Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

That's good to know. I had the code read at Yotaman and it came back saying 3 out of 4 wheel speed sensors are bad. Which is bullshit. And at 200 a pop I don't feel like guessing which one is actually fucked up. Lights are annoying though, between those and the tpms light my dash looks like a goddam Christmas tree.

 

TPMS blows goats.

 

^couldn't have said it better myself!

 

pull gauge cluster, electrical tape over the TPMS light and put it over the the back side of the sensor overlay. Replace overlay and be on your way.

 

Off to the new alignment shop. Old one won't be laying a stinky finger on my truck again. They blow goats too!

Tech notes...

 

Should be able to get that for ya if he's good at his job. Took a few different places, but finally found a good shop up here in N.Bay. Hope they can get ya taken care of!

 

@bayareataco nice choice...

Thanks! Got him down another $500 and he met me in Truckee, also came with the M/T he was going to sell separate

Currently at the SMOG station........ :|

 

all these Quicksand tacomas are making me want to do unspeakable things.

 

So we were in truckee at the same time? I could have helped you. good luck at smog

 

I saw a quicksand tundra pro. Omg it was amazing.

 

I think they changed the color of it.. Saw one in person for the first time the other day since Toyota had it at Rock therapy... Not sure but it seemed like a darker shade. Maybe it was just dirty... If I am right, I liked the lighter shade better

 

It did look darker than the original pictures but still looked good. I really like how they embossed the TRDpro symbol on the beds of the tundra.

 

I have a buddy looking for that exact set up just bought a access cab last weekend. Pm me and let me know and I'll talk to him about it.

i too like the lighter shade of the color.

 

The tundra Pro is sick looking regardless of the color...

There are like 3 or 4 of them running around The truckee area

 

Yeah I saw a black one on 17 last weekend and the quicksand drove by
My house on Sunday. The guy definitely caught me staring haha

 

Argh, not too happy with the alignment. Said couldn't get right side caster above 2.0 without increasing positive camber also. It's maxed out. I feel a pull to the right, they say it tracks straight. Told me it was tire drift... And tire wear should be perfect, blah blah blah

Alignment sheet


Front forward eccentric


Front rear facing eccentric


Rear forward facing


Farthest rear


Can I ask the Internet wizards (aka @jberry813) for some advice?

 

It was a quick in and out! My dad helped me.... Didn't pass smog, it's missing a cat (should have 2) , my buddy at the muffler shop is fixing it as we speak, $300 to get it Cali legal to spec. Guess that kills my deal a bit but it's all good I knew I was taking a chance by buying a Nevada car.
