind or cut a single metal thing.
I just got a Dewalt grinder last month and I've been grinding and cutting steel practically daily.
