    Anyone know of a reputable shop that can do an alignment on a tacoma with a lift? Most of the shops in Macon have poor reviews or not much experience with lifts.

    Only place that I’ve been to (and that several others here would recommend) is up in Woodstock at Greer Auto. Might be a little far for you coming from Macon though. But if you’re willing to make the drive, he and his guys really do good work at very fair rates. I’ve been to Patrick’s shop twice, first for a post-lift alignment and second for a front end engine rebuild.

    Breaker bar a jack handle a metal pipe anything with a little weight. Jab at the starter on the metal casing like a pool cue if you can't get a good swing at it with a hammer while someone has the key turned in the start position simultaneously . 5 bucks it's the starter .

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    I put on 321 miles yesterday on my Super Duke 1290r. I still can’t feel the tip of my thumb on my throttle hand ;)

    I've been eyeing the ducati 959 panigale in white very hard this morning. Even booked a test ride. I've got to admit I really miss north ga and the tail.

    Dang, they have 4.9 stars on reviews and have an alignment special going on. I may just drive up there for the service.

    Ask to speak to John The service advisor,
    tell him you wheel with Josh with all the yotas and want you the best pricing possible. That Josh refered you from TW, and your looking for a deal that would bring you from Macon.
    Also mention that your a iH8MUD member to get a discount on parts.
    Just saying, I am from Macon grew up there. Now I live in Atl south side of town. It’s worth a call and an estimate.
    +1 (770) 961-0225

    I am very good friends with the guy that runs Service, Parts and Collision. We ride Offroad and ride motorcycles together. He is a super cool guy and has helped me out big time.

    Jeez...I was gripping that bike like it owed me money yesterday. I thought my fingers would not be numbe the next morning. They feel like play-do

    Yeah, they’re very well reviewed. And again, several other TW guys in here can vouch for their work. I’ve seen at least one other Yota being worked on in there the two times I visited, one built and the other stock. So in addition to several of our trucks, they’re no stranger to lifted 4Runners and Tacos.

    I used to be a big advocate for that shop. Matter of fact, recommended it numerous of times, and had a good bit of work done there, but no more. My advice @Quadabaum save your self the trip, and find someone closer.

    Ordered some rokbloks for the 3rd gen, gotta keep that inferno paint looking, well, inferno.

    Next up is to fix the 1st gen, believe my wheel bearings are gone. Rotors are getting eatup on the upper half of the brake pad engagement area.

    Then
    Probably change out the leaking CV's
    Lower the kings
    Replace the lower squeaking bearings in the kings as well
