is anyone on here from Austin?

That's awesome! Which store are you at?

 

Bee Cave Store, Grand Opening was today..... so nuts i work all week long 60 hrs

 

Hey man where in RR are you? My dad's house is behind the Stoney Point High School campus. I'm up there quite often actually...

 

Contemplating this wiring harness for my elocker swap. The switch is UG-LY though, but it sounds like to use a OE switch requires a different tie into the non-TRD OE system. Maybe I can find a similar function switch, but in a more OE look?

I will be attempting a front 5100 install this saturday. If anyone is board and would like to give onsite support please feel free to respond...I live in south austin.
Oh and please bring a jack and stands.

 

I'm up for my 5K service soon. Bought at champion and I reckon I'll do it there. Anybody know a specific advisor they can recommend?

 

I don't, be warned they will tag a few extra's on the ticket if you don't watch them...

 

Hey Guys,
Anyone recommend a shop in the Austin, RR or Cedar Park area to get some work done? i.e. lift, elite front bumper install? Tempted to go to 4x4 Parts off of Anderson cause I don't know of any other places....

 

If you wanted to come up to Killeen, I could do the lift and the bumper install.

 

I need some stereo work done on my Tacoma. Does anyone on here know anything about Custom Sounds here in Austin?

 

I can help install the front bumper. I live out in Lake Travis. I could help with a few other things too

 

They are pricey, but I got all my work done there. Good place but sometimes the sales guys can suck balls. I walked in there once with a wad of cash to install a stereo and sub and they never bothered to talk to me. I walked up to ask a manager a few questions. They did the install for free....

Just talk to the manager, you'll be better off

 

Qury, thanks for the input. I will be going to the one way out N. of HY183. I hope they can fix my problem.

 

When I had my taco I did the complete stereo install myself. Let me know if you would like a hand. I also did the stereo in my 4runner. I will be cheaper than custom sounds ; )

 

Well, got it back today and all works fine....except I have to have the Ebrake on to turn on Vid. player. I will be grounding that darn wire. Passengers need to be able to see the vid.

 

thats cool. Well tomorrow I'll be installing a lean spacer on my driver side. Anyone wants to join and hang out they are more than welcome

 

If only I were closer...

 

Any welding prodigies out there in the Austin area?

I have a couple small projects that require welding and am looking for help from a member (will compensate) or a referral to someone competent.

Aluminum:
During my recent move, my jon boat suffered a small hole to the hull and I'm looking to have that repaired, I have some flat stock for the repair.

Stainless Steel:
Just installed a Flowmaster stainless exhaust and would like to have the tube connections seam welded.

Plain steel:
Have a U-bolt flip kit and need to weld the new shock mounts to the axle, a friend and I were going to do this before the move, but just ran out of time.

Thanks

 

have you joined the greater austin tacoma off road (g.a.t.o.r.) facebook group? there is a guy on there that did a axle swap for MrsPib.. but i dont know what his name on here is

 

Just getting familiar with everything around here. I had not heard of it but will look it up, thanks
