Well I don't think I will be able to make this next run as my rig just isn't ready for those kind of trails yet hehe. Took it out this last weekend so got a good feel for it and tore up the running boards in the process so will be taking those off.

Sliders will very likely be my next purchase

 

*** TRIP UPDATE *** May 3rd trip has been re-scheduled for May 17th. Still planning on Evans if it is open.

Don't sweat it bro get that puppy squared away before you thrash on it. I got my sliders in over the weekend and will be putting them on this upcoming Saturday. I'll let you know how they are, though I can tell you just by the quality of workmanship they are great.

 

Sweet, yeah I am pretty sure those are what I will go with. Just need to decide if I want to knock out the 1"BL first. I keep going back and forth on the 1" over the 2" (which would allow me to lift the drive-train later).

 

I would lift it first. Just my .02

 

Yeah, just gonna go with the 1". Will likely get both the lift and the sliders on the same payday lol.

 

Cool, the re-schedule makes my chances of making it a little better. Still Haven't found lug nuts for my other wheels so I'm kinda screwed there. Hopefully I'll have them by then.

Webbuff - Well well, I've now been quoted in someones signature, I'm not sure what to say, I feel like...well...I feel like a banana riding a llama

 

Why are they proving so difficult to locate?

 

LOL well it was a good quote haha

 

Oh also got the running boards off last night.. now the truck looks taller hehe

Think I will need to shorten the flare in front of the rear tire, but will likely way till I get sliders to see how it lines up.

Will get some pics up once I get it washed lol.

 

Sweet. Can't wait to see her.

 

Getting a whole new set will cost almost $100 which is rediculous, I paid less for the wheels, so I'm trying to find some elsewhere. I tried Pick-a-part on 99 because they pull the wheels off all the vehicles in there and I figured they'd have buckets full of the things, but when I went there I was told someone just took all of them the day before . Right now I'm seeing if MightyMouse, one of the members here, can get them. He started a thread a while back saying he has access to what is basically a Toyota graveyard and can get any part you want. Seems like he's gotten a lot of stuff for a lot of people here so it's worth a shot. PM'd him yesterday, just waiting to hear back. We'll see, If I can't get them by other means I'll just have to break down and buy new ones. I just hate to spend more on lug nuts than I spent on wheels.

 

I hear ya. Have you checked Ebay? I've found some stuff I couldn't find anywhere else on there lately. Find them one way or another! We missed you on the last run brother. This next one is shaping up to be pretty sick.

 

And here it is without the running boards

 

So begins its transformation from pavement princess to trail slayer.

 

Indeed lol

 

I didn't even think to check ebay. Just looked, about $25. I'll be ordering them up soon.

 

I just found something that you need SqWADoosh.

Second product down.

 

Yeah I've seen them. I just can't justify the price tag. I'm keeping my eyes peeled on CL for them. Good looking out though!

 

Good luck finding some that aren't smashed to pieces. Mine have certainly taken a beating.

 

Yes this is my dilemma. To be honest though I use all that space to hold a bunch of different ˟˟˟˟ so I'm not too torn up about it.
