Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Some suckers paid over 40k for their Tacoma’s...

Myself included. But I recognize that I am a special model whore. My 05 MR2 Spyder is a special edition, my Tacoma is a TuRD Pro, my wife’s GX is The Mark Levinson Special Edition. I recognize the non value that most special editions are, but I still chose to buy them.

 

I’m not too familiar with the build built one but I agree that a weld on would be better.

My dad and brother run traction bars in their leaf sprung FJ40s but they’re also running v8s so they have lots of axle wrap. They centered the bar though and just run the one.

I’ve debated off and on if I need one, I usually just let off if my rear end starts to jump. Been ok so far.

 

what trail do you guys visit!

 

NERDS

 

The easiest way to adjust is taje them off the truck and use a vise.
Rock and road has a good you tube video on rebuilding coilovers. More info then you need but the prosses of breaking down a coilover is what really helps see how to maintain your investment. There is a few things in that video that will help.

 

I looked at that. Opted for the two-piece due to concerns about lower critical speed rating on really long driveshafts. Didn't want to install a driveshaft that my truck was capable of destroying at speed (not on a public road). The diameter and wall thickness that would have been required for the one piece just got dumb.

 

All of them! I’m waiting for the snow to melt so I can hit up some local to me stuff.

Here’s what NorCal people have been posting:

What is a Mark Levinson special edition GX? I have a GX with the Mark Levinson sound system, but sounds like this special edition deal is something else.

 

‘Sup my dudes! Freshened up the nearly 5 yr old spray job on my Elite Fab (RIP) bumper and RCI skid yesterday. Now just gotta add the factor 55 fairlead I’ve had for ever waiting to be put on.



Free Warn hawse fairlead to whoever wants it.

 

What’s up Anthony! Looking good!

 

Hey James! Thanks man, I know I’ve been a bit absent in the past few months here, but looking forward to a fun camping season this year!

 

Rather buy the bro-dozer

 

Saw a lifted powerstroke with a sticker that said “Cali Coal”, that good?

 

18 mile bicycle ride today pulling the trailer with the 2 younger ones in it, +/- 110 lbs. Then wife decides to go grocery shopping while we were stopped so add another 40-50lbs. Think I’m gonna go throw up now.
Happy Sunday everyone!

 

Macy's parking lots are brutal

 

this thread may be the best spot in the country for a norcal burrito review. fu yelp.

Burritos.

 

Anybody in the Northbay willing to help out with a lift install next weekend?

Kings all around, UCAs, and an AAL for a 2017 (nice and clean underneath). I’ve got all the parts and tools, along with a place to wrench - just really hoping to find someone who’s willing to lend a pair of hands/some experience.

Willing to pay cash, give you Alaskan salmon, supply endless beer, and food. Just really need a hand. Unfortunately already have weekend plans for mod day.

Located in Sebastopol/Cotati.

 

My head.....ouch. Jamo, tequila, and hella beer dont mix...lol

 

Hopefully somebody can help Jake out, he’s a good dude. He has been waiting on me forever to get caught up and have a day to lend.
