TheNatural's 2012 Totally Expo Trail Limo Build

We can rebuild it. Bigger, more powerful, and with new mud flaps.

 

Did you find the 'Merica sticker yet?

 

Hahaha. No. I'll have a look in the morning.

 

you try out the locker yet?

 

Haven't wired the compressor or run the air line yet. Probably try to tackle that this coming weekend. The gears sure were nice on the mountain highways though.

 

It's been a while since my last update and I have lots of news! I scrambled to get the bed rack painted before my trip to Moab, where I picked up the RTT and wheeled for a few days. I added some 1.5" blocks in the rear to prevent bro lean with the extra weight in the back. I need to get some new leafs for a more permanent fix. Also got the CB wired.

While in Moab, Phil rolled his beautiful truck. It was a really sad day, but I bought his third complete with air locker and gears before the truck got hauled to the wreckers. I have 4.56 gears front and rear, a rear ARB, and an ARB compressor now. I also grabbed a Panvise mount from his wreckage and I'm loving it as the new location for my mob armor mount.

While in 'merica I picked up the BAMF Sliders and LCA skids I ordered way back in the black Friday sale. The guys at insain fab squeezed me in to get the sliders welded on - thanks guys.

Then I got home and washed, polished, and waxed my travel companion. I peeled off the stock TRD bedside decals and stuck on some that I had made by a member here like a year ago.

Here's how it sits now!





And here are a couple of the highlights from Moab

 

Thanks to Bob for bringing it to my attention: the TRD supercharger is being discontinued!! I called my dealership and confirmed that there are still some available if I act fast. Trouble is, I just got back from an expensive trip to Moab and as we speak a sizable and expensive looking hole is being dug in my front yard to replace my sewer service. I want but don't know if I can has....

 

is the hole or sewer service discontinued?

no... BOOM 'MERICA! There's your answer!

 

My current service sure is. Fortunately they have developed newer, better sewer services over the last few decades.

I showered at my gf's apartment last night and I've been going to Tim Hortons to poop. This is clearly not sustainable. Although... I could get to Tim Hortons faster with a supercharger...

 

Now you're getting it!

LOL did you break in the RTT?

 

Man.. I haven't had time for anything fun since I got back. I'm swamped, playing catch up at work. Plus the whole not having a sewer thing is making my life quite uncomfortable.

 

I hear ya... sorry about that shit (pun intended)... guess it's good it's not winter (or is it)

oh and can't remember if I told ya, I'll be picking up the T-nuts Saturday and sending those and the URD stuff your way this weekend

 

I guess it's good it's not winter... that would make digging a big hole a lot harder. Thanks for forwarding that stuff to me! Let me know what shipping costs and I'll fire you a paypal reimbursement. Just don't send it UPS

 

LOL actually I was going to... good thing you stopped me... seriously I have a couple things that have to go back to Amazon via UPS... any preference on who/how I send it? (I'm going to probably put everything in the URD box and send it)

 

As long as it's not UPS, whatever is easiest for you. FedEx, USPS, whatever other crazy things you Americans have. Just tape that box up good so the little shit doesn't escape. I never have any damn hardware left by the time things get to me.

 

oh I will... just gotta find some American Duct tape ;-)

 

GUYS! GUYS! GUYS! I did it!

I ordered a supercharger today. I called my dealership last week to inquire after I heard that the supercharger was being discontinued.. turns out I acted just in time. Dealership took a little bit to track one down and I'm told I got the 3rd last one in Canada.

I also ordered another pair of LED headlight bulbs. My current ones have gone to shit - the high beam on the passenger side cuts in and out. The new ones look like a much better design.

 

we're a bad influence

 

First... AWESOME...

second... should have done the retrofit...
