Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

I don't think my winch will be on yet but I'll have a snatch strap and high lift jack with me

 

I'm not going, but if y'all get in to a bind, y'all can call me up. I've got a fair amount of spare parts 20 min away.

 

And as always, you're welcome to stop by if you like Mitch.

 

This is why I need to order sliders...

Pelfreybilt free shipping...

 

I'll definitely be in touch Chris! The bumper is supposed to get delivered to the freight terminal today, not sure if I'll have time to get it - might be tomorrow. Then need to get it painted etc... My wife has plans for us on Saturday otherwise I would have already reached out to see what your schedule was like. I'll probably be in touch sometime next week to see what your 25th or 26th looks like

 

Let me know. 26th I've got a quick job in the morning, but rest of the day is open.

 

Gentleman, there is a fella in another group selling the TRD OR suspension off a 2017 with 60 miles on it.

Nice upgrade for 2nd gens. Still trying to get a price and see if he is Austin bound anytime soon!

 

I have a question for @Texoma or anyone else who knows the answer.
When installing new shocks when are you supposed to stop tightening the top nut?

 

There is a torque spec for it, but good luck with getting a torque wrench to work without a crows foot. I usually tighten until I meet a little more resistance than when I originally put the nut on. Usually when I tighten it down, I go until it pretty much isn't easy to turn any more.

 

Thanks, I have some noise from the suspension that I thought was coming from the rear springs.
When i installed the new rear springs the other day I cleaned everything good and a lot of the noise went away but then I noticed that some of it was still there but in the front.
I looked at everything thinking a had a bad bushing and noticed that on one of the front shocks the top nut is only tightened down so that 2 or 3 threads are exposed.
So now I'm thinking that could be the source of the noise.

 

I had noise coming from the front and it was actually coming from the bottom mount of the shock. Spray some lithium grease and see if it goes away (at least for a little bit)!

 

Thanks, I'll try that also.

 

Not mine but found it on Austin craigslist, thought it was neat and someone might be interested.

Thats bad ass!!!

@Toyboata snag this puppy!

 

Smells like a fake, to cheap to be honest......

 

Yeah, I think he is missing a '1' in there

 

I want it, if it's in good condition and fit the second gen.....

 

Already sent him an email on it

 

Having owned two Wildernests in the past I can say that it certainly looks genuine. If none of you want it I'll send you $150.00 to pick it up and $50.00 to hang on to it until I can get back down to pick it up from you.

 

Contacted him also. @wagerhope doesn't want it.......

Won't work with your tire gate anyways.....
