Redeemed: rngr's Trail Taco w/side of T4R

What the fuck dude? fire your spotter.... he sucks.

 

Yes. My spotter is an idiot. He sucks. I hate him. It's all his fault.





I was alone.

 

Wired up my interior and 3rd brake lights today. Used a trailer wiring connector for an easy disconnect if I need to remove the shell.

 

No, DRIVER!

 

I know. what's with this dude and driving into trees?

 

You would have been impressed with my recovery. Other than the mirror, not one single scratch.

 

Yakima rack. The bars are long enough to take out 2 mailboxes on opposite sides of the road simultaneously. Going to cut them down to about the width of the bed.

 

I installed the rack this evening. I decided not to cut the bars. They didn't look as terrible as I expected on the truck. I'll just pull them off if I need to be skinny.





With that, the re-debatable re-debacle is now pretty much functional for my day to day needs. Good tires, dry storage, and a rack for whatever won't fit inside the shell.

Now, to make her trail worthy...

 

Looks great!

 

Thank you.

I meant to ask you earlier today, do you have any idea about the status of Stubbs Welding? I pretty much made up my mind to go with their sliders. However, I've called them three times in two weeks. No answer. Left voice mails. No call back. I know it's probably been a long while since you dealt with them, but was that similar to your experience?

 

Subbed! Its looking great in here!

 

Welcome.

It's been 7 years since I did business with them. And Richard, was responding within a day. Obviously that's not a good sign, and frustrating, did you try their email:. stubbswelding@gmail.com. ?

 

Thank you. Your build was most helpful when I was trying school myself up on 1st gen suspension. As for the rest of your build...

Not yet, but that's my next step. Thanks for the email address. I like the instant gratification and personal connection phone calls provide.

 

Thanks! I'm glad I could help!

I received a call back from Richard Stubbs earlier. They had been on vacation, and getting caught up afterwards. He seems like a wonderful guy. We ended up spending the better part of 30 minutes on the phone discussing trucks, sliders, and so on. He was extremely helpful, but not pushy at all. I was leaning toward his sliders before, now I am fully confident that's what I want.

One thing that blew my mind was that shipping from CA to TN via UPS is only $68. No other vendor (that I have found) will ship sliders for less than $100. Plus, unlike the fully welded Stubbs sliders, the legs/scab plates for most others ship unwelded in order to "cut down on shipping costs" I piad $100 to have my last set shipped from SC to TN. I just wonder if other vendors aren't upselling their shipping charges and pocketing the difference.???

Anyway, Stubbs HD-SKO sliders it is for me when the time comes. Maybe Santa will skip the sleigh and drive a big brown truck this year.

Oh, and a roughly 5 business day lead time doesn't hurt either. Ha ha.
