Lowdown on Off-road parks

[Rick Modena]

So you're not gonna make it, I was hoping to come out and park under an tree and watch you guys climb shit...

Try trendsetters. They do great work.

At this point, I don't think I am going to have time to get anything done in TX. I leave on the 23rd, and have a million other things cram-packed into the time I have left. I've been talking with a fab guy up near Colorado Springs who really seems to get what I want, and makes me glad I didn't get the other kit. with this heavy pig of a truck, I'm probably going to go with some thick square tubing for the legs and main slider bar, and maybe just use round tube for the outer bar. It will be super tough, but it's also going to cost me a lot more than I was initially planning. Won't be done in April, either. Maybe this summer.

Went to order a set of sliders yesterday. The shipping was going to be $250 and take 3-4 weeks. Fug that.

Really wish I knew of a fab shop that has done these before, has time to knock them out quickly, and wouldn't charge me an arm and a leg. Baertrax in Dallas is great, and I've had several things done there, but they are extremely proud of their work. I really don't want to drop a small fortune on rock sliders.

Better yet, I wish I had the equipment and experience to make them myself.

Yeah that was my first thought. Ran into a guy at Sam’s one day and was discussing these vehicles and he said that he uses a place over off of 35 in Fort Worth. Looking for a Toyota mechanic I can trust.

I have never used them, but Tandem Offroad gets good reviews.

I dont know if that has a CV in the drive shaft, but make sure they dont just replace parts till they fix it.

I haven’t had mine off road yet but when I tested the four-wheel-drive, I was getting a clicking noise when turning so I think I may have a front CV joint going out. Will need to get that corrected before I can go wheeling.

Let’s make it happen!

Swapping in Delta Joints tonight in place of the Icon uniballs on the 4runner. Have to put an oil cooler on the Raptor too. I have 2 down vehicles right now but should have them both fixed by then. If the Raptor is still down I dont want to possibly tear the 4runner up

Technically I can start driving that week, so maybe I can make it! I would have to take it easy, don't want the new kidney bouncing around!

I may be able to the 16th

Anyone able to get out there Mar 16 or 17? It’s my last chance before I go back to CO, and my truck may never be back down here in TX.

Looks like a truck now.

Looks good!

I’m probably going to hit them up for the same tires, different size, here pretty quick.

Craig that’s some really good work on the jeep too!

Holy crap, that is half the cost of the sliders probably!
I had Mike's Off Road order the RCI full skid plate kit, 1/4 aluminum, black powder coated, rear Fox 2.0 shocks and hi beam HID lights to have all 3 the same. Can't wait to get them installed!
Mike's has quickly become my favorite place, lol
