NorCal spotted and BS Thread

@Bob sends us an application!!!!

 

Metal fabrication is my specialty. Wait 'til I get my welder up and running, I'm gonna whip up a rear diff skid. I just don't have much space to work.

 

Have you done the rear diff mod yet? I have a feeling you're going to be crossing some body of water with us sooner or later.

 

Why is the washer on top necessary, the if the bolt has a big enough head you don't really need it do you? I would put the washer under the the d-ring, do it like how it is on a Tacoma.

 

@16tunterd are you installing the bumper right now?

 

here is another one @joonbug

They're good. Lot cheaper and you don't have to fab up your own T-slot nuts. Only thing, the OEM tie downs won't fit without some tinkering. Oh, and you will probably have to drill a couple of holes through the unistrut to line up with holes in the bed.​

 

That thing hasn't even shipped yet.

 

I just installed the TRD CAI.

 

Those are really good for watercrossings..

 

no pictures no proof. you know the rules.

 

It's the same as stock, just a little more bling...

 

@16tunterd check ebay sometime. I won a bid from discount tire.. 35x12.50 18 general grappler for 80$.. thing is pretty new. It's a little bigger and a MT, but it will be a decent spare to get out.

 

Anyone still have their stock spare tire? I have mine, I just don't think I have lug nuts. But we should bring 2 to the desert. Incase we all run over some broken glass. As long as we have 2, we can use them in an emergency.

 

That's a good deal!

 

ya.. i didnt really want it.. just bidded on it and won.

 

I have mine.

pricey

 

i let someone borrow my stock spare.. and him and the spare disappeared..

 

Do you have a full size spare?

 

ya. @joonbug
he got a 305/40/22

 

we call em rubbabandzz

 

I got both. Needed it driving across the country 3x.

 

Nice, that full size spare sucks to buy.

 

Only problem is the tire is questionable. Made to only hold air.

 

That, hopefully, is all you need it for.

 

Funny, came across the diff mod the other night and and Amazon had one day shipping on the union. Just need to pick up some hose and will get it done soon.

 

Okay, since it looks like we might have some fuel problems at Death Valley, ordered another gas can and mount. It just never ends.

 

Here's some cool hose:https: //www.ebay.com/itm/10-Feet-6-AN-Nylon-Stainless-Steel-Braided-Fuel-Gas-Oil-Line-Hose-AN6-Silver/253066792105?hash=item3aebf4cca9:g8cAAOSwsW9Y2Mdy&vxp=mtr
