DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

@Geremy how was the ride home on the new shocks?

@49erfan @Suprajim54 was 43 when i left, 34 when i got back to ft worth, truck was blowing all over the road too. Id say finished up right in time.

 

Just in time! Ran to get dog food and wind was me blowing me all over too

 

Ride seemed pretty good. Hard to tell with the wind. I'll get the alignment done tomorrow. Firmness is really good. So far I'm happy. Thanks again guys for your time, tools, and experience. Can't wait for my next mod now

 

Sweet, small world! LOL, out here, it's REALLY small. Does he have a Tacoma as well? Very cool about Sport city.

 

No he does not. But I really like the guys there

 

I certainly started working a little faster toward the end. It was getting COLD!!!

Glad to help, and now you know what to do in case you want to change out your front springs or replace the leaf pack. I think your truck looked pretty good sitting level afterward, though. After doing another 5100 install using the floor jack method instead of the spring compressor, I am fully confident in the ease and safety of it.

 

I just got to El Paso to visit family, 1st long distance trip with this Taco.
Now family time

 

Alignment done this morning and report shows just a minor amount of toe in that had to be corrected.

 

Mines at shop getting alignment

 

Thought I would post a quick pic for others.

 

I'm running 285/70/17 AT3's. My spare is the stock that came with the truck.

Anyone have (1) a spare matching wheel and/or (2) two matching tires that are the same diameter as my regular ones?

After the last trip to Big Bend, I need/want two spares, and I'd really prefer them to be the same diameter as my regular tires. Different width is fine.

 

Do we have anything planned for a January meet yet?

 

I think there is a bunch of people going to Barnwell Jan 13-15th.

I am thinking about attending if I can get a better tent or a good sleeping bag by then.

 

i dont think ill make the jan event. still need to get a truck bed tent. Going to try for the Jeep meet up in March then Jamboree hopefully.

 

Im not going to be able to make that trip in January. I have a bed tent for a shortbed if you want to borrow it.

 

All these people bailing on the January trip...

 

To be fair, I didn't know about it in order to bail. Lol.


Ive been super busy with the holidays.

 

There's also a few trips planned to Hidden Falls in Jan

 

REI garage sale is Dec 31st if you feel like a trip to Dallas

 

I'm right around the corner from there.

Burgers @ Keller's?
