Tampa Bay Area Tacomas BS Thread

Awesome I can possibly meet up at Hidden Springs Saturday evening, I'll be in Orlando most of the day. Their Karma Shenanigans is my favorite IPA from them. Deja Moo is a good stout as well (got a peanut butter flavor to it).

For a mechanic, I have someone that has done work on my truck who works at Toy House Inc. Definitely recommend them

 

Great, I will shoot you over a PM if you want when we are heading there if you'd like. Can't wait to try some Florida Breweries!
Also, thanks for the suggestion on the mechanic! Place looks like a quality shop

 

If you are heading to St Pete, there's a few places you can check out. Ale and the Witch, Overflow, and I believe Cycle Brewing. Near Angry Chair in Seminole Heights area there are plenty places for food and drinks.

 

Nice, thank you! When I head towards Fort De Soto I'll check some of those places out

 

Here’s some info on the party bardge that leaves Ft. Desoto and goes over to Egmont Key. Don’t forget your insect repellent, sunscreen and plenty of hydration. Another thing to keep in mind when out and about is that here in Florida We have a lot of lighting so beware. Enjoy your stay!

And judging by the picture, St Pete is very pet friendly. And there is a dog bar you can take them to. Haven't been yet, but you just need to have the paperwork for the shots.

 

You changed yer member name. Are you trying to confuse us old farts with CRS?

 

Yeah I changed it up Lee, sorry that it caused confusion lol!
Hope all is good over by you!

I had the dealer flash my ECM today, and it took care of a slight surg that was caused by the torque converter locking and unlocking. Truck drives similar to my ‘14 now.

 

That is exactly what I was looking for! Looking at the forecast shows as rain, thunder, & lightning. I know that the weather in Florida is dynamic tho, but will play it by year! Thanks for the url-link

Dang, that's awesome! My pups won't be coming along with as it will be such a short trip, but when I officially move they will be my co-pilots

 

Same 'ol, same 'ol, Jimi. The OGT has a destroyed wheel bearing and shredded LCA bushings. Should be getting all that fixed by next week. She does have a prototype armored radiator now to try and keep the fan from eating holes in the radiator in deep water crossings, but we'll see how that goes.

 

There’s a section of beach that is just for dogs at Ft. Desoto that’s next to the dog park at the bay fishing pier.

I don’t have the link handy but I think there’s a couple of members on here that offer a complete front hub assembly that’s heavy duty.

 

'preciate it, but 1st gen bearings press directly into the spindle. Not as handy as 2nd+ Gens with the unit bearings.

 

That’s right I forgot about that. I should have remembered from my ’04. I hope you get it fixed soon, and back up and running!

 

Got the Koyo bearing and SKF seals sitting on the coffee table. Just have to wait until payday to pony up the cash for the machine shop to do the pressing.

Should be picking up a set of LCAs off an '01 2WD T4R with 124k miles on them Saturday so that should be handled as well.

 

Haha, from Lowe's on Tuesday...

 

Anyone in the tampa bay/sarasota area have a tacoma I can use to take pictures with my sub box in so I can sell it? it was being custom built and then I got a tundra so was never able to get pictures with it in the vehicle its made for

even better if anyone is interested in the box with sub and or amp pm me and we can make out a deal, its all never been used and I have no use for it now

 

I’m in Tampa and you can use it. I am close to Downtown Tampa

 

Appreciate it! I'll shoot you a PM soon to figure out when I'll be up there to see if you're availiable

 

just to be sure, is this for a 2nd gen? or 3rd. or does it matter?

 

I don't think it matters.
