GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Truck looks good, install went smooth? I'm skimming posts while I ice ankle I rolled the hell out of yesterday

 

Sounds like fun, I hate when I do that hurts like hell!

 

Yeppers, got diff and tranny oil, plan on changing it all. I've read some not so good things on Toyota and their fluids.

 

@Traviste , extremely impressive build you have going. Hope to get a chance to see it and scope out what you've done in the wheel wells for those tires. Would also like to pick your brain on the subject of gears.

 

Thanks @Mudfootshuffle
I hope so. Ups lost my front shocks so she's on stands at work.
But ima try to get there
A BFH on the wheel wells and pinch weld and took the cab mount waaayyy back

 

Y'all coming in January? Can't wait to see your build @traviste :cool:

 

Excitement for today; winched my first truck out......of my yard. Unfortunately I hurt my ankle again doing it

 

well damn ... it must have been too much excitement for ya

 

Up and down stairs...fine....pull indoor fan motor out of air handler....fine....pull out winch rope.....crack!!! Pop!!! Damnit to hell ankle!!!!!


Still had fun reeling a full size Chevy loaded with tools and construction supplies up a hill with my new winch!!!!

 

Pics or it didn't happen

And what size? Havnt done much with my 9.5xrc

 

Well fudge!!! No pics of the pull but it's a smitty 10k wireless syn. First pull since install and felt silly taking pics in the yard. Did think of it before I re injuried my ankle.

 

Gotcha, I never think to either. Pulled my buddy in his regular cab around 4 times so far

 

I got a little to excited for my mods. I took tomorrow off to install them. But I’ll be there, Zack has a mug welder and I’ll bring my tig welder! I didn’t have any big mods anyways

 

You could probably rent the tool from autozone! Where’s the needle bearing at? Don’t wanna sound dumb just not sure!

 

^^^^ have and bringing ecgs puller.

 

Saw that! Haha. Holidays made it hard to get on here, and was trying to get all caught up!

 

Same here, 11d2 birthdays and Christmas!!!

 

Trying to get there. Ups lost my front kings so now I'm in gen day hold while they investigate..then they pay out and downsouth will ship me another set.
If they get here before mod day I'm there!

I have a smutty 9.5 and have used it a few dicey times and it has come through every time. Sucks about the ankle

 

going to GAS on tues to get suspension installed. Patrick seemed like a good dude when I talked w/ him on the phone. love supporting the small local guy when I can.

fox 2.5 front extended travel w/ 700lbs eibach springs that need to go on, 2.0 resi rear. OME Dakar med load leaf pack, SPC UCA, wheelers rear shackle flip and bump stops front and rear, ECGS needle bearing. Its going to be a long long day there, I have to wait on the truck.
Santa was good to me this year.

now to start looking at wheels and tires. waiting on the next SCS drop....

 

@Traviste , hope ups straightens things out quickly for you. Glad to hear you have had good luck with the smitty. Had warn and viper with the same failure rate on atv's so mid level seems good for me.
