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

We did wait until a “reasonable” hour to use the power tools on a Sunday morning

I really should have cut my exhaust at your pad. Pretty sure my driver side exhaust tip is oval after broken arrow

 

Well, let’s plan another truck day at the house, we’ll get the grill going to! I need to chase down a few items on my truck as well

 

He does nice work!

i think mine turned out just fine though...


although I'm not sure where these wires go... LOL


hahahaha

just kidding

 

Where did you source this carbon fiber look?

 

metoo I am up for it as well

 

Does anyone have any local recommendations for shock rebuilds on Kings with IFP? There is a SoCal first gen that needs his rebuilt. @akhero

I'll also need to rebuild and revalve on mine eventually so TIA.

 

Its 3M Di-Noc Carbon Fiber Matte Black Vinyl wrap

Do you still have it? I will talk to my boss.......

 

Moved to the *correct* thread:

It's gone.

 

Thought I would share with the so cal fam

 

Anyone possibly have a heavy duty spring compressor that lives in the Poway area that would love to loan or rent to me. I'm going to learn how to revalve my shocks.

 

The more straps you use the better. You got this!

 

Wish I could help you out... I am also in Poway

 

Yotamasters and total chaos are both near each other in Corona. I would highly recommend Yotamasters buy they slammed until next year.

 

Is that one of the tools you can get free with a deposit at Auto Zone or O’Reilly’s? I think so.

I’d try ratchet straps, as Tony suggested… not really… I’ve read this is a pretty risky venture, even with the “right” tools.

 

No please don’t use ratchet straps lol

 

Haha. That looks terrifying.

 

Even with the proper tools it scars the crap outta me. I’ve never done a tundra but back in the Honda days we did a lot of lowering springs. Things are sketchy

 

Yeah with 700 lbs springs and need to compress about 2in. I'm looking at about 1400lbs of force. That could do some damage.

 

I knew I was a “grown up” when I started thinking, before trying something, how it would sound being described at a funeral…. Then we all started following The Darwin Awards. Yeah, maybe don’t use ratchet straps for this project.

 

Oh yeah love the Darwin Awards...

 

Any plan for this to happen? Have a laundry list of items that need to be installed. Have all the tools, beer, or meat needed for a truck day. Just don’t have a driveway for installs

 

Where are you?

 

Apartment in Carmel valley. People would go ballistic if they heard an impact wrench

 

Hey, just checking here:
Anyone have a 4runner looking for parts?

We’re taking my fianceé’s 2020 4runner down to stock to sell.

Have a front bumper, rear swingout bumper, sliders, lift, UCAs, sliders, wheels and tires all for sale - also open to trades with stock bumpers, suspension parts, wheels and tires.

Sliders and rear bumper are powder coated. Front bumper is painted.

Also a couple odds and ends like awning mount brackets that go to the stock roof rails and ditch light brackets.

 

That’s a clean 4 runner.. what you buying next?

 

Thanks! I love it man. I’ll miss it when it’s gone.
She’s going to jump into a car that’s more fuel efficient. I’m hoping she gets a few year old Lexus ES300h, but we’ll see.
If we play our cards right the car will become my daily in several years -> she’ll get a truck again -> the Tundra will no longer be the daily so I can really chop it up!

 

Hey, @SAGE63 when I bought my extinguisher mount, it was ridiculously expensive. Since then, I guess the pandemic demand motivated others to mass produce them; here’s what I’d get now. At ~ 80% less price:

$27 MFC New Multi-Purpose Aluminum Adjustable Fire Extinguisher Holder Mount with 8 Clamps(4 pcs Extra Adjustable Rings for Spare Using) Compatible with for Jeep Wrangler UTV Polaris RZR Ranger
