Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Yup my dominant arm as well. Typing and writing have been hard. Haven't showered yet or bathed so I imagine that sucks as well. Button up shirts and sweat pants commando it is for me for a bit.

Hope you mend quickly!

Nice at my peak I had a 250r, 2 200x's, 4 250sx s, a 70 and a 200s. Kids brought about a downsizing. Kept the 250sx's as they are good for hunting with the shift on fly. I will be getting a couple of 70s for my girls though and a 110 again. I am on threewheeler world again. And the only one I wish I kept was my 350x from my younger days. That thing was awesome, with a aftermarket electric start! -Jon

 

I had a 250R back in the day but sold it to buy an Odyssey. Wish i still had both. Sold the Odyssey to buy a pilot which I miss the most on them all.

 

@tyfoon11

 

Nope, it is the inner part of the arm where it is still boxes and welded in that pic.

 

Yeah when my shop called, that was the quote and they asked for 2 weeks to do the repair.

 

Anyone have a good shop recommendation for an OME full install (located in east bay but will travel for a good price/service)

 

@Porter
No experience yet, but I just ordered the standard arms.

Discussion here and following posts:

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...gramming-i-think.395251/page-89#post-13640965

In a nutshell:

Pros:
Sufficient to meet my intended use (does not include hucking at Pismo)
Sounder design than Light Racing
Proven success in application to other brand vehicles.
Has advanced past new-product teething problems specific to the Tacoma, which appear to have been exclusively regarding the amount of built-in caster, not the actual real world integrity or durability of the structure and design.
Steadily gaining reliable reputation and customer satisfaction among Tacoma owners, including with a King ET setup.
Don't want the squeak and maintenance headache of uniballs
About 2/3 the cost of uniballs
Common ball joint part easily sourced and replaced if needed regardless of my location and circumstance
Lifetime warranty.
Very responsive to questions about providing them to me not directly off the shelf.

Cons:
Red

Potential, readily available, and economically viable mitigation measures to address redness:
Paint

 

Thank you Sir. I think I be ordering a set over the light racing. And red doesn't bother me, it'll match the rest of the truck hah

 

Did you spend hours agonizing through the JBA mega-thread yet?

Kings + JBA =

 

No, not yet.

Hah! Well I'm going with some Bilstein 5100s to start. I'm sure I'll move to Kings one day.....

 

If you have a day and a flat drive way there are many people on here who would be willing to help save some cash and help you do the install

 

MMMMM so hot!




oops.

 

Not a super flat driveway
They would have to be ok with working on a pre runner too

 

So why all of this over a Total Chaos UCA?

 

that's certainly your opinion

personally not a fan of the JBA/LR style UCAs.

 

Pro que?

 

Well we did @Tee Arghhhhhh Dee's truck its not a pre runner but still a little *cough gay cough* But we could probably find a place to do it

 

Cheaper, stronger than LR's, adjustable, and easy maintenance. Not built for what you do though.

But we should really support TC since @Bentrodder diverted most of their profits with his bed brackets. Mom & Pop gotta feed the kids somehow

 

I will just wait for @Bentrodder to knock off their UCAs (he can just put the logo on upsidedown) so we can get them for half the price
