New from SC

New to the Forum, currently in Tucson, AZ headed to Denver in a couple of weeks. I'm on my 2nd Tundra. Both have been 07 limited CCs. My first one came with a 4.5" DB lift and blocks that I hated and id intended to tow a TT around the country so decided rather than going back stock id just sell and start from scratch with my own build instead finishing someone elses. I come from an 01 Tacoma (Pic Below) which is now my trail rig back home..

I do mobile fabrication, metal, wood, epoxy, fiberglass etc. from the truck
The tundra is pretty mild. King 2.5's around, TRD rear swaybar, rock sliders, bedrack (tent is on order), decked, (leaf springs coming soon to handle excess weight and towing the RV every couple months), Window tint, satoshi grille and few odd and end items inside and out. Its about time for a front bumper soon!












The beater. Sorry, no images of it on this computer of it in the rocks but I assure you its seen a few.


This is my first tundra, the last pic I took of it just before I sold it.. I had to replace the steering rack in it and I didn't feel like having to deal with that living on the road.


Anyway sorry for the long post, glad to be here and learn more about these trucks! Recently won an ARB compressor in a raffle so I will be mounting that somewhere and getting some OEM style switches to run everything.

Welcome to the party!!

 

Haha Thanks, no that is right off I10 in AZ. been here for a couple months now, ready to get out.. these fuzzy pups aren't enjoying the mid day heat AZ has to offer but they'll hate the humidity back home even more

Unfortunately I lost a lot of my pics of these cars on my previous phone.. this was on old morgue in Auburn, WA that was used to store around 200 cars and while we were there the owner actually opened up a museum for all of them.. the ones in the pics are the beaters or final projects they don't plan to finish anytime soon. the museum is in Enumclaw,, WA if you ever are around and want to check it out. We used the morgue as work space to do a SAS on a Tacoma and that's where I built my rack and sliders.

We are heading to Colorado in a few weeks, have been looking at properties around Aurora.. would love to find a little land to park our RV on for the time were there

Welcome from South Texas.

 

Welcome from NC.
What year Mustang is that in the background? 71, 72, 73?

 

Funny. That’s where I used to going ride my ATv. Now there’s a subdivision and hotel there.

 

Howdy from DFW and nice trucks

 

Welcome!!

 

The red one? its a 67'

 

Oh really? they finally built down into the area where the trails are? I knew there was a condominium up above carver but from my understanding they couldn't do anything down below with the creek running through. Its definitely an awesome spot to ride around and get a little mix of everything for everyone. its a shame its been trashed and destroyed over the years. It would have been cool if the owner just gated it and offered day passes for 5 bucks or something semi cheap and let a crew that maintains it ride for free! I loved going there to test new things. Almost rolled my truck twice there, Fun times

 

Yea. There is a hotel there now. Near blackstock rd.
