GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Keep an eye out on Craig's List and FB. I've seen a few rtt lately for sale.

I've heard mixed reviews on the smittybilt tents. Cost effective yes, but not as durable in holding up to rips and tears, or withstanding strong storms.

 

Wut??

 

Well, my trucks at the dealer getting the frame replaced so it'll be awhile before I get to do any trail riding.

 

Has any of y'all 2nd gen guys done that power lock actuator repair? The thing where you open everything up and replace that tiny motor ($4) instead of the whole assembly ($300)

I haven't done it personally. Hope this video helps, though.

 

Thanks! I'll watch it after work today. I found an older write up here too that should help a bit. Hopefully between the two I'll figure it out.

On the same note, are mod/work days a thing here?

 

the idea of a mod day has been bounced around in here before, and I think it was brought up pretty recently. I'm not sure what was determined.
Maybe one of the other guys can chime in on this.

 

Cool. I figured this sorta repair isn't something I want to do in my apartment parking lot since the doors won't have any way to close once I start. Haha.

 

We'd just need to set a date and I'll talk with @bryanbyers28 to see if we wanna host it. Then just bring any special tools you'll need and beer. We can always order pizza or pitch in for some steaks and grill out. But let's wait until my leg is good to go. I'd much rather be helping then watching

 

I'm gonna be down in the next couple weeks. Gonna need some help with my UCA install for sure and it's always nice to have some experienced folks helping with the lift, too. @BYJOSHCOOK, eat your damn Flintstone vitamins so that leg will heal!

 

Ah, much wow. Will look

Didn't think about that, craigslist is the shit

Bennett I think is his name, like a 4 person rtt?

 

we just got back from a weekend up in earls ford and charlies creek .. took my mall crawler thru there so it wasn't too bad

 

Haha I should be 100% in about 2 weeks, I've been taking some vitamins ha. Doc said I should be able to take the boot off around the 28th pending final x-rays

@Burnett hes for the 4 person tent, not sure if he still has it or not

Charlie's creek is super fun and easy, haven't hit it in a good while tho

 

Count me in on a mod day. I don't mind lending a hand.

 

Who here has dakars, so confused on what I need.
Thinking of getting the greasable shackles but wheelers says the leafs don't come with any bushings....

Also, if you're a 1st gen with a u bolt flip could ya tell me how long they are

 

I've got dakars, get the greasable shackles it's better to have them. Yeah you'll need to buy some bushings for them.

I've got the u-bolt flip as well but I'm not at my truck. Ask in the first gen thread they'll know

 

Gotcha, just started adding stuff to cart on lowrange offroad that would go along well with a rear suspension freshen up.... $230

But on another note, guy offered me $600 for my old 17x9 wheels with 265s at 65% and one at like 20% tread. I paid around $1400 for it new, hard decision

 

For what it's worth- low range is super expensive compared to competitors. Even when they do group buys it's same price as their competitor normally is

 

If you can wait until Black Friday that's when the deals are. I got mine 20% off plus free shipping. So if you can wait I'd do that

 

Really? I compared some things to wheelers offroad and everything was cheaper at lowrange?
Like trail gear u bolt flip was $60 at lowrange and wheelers had one for $80

I'm not sure if I can, running stock leafs with lift shackles and stock shocks
