Hey ya'll, I don't mean to jump on your BS thread, but I need a little Houston help.

I am very new to TW and first time Taco owner. I am looking to lift my taco but I want to keep my 2013 Texas Edition rims which would require a small wheel spacer to create enough clearance with the backspacing on these rims because I have a 2WD and am putting Maxtrac spindles up front.
Problem is that the local shop up here in Magnolia (supposedly only focus is lifting trucks), Truck Works, said they wont put my lift on with wheel spacers because "our insurance won't cover it". They say it is dangerous to have wheel spacers.
Bottom line: I am hoping to find another shop that ya'll might recommend up here to get my work done. Any recommendations would be awesome.

Thanks and sorry again for bogarting your thread.

You could buy all the parts you need. We can find some guys to come over and install it. Just for the cost of beer and food

Anyone know what kind of credit score is good for a $20-$25k loan for a truck?

This would be awesome!! I would be more than happy to supply whatever beverage and food source your hearts desire. Especially if it means I get to meet some fellow taco lovers and learn a ton from them.
Be fully warned, as I mentioned earlier, I am in the medical field and know almost nothing about vehicles. Thus I do not have even your basic torque wrench or truck jacks, etc. which is why I was originally looking for a good shop.
Also, (don't hate me too much cause I have read enough here to know how important it is to ya'll) but I don't drink alcohol. Hopefully I don't get booted off the thread for blasphemy.

It's cool, Dennis drinks enough to make up for you not drinking.

Picked up a soft shackle today from the CEO of Trail Toys... Great success

As for Amoco FCU yes. Co-worker was trying to get a loan for a mustang for $20k and they told him he needed at least a 625 when he was at 614. Once you're near 650 lenders will start wanting to give you stuff. Once you cross 750 you will get tons of offers from people.

Cool. So, I gotta ask (with the name of your truck), are you a Seahawks fan?

No. I don't even pay attention to football. How does the name of my truck relate to the Seahawks? Lol

RedNeck D · Mar 29, 2015

Personally not a fan of the new tundras. 4.7L* Tundras I like.

Edit: wrong number

Yea but I kinda want something newer. Idk. I'm sticking to Toyota for sure. Maybe even an FJ if possible.

I like the older tundras as well but finding one with low miles in good condition is kinda hard.

BeastMode is the nickname of the Seahawks AllStar running back, Marshawn Lynch. I grew up in Washington so I have been a Seahawks fan my whole life. Just moved to Texas little over a year ago.

Might make a decent trail rig after some paint with flat black rattle cans. Sketchy given the "reconditioned title" and the fact the owner thinks it had a v8 and a 6 spd though

I guess I don't see what you guys are talking about. It says V6

About this. Your interest rate should be below 10%, if you have a 680 and you are buying a new vehicle Shell FCU will give you .99% right now
