Tacos in St. Louis area

If you are, then we all are.

 

Well this will be my second bumper actually. First time around got rear ended with about 5000 mi on the truck. Went with a color matched bumper vs chrome that time. Should have just done the steel plate the first time and been done with it.

I'll definitely post pics and what not once I get it on. Should arrive at fastenal this week sometime. Then off to get it line-x'd.

 

Anyone know of a decent powdercoat place around STL, not sure if I'll have my bumper in time before I move from up here

Also may need a extra hand when it comes to mounting the bumper if anyone is willing to help, beer provided of course

 

Gateway Powder-Coating is where I get all of my stuff powdered. Great guys to work with.

One of the guys up there, Matt, is a real good dude and Army guy as well

 

Perfect, not far from Alton either

 

Dude I live in Alton. There's a powdercoater on Pearl St. In Godfrey. I know a few people that have used him.

 

Looks like I found someone to help hah, yeah picked up a place on state st. I'll have to look into the place on pearl. Should be heading down this weekend to move more shit

 

Been living on the east side of the river for a few years. Currently in the process of buying a house in South County.

 

Haha. I'm pretty sure my number one hatred in life is moving.

 

So I am in KC now but work my have me moving to St. Louis any good recommendations for places to live that have affordable rent?

 

Do you know whereabouts you'd be working? In the city or county?

 

Well are yard is at Union st and I70 so that's pretty much downtown. I don't mind living in the city but maybe some place just outside of the city would be nice

 

Yea I wouldn't advise living close to work. The north side of town is not in the greatest shape at the moment. I've had a lot of friends live in Brentwood Forest condos, which is in a great centrally located area. Popular areas are Brentwood, Maplewood, University City, Central West End. Anywhere with easy access to 170, 270 and 70 would be the best options in regards to commute. The joke in St. Louis is everything's 15 minutes away as long as you can get to one of the main highways

 

Thanks, yeah I will probably be out there in a few weekends looking for a place if they need me to transfer out there. I already moved from Orlando to KC for them..... As long as they pay for it again I don't care.

Do you guys meet up often? We meet almost every Tuesday night here in KC.

 

You could always live in IL and commute. That's what I do.

 

I have friends that live in Belleville so I was thinking of checking there. How are they on taxes for cars? Is it like MO or is it different?

 

Check with your friends.we pay personal property tax in MO at the end of the year, but our gas prices are cheaper than IL. My neighbor has been living here in South County MO for the last several years and still registered his truck in IL. I suspect that either taxes are low or non-existent in IL. IL folks can chime in..

 

Interested if there are any other Pros in the greater STL area? I. Seen that one other one was on Cars.com in west county, and was inferno. Seen an inferno on coming back from Kansas Raceway last Sunday going westbound. That is the only one I have seen in the area so far.. Anyone else out there?

 

I saw one parked at cabelas one day that's all I've seen.

 

IL there are no taxes on your vehicles but the yearly registration fee is $110 I believe. IL will hit you on property taxes and income tax.
