Time to torch the IFS off!

...just saying.

 

Chop chop!

 

I see his truck twice a day, lol. I take a walk around Intel at lunch and at 3pm. I talked a little smack here on the boards not realizing he was a lurker, I think he got pissed and left.

 

Yeap...Total Chaos LT here I come! I first need the $$ first..

I remember that day. You were talking smack about his bumper, no? Or because he had nerf bars or something lol

EDIT When I LT my truck and get fiberglass fenders/bedsides I think I will repaint my truck olive drab green..see if they can line x it that color but leave my grille and door handles black. YYYEEAAAHHH!!!

 

He had a spendy plate bumper, but had nerf bars on so I thought he was going to be all show and no go and didn't know there was a back story. I guess he does go out hunting or something with it. It does look really sharp whenever I pass it, though; he did a good job on the overall look.

Get the olive color they do up the FJC with. I've never seen it on a taco, I think that would be pretty damn nice

 

I'll show you my spanner wrench

 

Yea, I'm in the same boat except going with Camburg.

 

After bending the crap out of the bottom brackets on the bumper, heading to Homedepot three times for different washers, epoxy etc I finally got it on. Not so happy about the overall fit of the Allpro bumper to be honest. I had to do A LOT of bending and bashing to get it to all fit right. The cuts in the brackets were off a little and the steal wasn't bent evenly on each plate. Some angels were over 10 degrees off from the other side which should be asymmetrical. Also I had to add washers to some bolts on the crash bar to get it to sit level and i'm a little worried about it being weak there now. I suppose we will see what happens next time I pull something. Anyways here is the final product.

 

Looks really good Jason. Sucks about the fitment.

 

$800 for a rebuilt 3.4? http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/2513841826.html

 

Wow man that's strange, did you talk to AP (hit up Jason or Sarah) and find out what the problem with it is? I had no issues at all with my first gen, everything fit like a glove

 

Oh hey for anyone looking, I saw a red 1st gen on hwy 47 just a bit south of Forest Grove that was for sale. Didn't get a chance to stop and get details

 

No... I bought it off Craigslist from someone who "didn't want it" but it was unpainted and new in box. I doubt they would give me service on it. Its not that there is a problem, its just not cut or bent right. A little more fun with a dead blow hammer and some tweaking in the morning should get it all perfect. I do wish I didn't have to leave one of my head light brackets off like that though. Hopefully it won't be a problem.

 

Mmmm the headlight bracket? Shouldn't be a problem at all? Also it looks like you have it sitting way to high man, need to space it down with some washers at minimum like 1/8" ... 1/4" is better. I still slightly rub at full flex (aka tires in the air)

 

Yeah there is seven washers on the left side and four on the right. Almost too far for the bottom bolt to get into the nut. There is about 1/4 on each side maybe more though.

 

There is one screw that you have to take out of your head light. You don't replace it because you have to remove the bracket that it sits on. I don't like that it just sits free now.

 

DONT GET ARRESTED IN JUNCTION CITY OREGON!!!!! I WENT TO ENLIST IN THE NAVY YESTERDAY AND CANT CAUSE THAT COURT FUCKED UP MY PAPERWORK FROM 2009! NOW I HAVE TO GET A LAWYER AND FIGHT IT!

 

I don't need a spanner wrench. I meant to say a "cheater bar"..something to put on my spanner wrench, like an extension, so I can crank my coils up easier

You forgot to say no homo..

You know I haven't really looked into Camburg..I know I've seen some on 2nd gens on here and they seem too wide.

Nice! You mention you bought it cheap from another dude..maybe he tweaked it a bit that's why he sold it for so cheap?

Now that I see a more clear picture of your truck..we have the same style/trim going on. Imagine if I got an AP bumper as well and a mustache bug deflector Yours look like it has more clearance than mine..I wanna crank up my front to the point where I have a crazy lean! YEEAHAAAHHH I'll be definitely turning heads

 

Hear that Rob? Screw you and your Junction City!

You already took your asvab and all that junk?

 

just move up to the portland area are there any good 4x4 shops you guys would recommend?
