As of today we are in

Hi! Joined the Taco family yesterday with a 2017 TRD Off-road. Would love to get together with some fellow owners in the STL area!

 

Congrats and Welcome! Just a heads up this Sunday a group of us are going to hit up Lost Creek Rd if your interested.

 

anyone got a rear bumper available? open to type. neighbor backed into my truck last week and insurance cut me a nice check. trying to get something sweeeet lmk st louisans

 

Yeah, might be interested! Assuming it's nothing a completely stock Taco with <50 miles on the ODO can handle.

 

Yeah you'll be more than fine, There will be other vehicles there that are stock and a lot less capable than the Tacoma. Lost Creek is primarily dirt roads and creek beds. Nothing crazy. I'm still running stock sport tires and I've done Lost Creek several times.

 

Great. What time?

 

You've got a lot you can do... You've got an off-road. It's a new truck however, the Tacoma is very capable even stock. Throw some 255/85/16's for ground clearance and then some sliders. You'll be golden then.

 

you guys hit lost creek?? i go there all the time. my buddies farm is off there. the old logging road I love climbing is there. next time let me know im definitely down to go! im leaving for colorado sunday tho. man thats crazy i hit lost creek like once a week

 

We are meeting at the Walmart in Warrenton at 8:00am. Afterwards some of us might go to Riefsneider Conservation for either grilling or there is also a shooting range down there that some of us might hit up.

took it to the top of the logging road and couldnt get up any further lol buddy crouches under my truck lol

 

A little late but wanted to reach out. October mod day on the 14th work for you? I'm gone the weekend after.

Will be at the shop this Saturday fiddling with the Tacoma and the camper.

 

If your going to be at the shop this Saturday, would it be OK to join you. I've been really eager to wire up my relay box since I finished putting it together.

 

We call it a scenic cruise as that's pretty much exactly what it is. There are a few sections that are just off the main route that are slightly more challenging but to be honest, a 2wd pre runner would handle it all. Welcome to the St. Louis Toyota family and I hope to get to meet you there.

 

Sure, a 70 Series friend might be dropping in with his new toy as well.

 

We will see. I might just do it at my own shop. 10min drive is a lot better than a 45min drive. Plus I have more electrical components at my shop in case I run into something I may need. I'll let you know as we get closer.

 

So, im getting the frame recalled, putting a new rear bumper on and spec d tail lights. Im trying to upgrade suspension to help with extra weight. could anybody lend me some pointers. I got 3" RC lift on it with 5100 billys and new leaf springs. people are tell me dakars in the rear and 886 coils up front with new ucas and it should hold both bumpers and take off the spacers and blocks. also need to see what kind of bumpers people suggest, I kind of like the tubular style ones from all pro but they only make first gen..

 

Yes on suspension if you do not want/need hardcore coilovers. instead of the 886 go 884 w/o a metal bumper that will be too stiff. Look into brute force fab they make tubular style bumpers.
