Woooow GB for mob town sliders to Hawaii. Interesting

 

How long is the handle on that 60? Wanna trade for my new 48? Does it have any surface rust on it?

 

PakShak is the place to go.

 

yup pakshak lol..i think ranny the owner drives a double cab prerunner mgm too

 

Does anyone have the front rail section of their bed that they are willing to sell or give away? The 3rd gen didn't come with the front (under the rear sliding glass) section but it's the exact same part as the 2nd gen.

I want to attach a rocky mount bike carrier to it.

 

If you cant find one home depot sells this channels by the electrical conduits .Used bolt with trimmed down washers. Wont match other rails but another option.

 

Lowes stocks it. Unistrut, you can also get the channel nuts for it in 1/4-20 and 3/8-16.

 

Who's watching those waves... @cubiclesurfer ?? We a go for tomorrow??

Who has the knowledge of reading the buoys and knowing if the Eddie is a go?

 

Howzit guys. Newbie here - moved back to Oahu a few years ago and just bought my first Taco. Still waiting for delivery from Servco though.
Was wondering where you all go for new tires and lifts? I was gonna grab some wheels online then look for a place to install em and get 275/70/17s and maybe a 2" - 3" lift as well. Would appreciate any suggestions!

 

oh it's gonna be on. whether or not it's surfable is another thing. right now, the buoys popped around 26' @ 19secs at 6:50pm (roughly 30'-35'+ hawaiian on the shore). that's just the beginning of the swell, and it's roughly 8-10 hours out of Oahu. the swell is pretty much gonna peak at daybreak and it's gonna be giant. everyone I've talked to says Waimea will be washed out in the early am, but hopefully the swell organizes a little for it to hold the contest around mid-morning/lunch. if you're planning going, watch for road closures... this one supposed to be bigger than Monday (peaked at 27' @ 16secs), and that swell completely shut down kam highway.

when the live broadcast comes on and I find it, I'll post it so you guys can check it out if you're interested.

 

Can check surfline to see if there's a live broadcast.

 

I'll be looking for a site I can view mobile!

 

Well, this wasn't too fun to do by myself. All for extra peace of mind.

 

Looks like it took you 5 minutes to drop the tank.

 

Welcome to TW....as far as where most of us go, I would say www.whoeverhasthebestpriceontheliftyouwant.com and install yourself or ask for help, as for tires check the Hawaii forum there might be a goodyear hookup thread. All I can suggest is you do your research on the lift so you get what you want from the get go, and congrats on the new Taco....so are you getting a Pre, or 4x4

 

If you guys have Oceanic the Eddie broadcast will start at 0730 on channel 250 or HD 1250

Over on the right under "other sellers...", the top one is Amazon.com and prime (free) shipping applies. This was the one I bought. During checkout it says usually ships in 1-2 months but mine shipped in about a week. Don't know if this is the norm or I got lucky....

 

Any idea for Direct TV or mobile? Stupid work doesn't have Oceanic.
