Im excited, me Dave right?

 

Sweet I got the license off that truck if it comes through Ohio you'll need to get another

 

Nice try Dave, but it's a Pickup bed, not a Trekker tub... sorry pal! haha!

I will hunt you down... LOL I wouldn't blame you for trying though!

 

Corey, Thank you SO MUCH!! I was having the absolute worst day ever yesterday and as I was laying in bed last night trying sleep it all off I got the post notification from this thread. I took a look and your post simply made it all go away. I didn't even want to respond, just laid in bed with a smile. You sure do know how to make a boy blush... LOL You were a day late for my birthday though, but that's ok since I know they likely don't ship on Sundays. I'm so stoked to see it!

Question for you too, how much does this thing weigh? It's going to my office so I need to know how much man power (AKA yuppy co-workers in dress shirts and ties) I need to get it in my trailer to haul home.

 

It would become a pickup real quick.

 

Dave , my pleasure .. I thank you for your business .
you also have an email with all the tracking info. and such .

in the crate , weight is ~ 400 lbs


.

 

400 lbs = 12 suits lol

 

Got the email, been checking the tracking every 2 hours... It's like tracking Santa on Christmas Eve!! Haha It's been a pleasure dealing with you and I'm certain that this won't be the last! Check your PM's I about to send you something you might interested in.


12 suits?! You do realize that I will be one of those suits and I'm good for at least 300lbs right? For 400lbs I'm thinking me and my aministrative assistant in a skirt will probably do... Haha!

 

You'll be good for an extra 100 lbs when that thing shows up! We wanna see pics with that bed strapped to ur back lol!

 

I suppose I need to get some comfy ratchet straps then... Sit back fellas, I got this! LOL I have a feeling that I'd end up in line after Dave (HighLux) to get back surgery...

 

I was gonna say....being a hero and lifting heavy stuff may seem cool. Till you pay for it later.

It doesn't always start off slowly either....you can just "pow" just like that and smoke a disc in your back. From bust your butt work your tail off everyday to couch gimp.

Respect your back and always ask for help. If 5 guys are standing around...make 5 guys lift.

Its really not worth it.


(This had been a public service announcement from grumpy old man with bad back studios)

 

I totally agree with u, I was just joking around. Excitement can get the best of us at times tho. I'm 31 and am paying for my younger days at times tho nowhere near what u are. Back in my late teens and early 20's I worked construction and always offered to pack the shingles up the ladder onto the roofs. Thought it was a good way to keep in shape. It worked but I'm paying for it now. I really think twice before strong-arming stuff anymore.

 

Dave has got it right, I'm only 31 and my back is already damaged goods. I am one of the few unfortunate individuals that have an "extra" vertebrae. Where most people have L1-L5 vertebrae and their S1-S5 vertebrae are fused together (basically your tail bone), I have what is called a lumbarisation where my S1 vertebrae did not fully fuse to the Sacrum group. So I basically have a "L6" vertebrae that would be a fused S1 in most other people The problem with it is that since that vertebrae was "supposed" to be a fused vertebrae, the disc between my "L6" and "S2-S5" group is about half as thick as what it should be to function properly thus causing some lower back pain and improper spinal alignment that will likely increase as I get older. Couple that with the fact that I fell asleep driving and ran a car into a telephone pole at 60mph and you have a recipe for eternal back problems....

So yeah, take care of your backs fellas!

 

The extra vertebrae was because you were meant to have a tail. lmao.

 

I've always wonder why I get the sudden urge to pee on light poles and bushes while I'm walking down the street... Well there ya go!

 

comin right along

 

Yea you better let the skirt of it

 

Well today should be an exciting day, but it could turn into disappointment... According the the tracking number, my bed should arrive today BUUUUTTT the tracking also says that it is outside of Chicago right now (don't go crazy guys and try to track down the truck to rob them!). It has been stuck there for a few days now so I'm kind of hoping that they just didn't update the tracking number. Time shall tell and the anxiety is killing me!!!

Also, I happened to stumble across a part source that has what appears to be NOS stock collision repair parts for REALLY cheap - not sure if they are Toyota NOS or aftermarket. They don't have many parts, but they do have a few grilles, headlight doors, side markers, bumpers, hoods and tail lenses. Not much more outside of those parts and the website doesn't have pictures so I didn't order everything I wanted for now. I ended up ordering a set of CHROME (yes I said CHROME) headlight doors and a chrome grille. The total came up to $27.63 shipped so I figured that it was worth a gamble at that price. We shall see... If the parts are quality parts then I'll go back for a few more items that I have had trouble finding and I will let you all know if it is worth buying from them.

Another question that you all might be able to help me out with... Does anybody know the part number for the full front bumper (preferably in chrome) that wraps around the fenders and DOES NOT have bumper ends? Or any information on what years and models they came on?? Being that I finally found chrome headlight doors, I would like to go with a chrome bumper instead of my alternate black trim plan.

I'm looking for one like these on Erick and Don's trucks:




I appreciate any help you all can provide! Thanks fellas!
