Colorado BS Thread

That's a lot of screen time for the kids.

 

Last day of remote learning before Thanksgiving break in the drive thru burger line.

 

does anyone have a recommendation for someone that can do cork flooring in denver? specifically, i need them to be able have a flush stair nose in cork. everyone i talk to looks like i'm insane for even asking for a flush stair nose.

 

For locals Mike is a great dude in Castle Rock and has tons of great gear local! He’s running $500 off BFE Clamshell RTT’s and 20% of Roam boxes. (It also includes free shipping)

Guess I bought my BFE tent from Mike a week too early. Doh!

 

Aren't you selling your bed rack?

 

@GravityGear I bought a mid-height bed rack from uptop overland. Yes, selling my KB Voodoo hi-rise rack.

 

Anyone know of any good local fab shops that make skids and sliders for 100 series land cruisers or lx 470s?

 

There's quite a few in Denver. There's First Choice Fab, Denver Off Road, Rock Solid 4x4. Lil B's is in Pine. I don't know of anything in the Springs though if that's where you are.

 

Thanks man I’ll check them all out! I’m castle rock area so Denver works

 

Slee Off-Road

 

anything and everything LC. can't go wrong with slee.

 

I'm a big slee fan! They for sure have the skids im looking for. Just wanted to see what else was out there. Slee might break the bank

 

Have you put it up for sale yet??

Can someone recommend a good snow sports shop in the Denver metro, preferably South metro? Doesn't look like I'll be able to drive to LA to get my hardgoods this season. I know there's REI, but I would like a smaller shop... somewhere that has last season stuff. I'd like to get a beater for the season. I'll go get my good shit over the summer.

 

I’m actually a fan of Evo. Great customer service and if you find a lower price they will match it. Also, whatever you find ask if there is a previous year’s version for a larger discount.

 

Checking it out now.

Any recommendations for a repair shop that specializes in Toyotas? I need my rear wheel bearing pressed out and I know they have to be put back to tight tolerances so I was hoping to find a shop that know Toyotas. Anywhere in the greater metro area is fine, I'm willing to drive for quality.

Thanks!

 

I only let Tom at Automasters in Littleton work on my vehicles. Smaller shop off of 470 and Santa Fe and he only works on Japanese cars. Great great guy. Real honest and does things the right way

EDIT: Tom is the owner and like 3 dudes work there. https://www.automasterscolorado.com/

 

Charley's Garage in Boulder. I've been going there since my Tacoma went out of warranty in 2015. Only does Toyota and Lexus. Older guy, younger guy, dog named Stinky, and an old blind dog. Small shop in a divey, hard to find location in North Boulder, but good people and good prices. Tundra will go there from now on, as will my wife's 4Runner.

FYI - they only do drop off because of COVID and Charley's health. Last time I brought my camping chair and sat outside the shop.

 

Does anyone have recommendations on where to getting something powder coated?

 

Mile High or Colorwerks would be a good start.

 

i like those guys. almost bought a back country set up from them. right now i'm wishing i had. back country this season will be way better than dealing with the resorts...

Mile High Powdercoating is one of our clients at my work. I calibrate all their timers. The only local powdercoat place that cares about calibrating their timers. Tells me that they must want to meet ISO requirements. A plus in my line of work.

 

Awesome I’ll look into those! Thanks!
