A journey with my boys- The Elf Barn as I call it. (3 Viewers)

[ceylonfj40nut]

So I was visiting with @SipLife at Texas A&M for parents weekend. Some a%#hole stole my catalytic converters on my Tundra. Go to fire it up in the morning and it sounds like a nascar on steroids.

Did not realize it is the number one truck meth heads target.

Reason

It’s has 4 premium quality cats

Like hitting four cars in one

On a plus side @SipLife and I hung out doing car stuff.

They hit my f450 one night not long ago. Hell of a wake up call first thing in the morning.

Bastards. I've been there. They cut mine out of a minitruck once.

Tough times when you need armor to protect cats from thieves more than rocks.

Sorry to here that CD. Brutus would not have had that risk. He’s probably still mad that he was put up for adoption .

I know right. Payback is a b*%tch. I don’t regret having 380hp though. Not for a split second. ‘‘Twas an upgrade in every way.

I get rhat. My 7.3 was good but my Tundra is a beast towing. Way more launch power than my old SD ever had.

Sorry about the cats. Makes me nervous. More so for the perp if I caught them in the act. Boot to balls

They sell a sump guard that makes stealing hard. Looking into this.

Hades had a few things needing to get done before we could get it inspected. Horn, wipers, reverse light system, dimmer switch, LED headlights. Got everything to work. Boys spent a quality Friday night getting a new reverse switch wired into the harness. Once inspected we will replace all bulbs with LEDs. @Cowboy45 will be driving this daily to school and back. He has tennis that has him home by 8p. Safety is key.

v8, front DISC, rear drum. Funny you mention roll bar. On my mind. Don’t have one that fits with longer rear seats. Have a couple in the barn. Need to do some homework to see how it will go all together with soft stop bows.

 

[Broski]

I know our first thoughts are to keep our children safe !!
I also know Cowboy45 well be the Envy of many school boys driving that Rig to school, maybe some girls too !!

Roll bar won't interfere with soft top bows at all. The bows are higher and the first bow uses the B-pillar to mount

What does your roll bar look like @samc2447?

It won’t interfere with the bows, but will interfere with the long jump seats, unless spacers are installed to space the back of the jumpseat away from the quarter panel.

Good opportunity to acquire a tube bender and make a bespoke one!

Get your order in and be patient. This one took a while.

Which model did you get? Hydraulic?

 

[Broski]

Looks like the JD Squared, same one I have it's set up with the air over Hydraulic.

 

[waiting for time]

You need one of these too, you just don’t know it yet.
