North and South Carolina thread

Rockingham?? Thanks kind of close maybe an hour and a half from where im at... maybe im just guessing though haha

 

who is in the Raleigh Area doing mods to their Tacomas.

I am looking for some people working on their trucks on the weekends. Keep me from going stir crazy in the city.

 

im in raleigh. not really modding my truck much. im in college, only work in the summer and weekends and got a payement and other bills . where about in raleigh are you?

 

Live in North Raleigh by Lynn Road. Also around State a good bit.

 

Welcome. I have friends that live in youngsville

 

very cool. i go to State, live in the Lake Wheeler area. . . wish i could do some modding with you haha. today i decided i think im gonna just start piecing together what i want. slowly start buying shocks, coils, maybe uca's, a leaf pack and some other costly things i want. just have them sitting around until i have all i want and can put them all on at once. just can't afford it all right now

 

I use to live there for four years. I just graduated and am doing my masters now and working.

Well i do modding as I get spare money which is never. Most recent was new tires. and 6 months before that was used 4.56s, I installed myself. Takes time and lots of research. I say modding as doing minor things for now until money permits.

Are you set up to go to Uwharrie or know anyone that ever goes down there. I am intersted in going in November

 

i've trolled this a time or two.

still don't know if i'll be able to swing it though.

 

Why Couldnt you swing it. I might try to see if I can. I jsut dont know anyone at all on here. My boss's son might go with me in his jeep. I have never met him but he is in raleigh and likes to wheel. Personally I have never been to URE wheeling or anywhere for that matter except on my farm back home.

But I have always wanted to and now that my truck is legit to go minus armor I am getting ready for my first adventure.

Thanks for the link.

 

i work for my family business. sometimes stuff comes up and i have to work unexpectedly . i always work weekends, but i probably could take off and make it work. still deciding/figuring out details. and i, like you don't know anybody here either. but hey!, theyre nice on the internet, must be in person! lol. plus my truck is a girly stocker. i'd be willing to go out there, but would have to ride with someone on the real trails more than likely.

edit: and yes i know it's surprising i don't know anybody on here yet have 3,000 posts and a nearly stock truck. i have recently become de-girlfriended and have a lot of time on my hands haha. like you said, it's easy to go stir crazy in raleigh.

 

Well what type tires do you have. And it is 4x4 right. I mean i m sure you have a locker in the back f you ahve an 07. I dont think Uwharrie is a hard course by any means. I dont forsee you having a problem but you never know. I doubt anybody will pressure you into doing something you done wanna. I know I sure wont be doing something with my P/U i m not comfortable with.

Be cool to go though for sure.

 

yeah it's 4x4 with the locking rear diff. tires are need-to-be-replaced bf g radial trail somethings, 265/70/16. as seen in the picture below. nothing special. . . . i mean im not trying to bitch out or anything, i just don't know what's going to be going on that far down the road you know.

 

yea I completely understand. School and working is tough. Looks good though. What program are you in at state. I dunno if I have ever seen it or not. So many ppl around here.

 

Ag Business Management my man. you doing your grad schooling here too? what major?

 

did Bio and Ag Engr undergrad and Civil grad for now. Did a lot with the Ag program when I was there. Real good people there.

 

very cool man. and yeah, a lot of those ARE profs are really good guys and great teachers. . . and keep an eye out and you'll see me. i drive to campus everyday, so im up and down pullen and hillsborough streets all the time.

 

Here is my truck.
