Less than a week bump.

Also anyone out there think they drill and tap this at 90* to original before this trip?

It's for my netbook mount and the way I got it mounted it needs to be offset from the original so I can still get the screw in it.

Just swing by Lowes and pick up the tap and die you need. Throw it in a vise and have at it. That looks pretty simple to drill out.

That's what I'll prob end up doing. Just wanted to see if I could get it exactly perpendicular to the the surface so that it lines up on the holes on both sides of the vertical post.

I could do it for you if you could get it too me. Overnight it?

 

[Silverback]

You can probably get pretty damn close.. or close enough, with a drill and bit. Just take your time, use a center punch to mark it.

Also while I'm thinking about it, some of the expo guys at the meet and greet were talking about camping out at marble falls on Sunday night for those who have Monday off for prez day. I most likely will not be wheeling at marble falls as were taking the mtn bikes and plan on riding the bikes around the mtn bike trails Sunday afternoon and Monday before we head back to Houston. So if anyone wants to join for that feel free to join in on that.

I'll have to clean the 1/8" of dust off my bike. LOL

Sean, if you wait till some high humidity, it may get more respectable and turn to mud!!!

 

[Silverback]

LOL.. it probably would. Last spring I took it to the bikeshop for a tune-up.. haven't ridden it since. Pretty sad.

That's what's mine covered w right now. Last time I was at memorial park it was still really muddy in spots where they are putting up a new building beside the trail.

Pretty much, I might try and catch up with you guys saturday afternoon but I would be a full day behind.

 

[SamSter0077]

[Silverback]

What happened? This is why you need to put a build thread on TOR and NOT T4R!

he broke a front diff mount at BVORR last weekend and has been fighting a random bad miss on the highway.

 

[Silverback]

Does he have skids up front?

 

[Mauzer]

^ I think he has the stock skid but with a diff drop they really aren't protecting those diff mounts

 

[Silverback]

Reason #1 why skids and sliders should be first on anyones upgrade list. That sucks.

Yeah no shit, added a 4-runner section, hell even changed it from Tacoma to Toyota and still no build thread.
