Tacos in St. Louis area

I plan to get there ahead of you guys and get the furnace running so the heated floor will be in full effect. See you tomorrow.

 

I'm gonna make a Home Depot run in the morning before I get there so if anyone needs anything let me know here and I'll check tomorrow morn

 

Thanks to a bajillion phone calls while I was trying to sleep today I didn't get the rest I needed. I don't think i'll be able to make it out to the mod day. y'all will be packed up by the time I'm up.

Hope to see a couple of you at the mo4wd party in chesterfield Sunday tho!

 

Plus Randy's truck in the shop getting his OME suspension installed. Having fun, wish you were here.

 

Looks like quite the party

 

Mike here in Edwardsville near Saint Louis, New to the forums. I have a white 2008 access cab lifted, not sure how much, bought it used and love it.
Right now looking for new or used 17" tires and maybe wheels if anyone has anything . Also interested in the next get together. mine has 255 75 17's on it, is that unusual or a stock tire size? mike

 

Hey Mike,
I just hopped on here too. I'll keep an eye out for tires. Do know of any but haven't been looking. The stock tire that came on the trd Sport is 265/65/17. So you have taller and narrower tires now. You see all kinds of combinations out there. You usually have less mods (fender trimming, cmc) with a taller narrow tire vs taller and wider.

 

How's it coming guys? Is the OME lift done?

 

Most everything that needed to be installed at todays mod day was installed for the people who turned up. Sadly one upgrade looked to be poorly labeled and documented by the manufacturer so we stopped before we did something wrong so it can be researched more. I followed Randy out to the state highway and everything was looking good but I think the flapping of the box lids and the new feel of the truck had him a little sketched out.

I had a great time today. I enjoyed making some new friends as well as getting to hang out with some older friends. For the next mod day we will make sure that there is a bit more advanced notice to hopefully help everyone to be able to work it into their schedule.

 

I made it home safely. It was great pleasure meeting everyone! Special thank to G.T., Garret, Angel, Steve ,and Nesto for helping me install my OME lift kit! Without you guys probably cost me a lot . I couldn't thank yall enough. Can't wait til next time.

 

Finally finished up at 11pm. got home at 12am. Couldn't do my hood struts because the instructions were for 05 - 15 tacoma so the measurements were off. have to call and see what true measurements are

 

My name is Garrick. you were close.

 

Damnit Randy!

 

OK so here's the deal, The hood struts I received from my secret santa were purchased for a 05 - 15 Tacoma. Good news is one of my family members ALSO bought me a redline tuning hood strut set this time for a 2016+. So before I try to return one of these hood strut sets, does anyone here want my 05 - 15 kit. I'll sell them for $85. Online MSRP is $90. BRAND NEW

 

So I take my truck to Firestone early trying to get alignment.
They told me couldn't do it. cause there something todo with UCA .
They say maybe one of the washer install backwards.i ask if he can fix it for me and he was like we don't wanna be the one to blame. Idk what to do now . Don't have tools =(

 

Did they show you the problem? I have a heap of medical stuff being scheduled tomorrow so afterwards I'll be able to know when I can open the shop if you need it.

 

I'll find out more tomorrow when I pick it up. That's all he told me through the phone. Lucky I'm off tomorrow. Thanks G.T.

 

Let me know if I can help. I wasn't there for the uca install part of it am really curious to see what happened.

 

So I tried do it but couldn't bend the sheet metal to get the long bolt out .
It got really cold now and dark.so I'll try again tomorrow

 

Anyone know of an easier way or what tool be easiest for me to bend frame on my passenger to install my UCA?
