UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

She is off to a new home. I will miss this rig.

New owner is local to SLC and has been looking into getting Long Travel for his current Tacoma. He instead bought my already done rig.

 

How much did you end up getting for it?

 

$22.5K. Plus many extras including a custom RTT rack, soft-topper, new OEM Pads and Rotors. The truck is used but not abused.

 

Id call that a bargain

 

I listed it for $25k OBO. It was a full long travel truck (front and rear) was regeared and had a bunch of other stuff. plus it was a TRD off-road 6spd manual.I wasnt trying to get $30k for it. I thought for the condition the 22k was a fair price.

 

Alright, who was it?

In all seriousness, I hope you are OK.

Unfortunately this area by Deer Creek in Provo Canyon has been especially bad this year for freezing. Blind corner and a huge drop in temps have cause a number of accidents in this particular spot.

 

Ye, I remember you listing it.

 

I am glad the person who bought it appreciates it for what it is. He texted me last night and said that his new truck is amazing. Total night and day difference from his mid travel second gen.

 

If you want sketchy, then you came to the right place.

Welcome to the land of Zion. What brought you to the promised land? Work or pleasure.

 

The road to the Dollhouse was pretty easy when I drove it 25 years ago in my stock 1998 Tacoma TRD. There was only one place, about a mile from Teapot campground, that I had to use my locking diff to make it through on the way to the Dollhouse. Dunno how the road is nowadays, but I suspect it is only easier due to the many, many folks that travel it nowadays.

 

Thanks for the welcome. Both? ie. I picked a state with all the natural stuff I like (mountains and rocks), then found a job.

 

Hey guys I’ll be putting up a pair of SPC uppers with brand new ball joints on here and KSL once I get them back from SPC. Just an fyi if anybody is looking. They’re for 3rd gens.

 

Anyone want a 23 zero RTT? It's the Bundaberg model and I think it's now called the walkabout? It is basically a queen size bed when it is unfolded.
Perfect for two people and two medium sized dogs + gear.

Spent the day getting some rear flares hacked up and put on yesterday. Missed the run everyone took, but truck still needs some work.

 

What kind of flares did you get? I've ordered a couple of different brands and when I get them they never seem to be workable without major modification... so I've sent them back.

 

Oh that’s tempting, if I wasn’t saving up for other questionable purchases…

 

They are the bushwhacker flares if I remember correctly. I had to cut them where they stop flaring out and go down. Then I lined up the first bolt with factory hole. Drilled all the rest. Bored them out a little bit and used a bunch of grade 8 bolts to actually bolt them in.

 

Managed to destroy one of my Race Relations Wheels in Capitol Reef NP this past weekend!

 

That's why I don't buy aftermarket rims.

Well, that and a bad experience with tirerack.

 

How’d ya manage to do that?
