Welcome to the Official SoCal BS/ Shenanigans, Tundras and What’s Happening Thread

I see a reverse Nike swoosh!

 

Can he get better with Icon if he swaps UCA's?

 

It’s just those tubular UCAs. That’s the reason they’re off my truck. The icon billets are good, just very pricey.

 

@JasonJK, have you got any more ?!!

 

Maybe can recruit Jason for a getaway-- uhh, I mean Uber driver to the bank!

 

It's that new bone tattoo, all the kids are doing it.

It is my shoulder, I've had tests and scans lately for another potential surgery. That Nike swoosh is a needle injecting dye into the joint for diagnosis

 

Is that test more painful than "getting a shot"?

 

Can't see the bone from the outside Jake!! Just get you some bionic limbs!!

 

I get cortisone shots in both shoulders every 4 months...doc sprays cold numbing spray before he goes in..helps, but mostly just pressure going in joint...

 

Nooo... that needle looks like its bending... ewwww

 

This one specifically wasn't too bad, it was a contrast injection for another MRI. The drainage sessions hurt the most, no numbing or sympathy, not even a back rub!
I have hyaluronic acid injections coming up, platelet therapy, then surgery most likely

 

well... crap. Take it easy bud!

 

On a different note... I have to get my sliders, and RCI stuff installed... hopefully i'll knock it out this weekend.

 

Thanks Nick. Life's way of making me slow down a bit, ahaha. I've been under the weather a missed a lot here, what kind of sliders did you go with, and what RCI stuff? Congrats man! No more bent tube steps, ahahah

 

Pick up my WKOR Sliders Saturday.. Damn they are beefy.. and RCI Skids for the truck. Gotta paint up the Skids and then i'm ready to mount. The wife is smart, asking me to finish some other projects before i put the parts on the truck, so i've been trying to finish things around the house lol.

 

Nice man, congrats! Some great protection options there for sure. Make your wife a deal; You tackle the honey-do list and she helps you install those beefy sliders.

 

U going to rattle can the skids? Or take them to powder coat??

 

Jake's fallin apart...he needs his bionics installed!

 

I vote rattle can. Grateful I didn't spend the money to powdercoat. First time he slides over rocks, that powder coat'll be done for.

 

^This. Don't waste your money on powdercoat. Unless you never actually plan on using them.

 

No Powder Coating, Rattle Can with some of the truck bed like stuff. Figure that will help with Grip on top, for Families sake. My brother just installed some powder coated slides on his jeep, and took half of it off on his first trip. Also... I play the numbers game.. and it was sooooooo much cheaper getting them bare metal.

Thanks @Porschetech29

 

That is what I did... Bought them bare and painted them w/ primer and then spray liner. If I had it to do over again, I'd do a coat of Enamel spray paint first, and then the bed liner stuff. The underside is coming off in a ton of places just from stuff the tires throw up.

 

Why enamel first?

 

Definitely some good advice!

 

Ahaha not for those billet ones lol!
Im cool with if they can make my steering wheel straight, and not some crazy tire wear. I have been looking at the WKOR sliders recently and will probably place an order soon.

 

I hear you. And love that you're marking off that equipment list!

Keep is posted about whether you get good alignment with those UCA's you have. Maybe dial that in before you move on to other expenditures. Not sure if too many people on here have worked it out.

 

Hey, I don't mean to be discouraging; I just don't know what will work. Maybe you could hit up @KevinK. He's a very knowledgeable guy and runs Icons.

 

I know you arent! You are super helpful! 1300 is a lot and i have some other stuff that i gotta get for the truck.

 

I will. And yeah i hope i can work it out with these UCAs. ICON seems like a good company and have been super helpful over the phone.
