What treads did you go with on the TG carcasses? where did you get them and how much?

Pap

 

anyone have an indoor place to paint? My satoshi has been on hold after a gust of wind blew it over while priming and it got a gash in it about 2 weeks ago. So I have to fill the gash in the abs, resand it, reprime, and paint/clear coat. This thing as been a very drawn out project. And doing everything outside really slowed it down.

 

Just taking a moment to Thank Josh for a great deal on the Fog Lights......

+1 Man.....

Nice to be here...

 

these with kedge grip $598 delivered 285/75/16

 

wow great deal. They should shake out well in the dirt. I read good things about them.

 

yea and i got them with kedge grip....
today was a monsoon out and they handled much better then my other m/t
but they are much hevier n stiffer than my 2 plys were

 

oh and they shipped super fast......7 days to my door from time i placed order.......

 

Hah! Your tires are made from walnut shells.

 

and glass
and i thionk it works well
it a lil early but i did not slip once today and it was bad out....
going to wheel the piss outa them on sunday at big rubbers and some wheelin in bc. meet.....plus the road trip
so after that ill give a review

 

yea but isnt that because they changed the system on how they rate the load ranges???
todays sidewalls are 2 ply with an 8 ply rating
idk
i can tell you this they are a lot heavier than my last m/t's

 

Thats pretty sweet, I might check that place out. Do you surf with the Hendrickson's

Yea let me know how much you end up paying for welding, I'm gonna have to get those too..

Painting outside SUCKS!!! I hate it but I have no where else to do it.

Thanks Troy!! I look forward to seeing how you wire them up.

Duratracs FTW!!

I just got my wheels re-balanced today.. damn sears guy put the pound on weights on the outside of my obviously spray painted rims.. and didnt even balance them right.. idiot.

So my friend at the toyota dealership re balanced them on the inside, and put my spare tire on my new matching spare wheel.

Now I just need to get more wheel paint and a sunny day to sand them all down and spray them again

 

can use my garage...plenty of space

 

anyone ever needs an indoor place to paint, my 2 car garage is always open

 

Finally got my devil horns today from Andre. Pics to follow tomorrow. Couldn't believe how easy they were to install. Took all of ten minutes.

 

10 minutes!? what did you do, stop and chug a couple beers half way through??



I forgot that Andre's have screws that hold them in, mine (metal miller) uses 2 wing nuts so it's even easier.

What color did you go with?

Well I finally got the shipping notification for my Demello sliders. I ordered them April 15th and they said 2-4 weeks, so I should've had them in time for the BC meet this weekend. UPS says I wont have them till the 24th. wtf!
Dont have any idea when my Elite bumper will be here, but Tim shipped it monday.
And I just ordered a full set of ATO skids, hopefully picking them up 2nd weekend in June.

Feels good to start making real progress..

 

You got the gussets from total chaos right? any idea what it costs to get them welded? I'm putting together a list of things I need to get welded. I want to get another set of spindles and have spindle gussets welded on, LCA cam gussets, and for the ATO gas tank skid I need studs welded to the gas tank straps


I'll be seeing boyd's skids this weekend, and Joe's bud built's, but I opted for ATO because of the 1/4" front skid and I wanted to give Kevin my money

 

LOL. No but in the middle of it, Jen called me to say she was at the bus stop and ready to be picked up. Told her I was leaving right then. When I did finally get to her, she didn't look happy. When I asked her how my devil horns look, she got a little angry.lol Apparently she didn't think the devil horns were worth her hanging around the bus stop for a few extra minutes. Women!

I ended up getting the polished ones too. I was torn. Almost got the horns on fire one but still undecided if I'm going to black everything out (wheels and badges). Figured in the meantime I'd stick with polished. I woulda thought you'd get yours by now. Mine shipped out on the 12th also if I'm not mistaken.

 

Damn I gotta get caught up to you a little bit. I was running pretty neck and neck for a while but now I'm falling behind. Planning on requesting a lot of truck stuff for my 30th in September though. Just gotta figure out a list of priorities. Thinking a lift and bigger tires (probably MT's too) at this point.
