    I actually have sir! Completed most of the install a week after my classes ended. Planning on making a build thread to keep everything updated!

    Right on! I've had my taco for a week and I have tinted the windows, upgraded to HIDs, and swapped out the stock muffler for a Wicked Flow.

    Just moved to Corona in April. You'll see my taco rolling around. Any recommendations on a good alignment please in the area?

    Welcome to Corona! Glad to see another person in the 951. I actually take my Taco to the local Firestone for their lifetime alignment deal of $200 they got going. Heres the link to the Firestone, When you call ask for Josh and tell him that Nathan or Nate with the silver tacoma sent you, they will take care of you! Make sure to call a day or two in advance since they get pretty busy.

    Thanks Nate,

    Will Josh try to get the specs I want (0toe,0camber,3caster)? Firestone's in HB want to either charge or refuse to do it.

    I've heard mixed reviews on getting the lifetime alignment from Firestone. At least that's the impression I got when I was a part of charger forums. If anything there is a local shop off 6th st called BEAR ALIGNMENT. The owner is very reputable and they service corona PD vehicles.

    Josh is the manager that runs the shop and Eric was my tech that worked on my truck. Yes they will try their best to get the specs you want. I didn't have any refusal when I asked for similar specs. Also JC's recommendation for the a bear shop in corona is also a good choice.

    Thanks Joseph @JGTacoma ! The manager at the HB pretty much told me I can request any specs I wanted. But that was a lie, I will see how the Firestone in corona is first. And will hit up Bear Aligment after.

    Cool thing was the first thing they asked was if I wanted any specific specs. So that cleared my head of any doubts. Then again I requested for 0 toe 0 camber and like 3.0 caster and they got the toe and camber correct but my caster was at 3.7 with the new ucas. Drives like a champ though no wandering so worked out well.

    Also only go to the one on Main in Corona for Firestone. The one on Tyler is a big no no, Josh explained what was going on at that shop and it was pretty terrible hearing the stories.

    No problem! Let us know how the Firestone in corona is as I might consider getting the lifetime alignments from them if you have a great experience.

    Good to know! I need to change my SPC LR UCAs to the "D" position first. Unfortunately my place doesn't allow the tenants to work on their cars.

    Thanks so much for the tip!

    Will do! With a newborn it's tough to get anything done. Will try to get my UCAs adjusted in the next few weeks and an alignment. I got lucky and was able to leave the house to get my 30k tune up!
