    You can't come on that trail until you have sliders man..sorry :oops: But everything else you can do easily. It is awesome up there.

    What is it on CL? that is a killer deal.

    way way to big a turbo for me. But could sell that easy.


    Yes actually :luvya:

    Does that make me legit now???..

    :brianr:

    Thanks man!

    Deal! I'll pick it up, deliver and wheel some of these amazing spots you've been posting up with ya! :thumbsup:

    Btw, your truck was the first build I saw even before I got my Tacoma a little over a year ago and I absolutely drooled over it! Definitely the truck that made my decision to get a Tacoma as opposed to something else! :thumbsup: <3 lol

    If that had a manual transmission id be tempted to get it for the drivetrain, rebuild engine and trans before I dropped them in my truck, be cheaper than just SC'ing my truck.

    I talked to him about the supercharger and he said it has 225k so needing a rebuild but was flexible on the price. Might be worth it although pick up only.

    Another question on your leaf pack. How do you get the lift u want in the rear? It looks like the springs will only give you about 2 inches from Wheelers website. Also if you put a custom pack together where do u get the hardware to hold it together?

    TIA

    I added a skyjacker leaf I got from a buddy to the leafs. Been great ever since. Plus the wheelers AAL in it and 1" lift shackles.

    I got new center pins and u bolts local at just the parts store.

    So this is tracking you via a GPS in your radio? Does it map your route or just show your current location?

    @woodnick Monte implied we could track him with KG7LSU but I'm not seeing that. That track shows him still in Powell. However, I am seeing a fresh track from today for your call sign, WY7FRV which is moving thru Yellowstone right now.

    Any idea what is happening here? Is he using your radio and the radio is sending out some sort of automatic info?

    Edit: NVM, I figured it out. Found him on i90 heading west.

    Don't be sorry man! What this place is for.

    I don't really have any specs...I just kinda made it ha..:oops: I used a drill to cut out most of the hole then a hand file to make Tue holes square. Takes a while. But does the trick.


    You getmy motor :p
