VolcomTacoma's Mod day #2 11/21/15 & Hollister Camping After!

Hey guys, so I've had a couple bodies tell me I should do another mod day at my place. I think the last one went pretty well, we had a good 15 people stop by throughout the day and a couple trucks got some mods done to them! All in all I'd call it a success!

Well, I have wifely permission to host another one! So the dates I'm looking at are in November, and I'm gonna put it to a vote just to see who wants what. I would greatly prefer a Saturday, but if enough people want it on a Sunday, we can do that too.

So any suspension work you need can be done, short of major fabrication stuff, but I can only fit one truck at a time in the garage, so its a first come first serve basis, if you show up and someone is already getting stuff installed, you'd better call dibs on the next slot, or when it comes time for the next truck to come in, whoever swoops in gets to get work done hehe.

I can do minor electrical stuff as well and any odd jobs or mods that you want done, I've probably done them or know how, or we can call upon good 'ole TacomaWorld to assist.

I MIGHT have a welder by then, but no promises. If someone want's to bring one and do some slider installs or cab mount chops or whatever installs, feel free (hint hint I need both muhahah)

Let me know guys!

Ok so I got word from a buddy down in SoCal who is coming up the weekens of the 21st to go offroading and camping in Hollister. So the tentaitve plan is to do mod day at my place, and then caravan down to Hollister and have some fun offroading and camping! If you guys are interested, let me know!

So it looks like most of the people want the 21st, so Im gonna lock that in as mod day!

 

No mods needed, but I'll bring my smoker and provide moral support and adult supervision.

 

Sounds good! I have my Coleman in the back that we can wheel around to the front and get some food a grillin'!

 

21st-22nd!! I have to work the 14-15th...

 

You know there's a vote there for a reason lol

 

If you can't make it to some dates, pick the others lol

 

I picked you pick bc I can do either 21 or 22nd. But if you want a Saturday, I'll change my vote to the 21st

 

I prefer a Saturday, just in case i have a couple to many, I can sleep in the next day

 

Might be in. My birthday is on the 23rd so I might be back in LA that weekend

 

Ok, first post, and I'll try to attend what ever day you all set up, I have a lot of questions on my current setup and need to make some changes, would be interesting in see all the different builds at one time.

My current issue is that the 5100 lift has sagged with the addition of a plate bumper and winch. want some lift without a supper stiff road ride.

 

Go get you some OME 885 or 886 coils. BAM solved.

 

How would these mate up on 5100's, would like the full 2 1/2 without the stiff preload. Lost a full inch with bumper/winch and bottom skid

 

Hmmmm 4 cylinder but winch and bumper, unsure. Probably go with 886. My prerunner with no front weight got almost 3" with 885s.

 

Allpro bolted plate, AP bottom skid, Warn M8000-S, also rock sliders. On the back 5100 w/ AP AAL, have a cap and run with additional 200-400# of gear at all times, while still hauling a trailer out on the highway at about 1400#. Last two years trip blogs www.rocketflyfishing.com

 

Also have UCAs already installed

 

I'd say 886's

 

I'll show up with either 885's or 886's and see if this can get done

 

Eh, I do not have a spring compressor, by the way. Until I can afford a good wall mounted one, I don't wanna mess around with the handheld ones, to jenky for me.

 

I picked the 21st. Hope have my pods lights by then. Then to rewire two sets.
