Colorado BS Thread

Man, my truck has been gettin WORKED this season, just like these old(er) bones. Been in the mountains pretty much every weekend. Slopes, skating on lakes, snow shoeing... I think it's time to get some long track sleds. Got a handful more weekends in the snow, then prep for downhill, whitewater, paddling and, camping season. House hunting again this summer, hopefully be able to actually close this time. Lemme say, livin the CO mountain sports lifestyle is SIIIIICCCKKKK.

 

Does anybody know a good transmission shop in Denver? Got some weird shifting issues on my commuter car.

Thanks!

 

Hi people! I've made from tacoma world because I bought a tundra and now I need more friends with bigger trucks.

Also has anyone towed their tacoma with their tundra?

I picked up a cleanish platinum last week to do truck stuff with.

 

Let's see it!

 

I just got it back to stock grandpa style.

 

That's a good looking tundra and tacoma! What are your plans with the Tacoma and where do you tow it?

 

I haven't towed the tacoma it drives good on the highway. Plans are to actually buind a 40s to 50s studebaker truck into a crawler.

 

Need some motivation to do these projects. Anyone get together to do little projects on their trucks? I have a few things I want to do (cold air intake, rearview mirror with front and back cameras, lights, etc) that have been sitting in boxes waiting for a time to install. Thought it might be fun to meet others and get help/ help them with their project with beer. I'm in Southwest Denver.

 

I have a rear sway bar and spark plugs to do. I need to find a take off suspension with lower miles to slap on too.

 

Any of you folks that might be closer to Springs or Pueblo that may know of a company to build a pole barn? @ColoradoTJ ? Or if one in Denver that will travel down to Rye (south of Pueblo). Huge wind storm ripped the roof off my dad's barn, snapped a huge pine tree that landed right on top destroying it. He has State Farm and what it sounds like is they may be paying out the company building the barn since they want multiple quotes instead of cutting him a check. They didn't really specify who or how the cleanup would be covered. I assume most places will only build the barn, not tear out the old first.

I know this is an older post, but I just saw this thread and can confirm Colorado was a much different state before 1990 when all the Silicon Valley money moved in a ruined it. I was born in Boulder in the 70s and it was not what it has become. Shame really...

 

I’m happy that I got this plate again, but disappointed that no one swooped it up between my Land Cruiser and Tundra.
haven’t been on here in a while! Hope to get an OME kit in this summer sometime to help carry the camper.

 

What's it mean?

 

I forsee four low

 

My brain wasn't braining

 

Pretty kuul plate actually

 

Anybody know of a good shop around here for a re gear? I'm thinking about going 5.29's and definitely not doing this in my driveway. I thought of Toytec and have reached out to them but wanted to see if there were others that might be able to handle the install.

 

Give these guys a call.
Differential, Axle Parts & Repair Shop, Jeep|Toyota|GM|Ford (axleandgear.com)

 

But that’s why it’s fun!

 

Welcome to the old man club

 

Ditto that..

 

Few changes to the family van

 

@Chadr7858 Did you get new exhaust and tires in the Tundy already?

 

I actually took of the magnaflow it had and put on a tock exhaust. However I did throw on some Kenda at2s and a rear swaybar which was super weird to do when I'm used to removing them lol

 

I don’t know / but I’d be open to it. Seem to need a second set of hands sometimes and can’t find ‘em - but happy to trade wrench time

 

Whats going on fellow Colorado Tundra family? Is anyone planning an off-road get-together this fine season?
