Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice with dirty innuendos

Ahh

 

I stopped by the last time @Shellshock had a tuning day in Janesville, just to visit and check out his ginomous RTT. Good times!

 

Yes sir! The rest of it came today.


Now, for some decent weather...

 

Lol he did my first ever Tune, but Garrick handles the STL crowd now. Used to be on here, back in the day...

 

Sweet! what do they get for that? I have a welder, and some rusty skills...

 

$599 to my door. You'll be surprised how fast it will come back to you!

 

With bronze wheels, the tan would look good.

 

I had 2 1/2' drifts in front of my garage door and on my front porch. Halfway down the driveway, about 1/2"...we had a lot of wind. Supposed to get to near zero tonight and rain by Monday morning. Go figure.

 

One word: catheter.

 

Go an linky????

 

And bronze the new sliders too? Lol

They aren't on their website. I had PM'd Jerry about the kit and was told that everything was on hold at that time because the first couple of kits that went out were all but destroyed by UPS. Well, I contacted him again at the first of the year to see if they got the shipping issue sorted out and here we are...

Pieces are notched so they get welded in the correct place. Should be real easy to assemble.

 

Sweet!

 

Me likey. It's boring here (after yesterday's almost tornadoes)

Ain't nothing wrong with tan sliders.....

 

Fun little update on the tires. I googled the part number in the Walmart listing while researching yesterday and got a handful of listings that all said sold out. I wanted to see the specs so I went to general tire's website. I couldn't find the part number in their spec lists. I emailed their customer service asking them why the part number wasn't in there and they responded with: "Thank you for your interest in General Tire. However, the part number 4506140000 does not exist in our records. It may either be an outdated part number or was typed incorrectly. We do offer two other part numbers in your size." I find it quite strange they wouldn't maintain a list of old and or cancelled part numbers because it obviously was a valid part number at one point.

TLDR: there's a good chance I ordered old tires lol.

 

Had a student who needed a project-saw something like this online somewhere, so had him work some rough dimensions and weld it up. Looks nice. Tad big, but should work once we get the adjusters threaded and working properly. Might take this to MOAB for some additional table space...

 

Looks great! I've seen these too and considered getting one, but they're a bit pricey.

That's the kids table

 

You can always put in a request to the WHS Tech Ed and see what springs forth... I think there is enough material laying around for a couple more of these. Kids generally work for pizza... 20$ worth of Little Caesars and your in. Another 20$ in materials...

 

Well, I'd be happy to give them some project work and pizza! I'll PM you and see how we can set this up.
